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?

Please add the historic swatch size back to the swatches palette - It's the little things that are irritating.

That and the funny screen that said 'blahhh' cannot open photoshop. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

...and CC Libraries that still don't work.

Another vote for getting the swatches smaller again. they are way too big now on small size. No need for that.

Chris, the small setting is set by default and is still over 100% larger than the previous version. Please return to the previous size swatches.

The new version of photoshop has a significant number of issues. Several have been identified on this site. Yes, the swatches have grown in size even when using the small setting. Please make smaller again. Second the liquify tool leaves large white translucent boxes around the area liquified. Yes, the work around is to disable the graphic acc. by holding down the option key. You help in fixes these new bugs would be appreciated.

I guess, but didn't you say it was changed in the 2014 version?
I'm using the 2014 version again, and as you can see in my latest screen shot, the size is much smaller.
If the sizes are larger intentionally and permanently, then yes I would like to request a smaller size option.

Mark - should we change this topic to a request to offer the smaller size as an option?

God damn adobe. Give us our smaller swatches back. Their so freaking ugly being so huge. Make that a 'medium size' option or something. I now regret running the update

I reverted to 2014 version, so here's how it's supposed to look:
