Hello. My desktop icons and the icons shown in the file manager are all now small, about quarter the normal size.
How can I return them to normal size?

I don't know what happened. I found some configuration and settings files in my home directory after I edited a document in LibreOffice. I don't want them there and was moving them to the trash (I was going to figure out why LibreOffice dumped them there later) and bang suddenly my file manager icons and my desktop icons where small.

Is there a setting some place that I can change, or a configuration file that I can fix?

The monitor settings are unchanged, they are what they should be.

The display of open applications is fine, even the name text under each icon is the same size but the icon graphic is small.

Hi raj,

I'm not home now, but if memory serves me well, please move somewhere to PCManFM -> Edit -> Preferences.

Thanks again Aleksej, your advice worked.

PCManFM->Edit->Preferences->Display->Size of Big Icons
was set to 20x20. I moved it to 48x48 and everything returned to normal size.

I have no idea how it got changed - really.
