The desktop icons and everything else is huge in Sonoma

I had to do a clean install, which took me from Big Sur to Sonoma. Not impressed. A lot is gone, but that's not my issue.


The items on the desktop are gigantic. Nothing I can tweak in Settings helps. Below is a screenshot of FaceTime in Sonoma. Never had this issue previously. Any help would be appreciated.

Even if you're using a high screen resolution, the desktop icons are, by default, set to a rather large size.


Right click anywhere on the desktop and choose, Show View Options. Change the Icon size slider to your preferred size.
