If the font in the file browser is made smaller then the icons need to 
be smaller as well, but they are all made to look good at 16 points, not 
lower, this includes the system’s file type icons.

I have considered a background color setting, but if you can set an 
arbitrary background color then you also need to be able to set text 
color, and thus selection color, and selection color in inactive state, 
and then possibly the label rendering should account for this, and our 
custom icons might need to account for dark background, plus the file 
browser header and its action bar, etc. — and system controls (which 
is used for the file browser) are not really made for having a 
customized color scheme.

So while I have considered it, it’s not really something I’m keen on 
adding…
