Question

Answer 1

You can try to redefine the maximum size of the fab image size in your dimensions.xml:

    80dp
    48dp

Must make sure you override the original resources in the Design Library. Try design_fab_image_size instead of design_fab_content_size if this does not work for you.

Use with care as this is a hack not an actual solution. Solution might not work if the resource's name is changed in the future Design Library release. My opinion is to stick with the size that is define in the Design Library as it is the recommended design guideline based on the Material Design which make your overall app looks good.
