Change desktop icon font

Post by Hugo_vH »

I can't find a way to change the size of the font used under the icons on the desktop.
I've been at it for a couple of hours, I'm now able to change just about every font side in the interface. But, alas, not the desktop icon font... -- Please help...

Hello Hugo_vH - welcome to the Linux Mint forums :)

This worked for me in LM17 Cinnamon:

Open a terminal, and enter the command (for an example):

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop font 'Sans 12'
press enter

Change the font name and font size number at the end of the command to suit yourself.

If you wanted to revert to the default desktop font Sans 10 - enter this command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

gsettings reset org.nemo.desktop font
press enter
