    [SOLVED] Changing icon size

    Three years and seven months ago, someone posted the following question:

    "so i just started using Linux(Ubuntu) and I have been playing around with the way things look. One of the things that bother me is the pretty ridiculous size of the icons on the desktop. Although this is a small thing I was wondering if there was a way to change the size of the icons."

    I am in exactly the same position and have exactly the same question. (The only answer the original poster got was a rather ambiguous silence.)

    Hi and Welcome!

    Please try to right click on the panel and choose "properties". You might be able to change to size of icons as you would prefer. May I ask what version of Ubuntu you run please?

    EDIT: If you mean icons on the desktop itself, you can try, right click "Strectch Icon" also.

    Try going to:
