The duplicate question was the same, how to resize the app icons. But the answers did not work for me. From my home setting on Terminal I pasted: /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css and got the response; bash: /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css: Permission denied I tried the other answer and pasted: /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css and got the same response; bash: /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css: Permission denied

In nautilus, the minimum size of 48px is hard-coded within their software. The setting that control this is:

You can see by running this command it's already set to small, so it can't get smaller:

gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view default-zoom-level

Now, depending on your preference, you can set the zoom level by altering the value within the quotes from the list of values listed below

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view default-zoom-level 'value'
  • small
  • standard
  • large
  • larger
  • largest

For fine grain control, use

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view thumbnail-size 100

Replace 100 with your desired size
