System-wide icon resizing seems to be missing from KDE systemsettings

KDE/Plasma's older systemsettings had an Appearance tab that included a slider for resizing system-wide icons. That is now gone. I need to reduce the size of my system-wide icons and the only thing I can find is a Global scale setting under Display which apparently only *increases* the size of system icons. What does one need to do now to *reduce* the size of system icons? This capability seems to be lost.

Re: System-wide icon resizing seems to be missing from KDE systemsettings

The reason I'm asking how to reduce icon size is that a recent installation will not allow any reduction of the icon size on the desktop. I have 4 systemmonitor widgets I line up on the right side of my screen which barely fit in the new installation, with no room to spare, neither top nor bottom. My other, older, arch system, has the same resolution (1366x768), same brand/manufacturer, same GPU, and those 4 widgets fit perfectly with room to spare. The Folder widget on the new installation takes up a quarter of my desktop and has huge icons. I need to set my system-wide icon size to about 80%, but the Global scale slider starts at 100%, which is too big. The Appearance tab in systemsettings is gone, and that's where this kind of adjustment would normally have been made. Googling this is worthless - none of the results apply. One said to use kde-systemsettings, which doesn't even exist.

What does one do now to reduce the size of system-wide icons?
