Sorry, what I meant was that I already know about the zoom option, but I want a way of pre-defining the size of all current and future desktop icons, so that I don't have to fiddle around with the zoom to make them all look 'about the same size'...
Oh man! Can't help you with that one! Sorry. Maybe some one else much more advanced in Linux than I can.

Me, I resize and save them in my /home partition. Then I drag them out as needed. Wish I could help you more.

That's ok, thanks for trying! :D

Anyways I realized I might as well just scale all the icons in gimp to the same size, and then set the zoom level at 100%. I guess that's the simplest way of doing it.
Well, that's more than I knew. Thanks for helping.
