Hello,

This is because the icon size in Nautilus was also increased by default, it was a design decision.

You can change the size by modifying the Nautilus icon size.

Closing for now.

Carlos,
What is your suggested method for making this permanent Nautilus modification?

screenshot of icon size

The method to change the size of the icons is to change the size in the Nautilus window itself. See attached screenshot. It might be a slider in RHEL instead of a [-]100[+] buttons, but the place and functionality is the same.
