[SOLVED]How can I make the Toolbar on Thunar File Manager smaller?

I use Debian 12.7 with Xfce. Is there any option/command that I can use to make the Toolbar smaller? It looks ugly in my opinion

Hello and welcome.

Try this in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

.thunar toolbar image {-gtk-icon-transform: scale(0.5);}

...adjust "0.5" to suit.

You'll need to restart thunar and it's daemon, or log out and back in again for it to take effect.

Note: if you want the entry field smaller as well, add the following:

.thunar toolbar {padding: 10px}

...and adjust "10px" to suit.

Thank you for your reply! I can't find "gtk.css" in the "gtk-3.0" folder... Should make a new file there or does it require a special way to open it? I'm new to Linux, sorry for my ignorance >_<;

Yes, if the file doesn't exist, simply create it. It will be processed if it exists.
