What is the status of this bug? The current 16.04 still has huge desktop icons and no way to make them smaller. The Nautilus icon size options are also way too limited. The smallest setting is too small and both larger settings are too big for list mode.

Reducing the options to three sizes is a big mistake IMHO. Where we used to have slowly increasing resolutions on computer screens the high res screens today are twice the resolution of main stream screens. If anything we need more options than before. Unity allows pixel sizes for the launcher icons and Nautilus chooses to dumb down.

Together with the unfortunate choice of making Nautilus another horrible CSD window desktop usability has taken a huge plunge in 16.04.
