It's currently hardcoded. I have a patch to enable zooming, but it
doesn't yet work correctly. For now, you can edit thunar-icon-view.c:241
and replace 48 with whatever icon size you prefer (you should check the
icon sizes your icon theme supports, else thunar will have to scale
icons all the time).

I'm not planning to blow up the menus with special options. But of
course, you can do that for yourself by editing
thunar-standard-view-ui.xml and adding

  <menuitem action="show-hidden" name="show-hidden" />

to the folder-context-menu popup section at the end of the file.
