Ubuntu-Change Icon Size

Here is a handy tip that i would like to share with all linux users. Often you like to change the size of your icons on the desktop to fit either a large monitor a small one. Either ways, its useful to modify the icon size. There is a easy way to do so for each individual icon. Right click and you have the option to stretch the icon size. However to do this as a default setting globally, you need to change the preferences in Nautilus. Assuming you are using Gnome/Nautilus as you default desktop environment and file browser, navigate to Preferences via Edit>preferences in Nautilus. Under that change the default size of icons. Minimize your windows and there you have it. Desktop icons are now re sized!
