Thanks Benoit, I’ll be checking out Ubuntu 14.04 this week. Good to know that the
iconGrid.js
has to be changed also.Helpful and clear, thanks for sharing.
In my case (fresh install of ubuntu GNOME 14.04) this was efficient in re-dispatching the elements (containers) of the applications grid but did not change the icons size.
I also had to edit the
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/iconGrid.js
file. Line 14 in this file now readsconst ICON_SIZE = 48;
instead ofconst ICON_SIZE = 96;
