You can change the appearance of them by using the following options.
Auto Size: This controls whether thumbnails will be a fixed size or will automatically be sized according to the number of thumbnails visible. If Auto Size is checked, then thumbnails will shrink or grow to make the best use of the display space (within the range of the Min. and Max. sizes). If this is unchecked, then the thumbnails will always be the size specified by the Height and Width settings.
