[SOLVED] Is it possible to add smaller icon sizes for GNOME Nautilus?

Hello guys, I have a question about GNOME Nautilus and the sizes of icons in list view. In the included screenshot, you can see the list view of my home folder with lowest icon size. However, the entries are still rather tall compared to other file managers. To reduce the need of scrolling, I would like to reduce the icon size further. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Edit: The issue is resolved now. I found out, that padding is too large in the theme I use. The issue was already fixed upstream, only had to apply one commit to fix.

Are you able to increase the information density a little further by holding Ctrl and minus? This is how mine looks with gnome 45

Before:

After:
- No, the size in the screenshot is lowest size available. I use version 45.2.1, although only installed Nautilus, not the full GNOME shell.
  
  Ah, sorry to hear. I'll try and find where that entity sizing is declared but I'd be a but out of my depth there.
Nope and probably never will. Nautilus team only removes options and features.

Try Nemo.
- Thanks, but I try to avoid nemo at the moment, as I face a problem of not being able to paste images of a specific types into it. Else it is a good program!
You could try the dconf editor
- Dconf editor lets me define the default list view size, but does not allow to set smaller list view size than in my screenshot.
  
  Oh, well sorry then
