I recently installed Zorin 12, as a dualboot with Win7.
When I installed Zorin 9 I was offered a "slider" to change the sizes of each partition. Zorin 12 did not offer that, and I find that my Win7 partition that I don't use, is far too large. I would like to move 60GB from there to my Zorin partition, but looking at the new "Disks" setup, I can't see how to do this. I'm afraid I may mess up the whole HDD, or lose my Win7. "GParted" doesn't seem to be there anymore.
Another point is icons on the desktop. In Zorin 9 I was able to reduce the size to about the same as in Windows 7.
(I use the desktop for attachments etc downloaded. When I have read or actioned them I delete them or save to a folder. Nothing gets lost or forgotten.) I have tried right-clicking each item, but they will only increase in size. I tried on the Files page as well (4 dots), but they are already at minimum size. The present icons are so big they are ugly and distracting, and cover about half the desktop. If they can't be shrunk I suppose I will have to find a new system.
This is great pity, as my Zorin 9 desktop looked very neat and tidy.
(The new Weather and the Maps apps are very good.)
