          1. Open Files (aka Nautilus)


          2. Grid view: Change your icon view from "list" to "grid" first by clicking the button next to the hamburger menu.



            screenshot




          3. Zoom out: Click on the hamburger menu (three-horizontal-lined button at top-right) and decrease the icon size by clicking the "zoom out" button (or Ctrl+-).


          This should also reduce the size of the icons in your desktop.

            Thanks. That's really help. But before, you need to change your Files view from List to Grid first. Then you can edit the size of icon there.

Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane.
