The issue has been fixed in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/14.04.2-0ubuntu1
The minimal size is 16 though since under that the launcher has bugs (e.g the emblems don't scale down as they should) ** Package changed: gnome-control-center-unity (Ubuntu) => unity- control-center (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168409 Title: Min slider value for launcher icon size needs to be updated Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: It's nice that in Raring now you can resize launcher icon size to min of 8 pxl, but the change hasn't been reflected on the slider value in Appearance applet. If you have set the launcher icon size smaller than 32 pxl eg through dconf, it will always get reset to 32 pxl every time you open the applet Hope this is just a minor oversight and will get fixed soon.
