Comment (by humdinger):

 Replying to [comment:3 jscipione]:
 > The Deskbar Window is not resizable, therefore Ctrl+Alt+Right Mouse
 Button should do nothing. How would you propose resizing the Deskbar
 window to work?

 See also comments to ticket #4971. Just make the Deskbar window resizable
 via CTRL+ALT+RMB. :)

 > I have a patch in the works to configurably increase the size of the
 Deskbar icons here: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7132. Perhaps if that
 ticket were to be finished and accepted you could use the Ctrl+Alt+Right
 Mouse Button to resize the Deskbar icons which would effectively increase
 the area of the Deskbar window.

 How about horizontally resizing changes the width of the Deskbar and
 vertically the icon size? It may be useful to have either fixed icon
 sizes, like 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, as even being vector icons, not every
 size renders equally nice, I think. Or at least have these sizes a bit
 "sticky" to set them more easily. Maybe even a little overlay showing the
 icon size while you're dragging á là Terminal.[[BR]]
 If your icon size get exeedingly big in proportion to the Deskbar width,
 you could remove the app name beside the icon.
