[Silvio Bierman <1522316@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the status of this bug? The current 16.04 still has huge desktop
icons and no way to make them smaller. The Nautilus icon size options
are also way too limited. The smallest setting is too small and both
larger settings are too big for list mode.

Reducing the options to three sizes is a big mistake IMHO. Where we used
to have slowly increasing resolutions on computer screens the high res
screens today are twice the resolution of main stream screens. If
anything we need more options than before. Unity allows pixel sizes for
the launcher icons and Nautilus chooses to dumb down.

Together with the unfortunate choice of making Nautilus another horrible
CSD window desktop usability has taken a huge plunge in 16.04.
