This is just a little mod that allows you to change Nautilus file manager's Places sidebar icon size. See modified Nautilus screenshot below. This guide is tested only with Feisty Fawn!
STEP 1. Get source and install needed dependencies
Get nautilus source
Code:
apt-get source nautilus
Install needed dependencies (these are needed for compiling)
Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus
STEP 2. Edit Nautilus source
Move to nautilus source directory
Code:
cd nautilus-2.18.1/src
Open source code file with Gedit
Code:
gedit nautilus-places-sidebar.c
Line 191 should look like this (In Gutsy it's line 200):
Code:
pixbuf = nautilus_icon_factory_get_pixbuf_from_name_with_stock_size (icon, NULL, GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU, NULL);
Change that line to:
Code:
pixbuf = nautilus_icon_factory_get_pixbuf_from_name_with_stock_size (icon, NULL, 5, NULL);
Save changes and close editor.
STEP 3. Compile and install
Move to nautilus source root (this dir contains configure file)
Then configure, compile, install
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr
STEP 4. Restart X
You might need to restart X, before changes occur.
UNINSTALL
You should be able to uninstall this simply by reinstalling nautilus package with Synaptic
