25.10 upgrade causing large icons

I upgraded to 25.10 a few days ago, and my desktop has got real huge icons. Is there anyway of configuring them as I cannot seem to find a way to do that.

I can reduce the size in files, but I can find no way of setting it. That will only affect the files view though, and not the desktop view.

Connected with Wayland, I believe

hmm - wayland would only apply if you have the 25.10 wayland test PPA installed.

If I remember correctly (may be wrong… ) right-click an empty area of the desktop, hover over “View,” and select a new size from the icon size options

That is all I see. You can select individual icons and resize them, but it doesn’t work. Maybe this build is buggy

I fixed it. I just selected “align to grid” and it resized everything

All I have to figure out now is once I change the icon size in files how to keep it that way. dconf doesn’t work

Hi @macgrioghair,

When you click on “Align to Grid,” you switch to another desktop menu layout that gives you access to the “Customize” option:


There, you can adjust the desktop layout and the size of the icons in a module that looks like it was imported from Cinnamon:


The size of the icons should not change afterwards, unless fractional mode is enabled.
