Folder/File icon size remains constant in details view

Coming in as a low priority feature request ...

A number of operators here use the ability to change the text size using "Control & Mouse Wheel".
This works very well (and we also like that the breadcrumbs have there own scaling, very useful on very long path lists)

The common comment is "why do the file/folder icons stay a constant size?"

No matter what size you have the text, the folder/file icon remains the same size. From what we can see, if the folder/file icon could get smaller it would be possible to display more lines with a smaller font, which is what we need - We currently have Line Spacing set to -2 in an attempt to get as many lines as possible.

Icons do not scale well. They become blurry and ugly.

In case you don't know: Ctrl+Shift+Wheel modifies the line height on the fly. You can go down from the normal value to -12 pixels.
