I just went from 18.10 to 19.04 and the desktop icons and shortcuts are there but they are too large.

Previously I could decrease their size from nautilus but now they seem to not respond to that and as far as I know, the desktop icons are no longer under nautilus.



I was wondering if there is a way to decrease the size of the icons already on my desktop instead of installing some new extension to create new icons and then resize them.

          Using Tweaks - The easiest way to change the icon size is to install Gnome Tweaks (aka "Tweaks"). On the "Extensions" tab of Tweaks, you will see a cog next to the "Desktop icons" extension. Click the cog to access configuration options for the extension, which include a choice between "Small", "Standard" and "Large" desktop icons.



          Using the terminal - Alternatively, you can control the size with a terminal command:



          gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.desktop-icons icon-size 'standard'


          Other possibilities instead of 'standard' are 'small' and 'large' You can learn this with the command



          gsettings range org.gnome.shell.extensions.desktop-icons icon-size


          To reset to default:



          gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.desktop-icons icon-size

          • Ok apparently it was already at small but their small is way too big for my taste. Can't I change it in a continuous manner? As in using numbers instead of discrete values?

          • Correct me if I'm wrong but apparently there is no option other than pre determined small, standard, large right? Is there a way around this?
