I've been looking, off and on, for a way to shrink the size of the desktop icons. Not available through toolbar menus, as far as I can see.
Turns out there's a more direct way to do it: right-click on the icon and choose "Stretch Icon" from the context menu. You'll get a little box around the icon, with prominent corners. Grab one of the corners with the mouse, and while holding the left button down, move the corner (inward, to shrink, obviously). Release when you like the new size.
Nice!
Comment: One minor drawback to this GUI design decision: it means you have to resize all icons individually. On the other hand, I could see wanting icons to be different sizes by default. Matter of taste.

Actually I found that the best way is going to a a File Browser(Nautilus), and
Edit->Preferences->Icon view Defaults -> Zoom Level
