[SOLVED] Is it possible to add smaller icon sizes for GNOME Nautilus? (feddit.de)

Hello guys, I have a question about GNOME Nautilus and the sizes of icons in list view. In the included screenshot, you can see the list view of my home folder with lowest icon size. However, the entries are still rather tall compared to other file managers. To reduce the need of scrolling, I would like to reduce the icon size further. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Edit: The issue is resolved now. I found out, that padding is too large in the theme I use. The issue was already fixed upstream, only had to apply one commit to fix.

Ah, sorry to hear. I'll try and find where that entity sizing is declared but I'd be a but out of my depth there.

May have found it in a header file: NautilusListIconSize in nautilus/src/nautilus-enums.h. I might try to add a smaller icon size level

Edit: Or maybe I better play around with margins/paddings of rows/cells. They seem to be too large in my screenshot, comparing it with yours.
