Those files appear to belong to an account called 'default'
Is that your user name on the Linux Lite installation on the Thinkpad or have you anonymised it for the post  ?

Gemini6:
Thanks.
I am not 100% sure if I understand well, but I started all over again, by following your procedure step by step, after having set the icon size to 50.
Strangely, my desktop icons don't change any more...
When I type.

--- Code: ---ls -l ~/.config/gtk-3.0/

--- End code ---
I get.

--- Code: ---total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 default default  20 Jul 23 03:41 bookmarks
-rw-rw-r-- 1 default default 109 Jul 25 13:00 gtk.css

--- End code ---
Maybe the permissions are wrong??
Anyway, now by reducing icon size, I can have 8 rows of desktop icons. So, I think I can live with that..

stevef:
That listing looks fine.
With small Icons, because the default cell padding is small, using a value of zero doesn't actually make a great difference (to my eyes).  Try changing the values to say 50 and applying by resetting the xfdesktop.  This should really spread the icons out.

If it doesn't, then we need to dig deeper.

Also post the result of

--- Code: ---ls -l ~/.config/gtk-3.0/
--- End code ---

Gemini6:
Thank you.

I got the following.

Quote

XfdesktopIconView.view {
    -XfdesktopIconView-cell-spacing:0;
    -XfdesktopIconView-cell-padding:0;
}

Unquote

Please post back the results of


--- Code: ---cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
