Q4OS 3.13-r1 changing icon size and icon text length (SOLVED)

I just started using Q4OS 3.13-r1, which I downloaded today, and I have been trying to find a way to change icon sizes and icon text length. I have tried make adjustments in the file manager, but I see no changes. Words such as "downloads" still can't be on one line, and changing the size of icons seems to be completely AWOL. I am using the default Debonaire icon theme.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using Trinity.

Yes you can make icons bigger (see attachment). As you can see, after making them bigger, word "Dictionaries", which is longer than word "Downloads" fits in one string.

Thanks for the reply. How do you make the icons bigger? I have tried unlocking the advanced Control Panel options, modified the settings in Konqueror, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Just like shown in previous post`s attachment. View ---> Icon size ---> Big
You do not have to unlock advanced Control Panel options to change icon sizes.

Thanks. I tried viewing the attached file on two different browsers (Firefox and Vivaldi), on two different systems (Q4OS and Fedora 33) without being able to see it. Some of the forum controls seem to be missing as well. The only browser that I can see it on is Safari on my iPad.

I just tried the attachment and it works fine in Firefox, curious.

The problem with text wrapping in Konqueror is a bit of a pain.

The way I resolve it is in Konqueror>Settings>Configure Konqueror>Appearance>Height for Icon text>1 line

That way you get the name with a parenthesis ... at the end

Changing the with Width for text value makes no difference.

Alter the icon size in Konqueror as already shown in View>Icon Size
