This question already has an answer here:



  • Is there some way to decrease folders/icons size in Nautilus 3.18?

    5 answers



I applied some pending updates this morning, and after restarting all the icons (desktop and file explorer) were huge:
icons



I tried changing the zoom settings in the file explorer to small, but that only makes them a bit smaller (still huge), I also tried messing with the dconf Editor, but that does nothing.



I also tried 



DISPLAY=:0 dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

unity --reset-icons

setsid unity


but no luck, still the same.



How can I set everything back to normal?



I'm using Ubuntu GNOME Metacity desktop and arc dark theme

I used the steps here to downgrade nautilus to 3.14, and I'm never ever updating anything again, because everytime I do it something in Ubuntu breaks (last time was grub).

            How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
