This commit adds a slider to the Grid Launcher so that the user has some control over the size of the icons. For example on my small laptop screen it is appreciable to be able to use smaller icons.
Default (and current) size:

With smaller icons:

The slider has 5 positions, and currently this applies a scaling to the size specified in the Theme.
Size from the Theme:
The scaling from the slider is between 0.6 and 1.4.
I also considered two other options:
I don't think that the first of these two alternatives is a good idea. It's good to have smaller icons for smaller windows by default.
However I do like the second alternative, and I could try that if you think that is a good idea. But a possible downside is that the icons would be resized every time we resize the window, which could have a performance hit.
