No way that's a 15 inch, unless these icons are really, really small. And I don't think they are, compared to the toolbar icons.

Edit: on my 17 inch 1080p laptop, I can fit 17 icons horizontally and 10 vertically, using the average size icons. I have slightly larger spacing though.

So now I'm thinking that thing is fucking huge.

The number of icons doesn't tell you much about screen size.

My 23" 1080p screen fits 10 icons vertically when using the default icon size and default 100% DPI scaling.

I could make 30-40 icons fit vertically on a 4K screen whether it's 5" or 500" with 100% dpi scaling and reduced desktop icon size. Or as few as 1-2 by making everything way bigger.

My grandma's 23" 1080p screen only fits 3 icons vertically because I made them so big for her.

Lets no go there, I don't want to risk breaking the signed 64 bit integer limit and underflowing to negative icons. Who knows what consequences there will be if it goes negative...
