This problem should be solvable by editing the /usr/share/icons/Human/index.theme file. Currently it contains the following:
[scalable/filesystems] Size=48 Context=filesystems Type=Scalable MinSize=32 MaxSize=256 So the icon theme code thinks that icons in that directory have a nominal size of 48 pixels. Since they are actually 128x128, they appear about 2.5 times larger than other icons. There are two possible fixes: 1. edit index.theme and set the nominal size of icons in scalable/filesystems to 128 pixels. 2. edit the SVG files so that they are 48x48 pixels. I've tried (1) locally and it fixes the problem for the folder icons. I haven't checked the scalable icons in the other directories, so it is possible that some of the other sections in index.theme to make sure that they match. -- Folder icons in 'Human' theme are huge https://launchpad.net/bugs/46219 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
