P: New smallest swatch size is too large, offer smaller size

After Photoshop CC 2015.1 update the size of swatches are super huge and fills a large portion of the screen (while viewing all of them...which i do) at the minimum size.
Is this intentional?
Is there a way to get smaller, manageable swatch sizes again?

So It's been 3 months and I think 3 updates to address this issue!  Come ON ADOBE... we are just asking for you to bring something back that has been STANDARD on every other CC release... when is it going to happen?

It's not the only cartoon feature in this release, do Adobe receive customer feedback  from a creche?

I just updated Photoshop and these new Color Swatch sizes are horrible. Please offer a smaller size. Please.
Eyes are trained to scan left to right. Now I have to look all over for colors because they aren't lined up correctly, plus its interfering with my pallet -_- A huge interference with my art process.

Please update.

The new minimum swatch size is a serious problem for me as well since my monitor is only 1920x1080. Please change the current sizes to "medium" and "large" and add the old minimum back as "small."

edit: I see Chris Cox said this would be addressed. Thank you! Please add me as one more person voting for a priority fix.

Yes Chris that would be a wonderful solution, for both legacy and retina resolution. So a "Tiny " option will still best to have.

I can't give time frames.  But this is on my list, and will happen.

The large size is needed for some tablet devices, where you can't see or hit small swatches easily.  But adding a "smallest" or "tiny" size is possible.

Its been sometime since the update, this is the smallest possible option. If they're going to include additional size why not make the previous "Large" as Medium instead? The current Small size are just way too gigantic for me to work comfortably.
