Bug Description

DockbarX version: 0.41-0~ppa0
AWN version: 0.4.0+bzr1372-0ubuntu3
Compiz version: 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu9.1

When I choose vertical panel alignment (left or right) in AWN preferences, all the special icons (like window numbering) get stretched. The vertical distributed space between items is also too much.
In horizontal view everything looks fine.

Yes, it was a bad idea to make vertical buttons stretch in the other direction than horizontal (if the ratio for a button is 16:9 horizontal, it goes 9:16 vertical). Since the same images are used in both cases it will be horribly stretched either as horizontal or vertical buttons. I've been planning on changing this for a while but I've been delaying that change since I should check over a lot of other theming options as well and it's better to break backward compatibility just once than to spread it out (not that many themes should suffer from this change but anyways).

A temporal fix is to copy the theme you use from /usr/share/dockbarx/themes to ~/.dockbarx and open it and invert the button_pixmap aspect_ratio in the config file.

Changed in dockbar:

Thanks for the quick workaround.
Now I am using the default theme (DBX). Inverting aspect ratio did not give what I expected. Setting the aspect_ratio to "1/1" is a better choice.
I hope you will have time to fine tune the themes.
