Gentlemen;
I've installed version 10.0 on a few of my servers and due to the
large console monitor (19") my desktop standard icons are HUGE.
I know in my prior version (9.3) I was able to adjust the pixel size
to make them smally however I cannot seem to locate where to do this
in version 10.0.
So, can someone please point me to where that can be done???
Thanks

You can control the size of icons in the file manager (Konqueror), the
desktop and other 'components' separately. As a side note, GNOME makes it
somewhat easier as you can extend the size of icons individually.
If I recall correctly, there are three such components if you follow the
route above (I am still on 9.x and 8.x, so I can't tell for sure). I per-
sonally prefer large (128x128 pixels) icons on my Desktop because previews
of ASCII files, PDF's, and thumbnails of images make it a good reflectant
of content that is worked on. Just ensure you move commonly-used programs
to the panels or use keyboard accelerators. Don't over-inflate the Desktop
with files either. It's only an evolving personal preference, of course.
Best wishes,
Roy
