How to customize 19.10 Desktop Icon Font Size

  • 772

I'm searching how to customize the desktop icons font size on Ubuntu 19.10 GNOME (standard) edition. For example, i Want 8px.

With 18.04, it was as simple as 

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop font 'Ubuntu 8'

On 19.10, there is no org.gnome.nautilus.desktop schemadir. I searched inside all parameters gsettings list-recursively and dconf dump /, cannot find any related to desktop icons font.

fonts gnome-shell desktop-icons 19.10

    as a Admin or for system-wide

    edit the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano/stylesheet.css

    .name-label {
    text-shadow: 1px 1px black;
    color: green;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 40px;
}

    I have already edited above part. I have added the line font-size: 40px; and changed the color to green.
