Smaller font for Tracker

The v3.60.0104 (beta) version has the following new feature
+ Now can display icons smaller than 16x16 pixel and thus show
more lines in tree and list.
How to set a smaller icon size:
- Regedit
- goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
- look for key named "Shell Small Icon Size"
- if not there: add new string (REG_SZ) key
and name it "Shell Small Icon Size"
- set this key's value to e.g. 14 (default is 16)
- reboot
Now you should decrease TrackerV3's font size by a point or so
(menu View/Font...) to have really slim lines.

The trick is finding a nice looking font in a smaller size. I used to use 'MS Sans Serif - 8'. With the above, I found that 'MS Dialog Light - 6' works well.
