How to reduce the icon size in Ubuntu 8.10
If you are fed up seeing the larger icons in your desktop or in nautilus(in my case), this post might be helpful. As a Linux user, I am so concerned about the look and feel of the operating system, in addition to its performance. I was so annoyed by the extra large icons, which is the default in Ubuntu. So after surfing the web, I found this quick and simple solution to get rid of the larger icons.
- Open Nautilus
- Edit –> Preferences –> View Tab
- Adjust the zoom level under the “Icon View Defaults” to a preferable size. By default it is set to 100%. Reducing it to 66% will end up with a fairly decent icon size.
- Click “Close”
This is how my desktop and nautilus are appearing now. Looking good, isn’t it ?
