Hello guys, I have a question about GNOME Nautilus and the sizes of icons in list view. In the included screenshot, you can see the list view of my home folder with lowest icon size. However, the entries are still rather tall compared to other file managers. To reduce the need of scrolling, I would like to reduce the icon size further. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!
Edit: The issue is resolved now. I found out, that padding is too large in the theme I use. The issue was already fixed upstream, only had to apply one commit to fix.
Are you able to increase the information density a little further by holding Ctrl and minus? This is how mine looks with gnome 45
Before:
After:
No, the size in the screenshot is lowest size available. I use version 45.2.1, although only installed Nautilus, not the full GNOME shell.
Ah, sorry to hear. I'll try and find where that entity sizing is declared but I'd be a but out of my depth there.
May have found it in a header file:
NautilusListIconSizeinnautilus/src/nautilus-enums.h. I might try to add a smaller icon size levelEdit: Or maybe I better play around with margins/paddings of rows/cells. They seem to be too large in my screenshot, comparing it with yours.
Good find, best of luck!
