Feature Request: The icon spacing on the desktop is not reproducible in LM 21.3 Cinnamon

[kuehhe1]

This problem has remained unresolved since January 19, 2023, and my issue has now been closed.
See: linuxmint/nemo#3167 (comment)
That's why I'm posting it here as a feature request.
Preliminary information: The problem exists in all LinuxMint versions LM21.x - LM22.3Cinnamon
aktuell in:

 * Nemo version 6.6.3
 * Is issue with desktop or windowed nemo: both
 * Distribution:  LinuxMint 22.3 Cinnamon (zena)
 * Graphics hardware: Intel UHD Graphics 620, Driver: Kernel 6.8.0-100-generic
 *  64 bit

Is the problem with the desktop or the window model from nemo: both

Problem: The icon spacing on the desktop is not reproducible.

By re-clicking > Desktop > Adjust, two sliders allow you to adjust the horizontal and vertical spacing of the icons.
Unfortunately, there are no scales on the sliders and no values are displayed for reproduction.

Expected behaviour
For testing we can use the terminal command:
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding true
and then: re.-click > desktop > adjust
followed by: Ctrl & Shift & d
Start the GTK inspector and select >properties< in the drop-down menu with the target (top left) after marking a slider and set >draw-value< to >true< with a double-click. Now you can see the value of the slider, see attachment #1

The test shows that it is possible to display the values. Unfortunately, this state is only temporary and is lost after closing the window: Desktop > Adjust.

Through further testing we discovered that window layout and labelling cannot be defined in a >css< but can be defined in the >nemo-desktop-overlay.glade< and is included in the >nemo-desktop-overlay.c< when compiling.

So we changed the appropriate places in the >glade file<
Select:
<object class="GtkScale" id="horizontal_adjust_slider">
<property name="draw_value">False</property>- -> <property name="draw_value">True</property>
and the same in
Select:
<object class="GtkScale" id="vertical_adjust_slider">
<property name="draw_value">False</property>- -> <property name="draw_value">True</property>

Then we created >Nemo< from the sources whereupon the "values" are displayed.
The result of compiling on a < German-Language-Test-System > was that nemo and the desktop context are now shown in < English > and some things are shown < twice > in the context menu, see attachment #2

It would be good for the Cinnamon design and the usability to add these scales and display of the set values, as already in the settings: Sound, as is already the case in the settings.

< < We ask you to consider this possible change in the next nemo update. > >
