Size of the icons

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

When I open Accessories -> Files, the size of the icons is very big.
How can I manage the icon size?

Thank.

It does not much.
Actually it only change the spacing between the icons!
There are only 3 increments.

Patrick,

You have to give us more info. Which desktop are you using (KDE, Gnome,
XFCE, etc.) and which window manager are you running (xfwm4, lightdm, 
metacity, etc.)? They all behave a little differently.

Hello,

gnome (fedora 22)
and probably metacity. How can I check?

Try:

xprop -id $(xprop -root _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK | cut -d# -f2) WM_NAME

as the logged in user. On my XFCE system:

[rick@prophead ~]$ xprop -id $(xprop -root _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK | 
cut -d# -f2) WM_NAME
    WM_NAME(STRING) = "xfwm4"

so I'm running xfwm4.

I'm not a Gnome3 fan in any way, but googling for things, it appears
you must bugger a file. See this:

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/59707/icon-size-of-gnome-314/

Your mileage may vary......

You're using mutter as your window manager (yeah, gnome3 uses it
by default).

Check that link I sent as to changing your icon sizes. I don't use
Gnome3 so that's about as far as I can help. Someone else may have ideas
about it.

Hello,

It says:
To configure the layout of the application icons in the GNOME Shell, you have to modify /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css

I do not have this file.
Is something missing?

Thank.
