    I'm using ubuntu 14.04 & I need to decrease all the icons size in one move, can I do it or I must resize each icon?

      For Ubuntu 17.04 with Gnome Flashback: Go to Files (file manager app), go to the Desktop folder, hold control + scroll mouse wheel. This changes the sizes in both the window and on the desktop.

    The question refers to Ubuntu 14.04, not 16.04.
