icon overlay size too big (in this case Nextcloud)

The size of the overlay icons in dolphin is too big. Even when I use the Breeze icon theme it is. (attachment) 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sync Nextcloud (Neon User Edition Nextcloud Desktop Client Version 3.16daily (KDE)
2. Open home-folder in Dolphin 

OBSERVED RESULT
Icon overlay imho too big

EXPECTED RESULT
More tasteful icon overlay size

The checkmark in the screenshot is provided by the Nextcloud Dolphin integration plugin. They are present in all views, not just icons view
It seems reasonable to consider allowing a way to change the size of the overlay icon

I don't know exactly when and I certainly don't know how, but the overlay icons have a very acceptable size now. On my machine.
Still it would perhaps be a nice idea if people could change the size of these icons.
Thank you

Thanks for the update. In the second screenshot, it looks like you changed the icon theme. That might have caused the change you see.
I'll keep this open for now to let the Dolphin developers add their opinion.

I think the size of the overlay is also more decent in this case...
