Toolbar: Only symbols - no text

In the toolbar of the XnView browser, there is some text: "Thumbnail size" and "Layout".

From my point of view this text clutters the toolbar: Due to the texts the toolbar looks a bit like a menu and the text needs much more screen estate than a symbol (some translations have even much longer texts than in English).

In the toolbar only symbols should be used. I.e. for "Thumnail size" and "Layout" graphics should be designed and used.

Not easy found an icon that represent clearly these functions.
Some idea?
For the Layout is possible to take one of the already existing icons:

Personally I like the first or the third.
But for the "Thumnail size" ???

Using on of the existing "Layout" icons would be a good and easy solution.

I guess Mezich, the icon designer will find something. Perhaps something related to the "Resize" icon (shown in Viewer / View mode).
