    jayponn75 Hello! I believe it's by design. But there's a workaround where you can change the W10 settings (it will affect the navigation pane/folder pane as well).

      So how do you do it, that is work around the W10 settings.

      Thanks for your help.

        jayponn75 Well, it's obviously a "workaround" that doesn't fit everyone's needs as it decreases all settings. But some like it, others don't. Go to: Settings - Easy of Access - Display - Make everything bigger.

    jayponn75 Yup, same issue with me.  Used to be able to make it tighter to only have 2 or 3 navigation icons showing in compact mode.

      AndyMax25 Hello Andrew, thanks for your feedback. I have no idea why they keep changing the spacing/font size in the builds. It's something I hear a lot from our users as well. Especially when the possibility to easily manage the folder font size (for example) was available in previous desktop versions.
