2) Change or restore the upper right corner icon of the foot, which moves when something is loading in Nautilus?... it seems the icon theme i am using is not very well fitted with it and i like the one that comes by default (but only that one)

3) Change the size of all the icons in the gnome desktop?, I think the size specially of some document thumbnails is excessively big...

Thanks for the help!!
1) Open a Nautilus window (Places>Home)

* click edit
o click "Backgrounds and Emblems"
+ drag and drop the texture or picture of your choice into the frame.

2) There is a way, but I have forgotten it; theming is talked about a bit at http://gnome-look.org
3) Easiest of all:

* Open a Nautilus window (Places>Home)
o Click Edit
+ Click Preferences
# On the "Views" Tab choose a different "Default Zoom Level"

GL and Have fun.
