This is a change in release 5.10. From the release note:

? The "Scale" operation on icons has been changed to a relative scaling from the current size. For example, if you've scaled an icon by 150% already, and request a rescaling by 200%, the icon will end up at 300%. Previously, this would work inconsistently.

So for your example you started at 80%, scaled that by 60% and ended up at .8*.6 = 48%.

To make things larger, use a number over 100%.

The change was made because the prior approach was working inconsistently. In some cases it was an absolute scaling: Enter the ratio of the original size to what you want. But in others it was a relative scaling: Enter the ratio of the _previous_ size to what you want. That was confusing, and There Were Complaints. So the logic was changed to be (more) consistent, and the language around the scaling action was updated to (hopefully) be clearer.

Labelling this is a little tough, because “scale” can be both a noun and a verb: Is the entry box showing the desired final _scale_, or the amount by which to _scale_ the existing object?

If you find a place where that’s still not clear, let me know so I can improve it. (The Scale operation happens in so many places that some might have been missed when cleaning this up)

Team, I have lots of icons on my panels. Typically I am able to scale them up/down with no problem. Just recently I went to an existing panel with an existing icon and changed the scaling from 80% to 60%. The actual % changed to some seamingly arbitrary # like 32. Surprised to see this, I went back to change it again and, no matter what % I enter, it keeps getting smaller.
I recently upgraded to v5.10 but I'm still using Java 11. Is this a new bug or related to using Java 11 with v5.10?

Vinny,

Have you tried simply upgrading your existing Win 7 with the Azul Java 17? You may not need to upgrade the machine itself.

Dick :)

I think Azul Java will work on Win7

Please go to
Azul probably has a version you can use.
