Change icon size in Lion Finder

In Lion, is there any way to increase the size of photos in the icon view in Finder?  There used to be a slider allowing you to make the icons large enough to guess what they might be.  I have not yet found any way to resize these icons--the pinch gesture does not work on them.

  • How do I change Icon size in Lion?

    How do I change the size of the icons on the desktop?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To change the icon size on the Desktop, make sure you are on Desktop. Then, go to View menu (on the menu bar) > Show View Options, and you can change your size icon from there.

  • Icon size in Lion?

    In Snow Leopard and prior incarnations I recall that I could easily change icon size in any window by either using the scroll wheel on the mouse OR by a small slider that was in the bottom right corner of the foremost window. Now in Lion there is no "bar" at the bottom of a window and no "slider" there to adjust icon size.
    I know you can do it through the right click Show View Options menu, but I'm looking for something more immediate, for those times when I'm looking at a overfull folder and I want to increase or, more likely, decrease, the size of the icons to get more on screen.
    Has this capability been removed in Lion?

    PS Please forgive me if I've mis-remembered the specific mechanism for changing the size. I remember be able to do it and that doing it was trivial, but I may be off on the precise mechanism.

    In Finder, go to the View menu and select Show Status Bar. This brings things back to the way you remember them.

  • Changing Icon Size

    Desktop icons are smaller than I prefer. I am sure that back in Panther I could use a slider to change icon size, change snap to grid options but cannot remember where it was. Does Leopard have user adjustable options for desktop icons?

    Yes it does. You can control click on the Desktop and from the Contextual Menu select "Show View Options." There is a slider for both icon size and, new to Leopard, one for Grid Spacing as well. The option for Snap to Grid is in the "Arrange by" drop down menu. Don't get TOO carried away with the Grid Size slider, or you will start getting the names of things truncated. Another new thing in Leopard is that you can put your items anywhere you want them (with Snap to Grid turned off) and they will stay where you put them, and this includes the drive icons. Love that!

  • How can I change the size of the FINDER bar so that I can make it easier to read on the 27 inch monitor.

    How can I change the size of the FINDER toolbar so that its eaier to read i.e. make the text bigger.
    How can you move the orientaion of the left side menus so that they sit above a document when using word. If you have a single document open you tend to place it in the centre of the screen and the drop down menus are so far away.

    I don't know of a way to change the size of the menu bar.
    For the other, take a look at Menu Pop. I don't know anything about it. Just happened across it the other day.

  • Change icon size in dock

    I upgraded to OS X 10.9 from Mountain Lion. The icons on my dock (which I have on the right hand side of my screen) all became smaller with the upgrade. When I move the slider bar in dock settings (in system preferences) from small to large the icons do not change size as they did in Mountain Lion. Is this a bug in Mavericks or do I need to do something besides moving the slider bar from small to large? Thanks.

  • Gnome3: change icon size of favorite bar

    hi,
    i want to resize the icon size of the favorite bar in the gnome-shell but cant find the right position in one of the css files... I'm currently using a workaround where i changed the following in /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dash.js:
    dash.js:        //let iconSizes = [ 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 64 ];
    dash.js:        let iconSizes = [ 16, 22, 24, 32, 48 ];
    im pretty sure that there is a cleaner solution.
    regards hennesiv

    Thank you, the-edmeister, as that too is what I needed. The default icon size of F.F. 14.0, are just plain to small. This really helped. :-)

  • Change Icon Size on Desktop?

    I've done something (but not sure what!) to change the size of the icons on my desktop (plug in USB drive, harddisk, etc icons) they are all tiny - barely as large as a single letter in the text underneath the icon. I cannot see any setting to adjust this size - can someone tell me where the setting is?

    HI,
    No problem.

  • Lumia 900 - Updated to 7.8 - can't change icon siz...

    After updating my Lumia 900 phone to 7.8, I don't see the second icon in the lower right to change the size of the icons?  Am I missing a setting or something?  I click and hold down an icon, but I only see the unpin icon in the top right.
    Thanks in advance.

    Your Nokia Lumia 900 was updated to 7.5 CR3 (Tango). The 7.8 update has not yet been released. It is still under development and destined for release later this year.
    You can check your version number under Settings > About.

  • Change icon sizes on ipad

    How can I change the size and spacing of desktop icons on the iPad Retina Display?

    You can't. You cannot customize icon sizes like you can on a computer. You can use Zoom on Settings>General>Accessiblity>Zoom>On in order to enlarge everything on the screen, but that's probably not what you have in mind.

  • HT3390 OS X 10.9.2 how to use the Multi-Touch trackpad to adjust icon sizes in the Finder like previous OS?

    After I upgrade my OS X 10.6 to 10.9.2, I lost.
    Everyday I search the forum to look for the "feeling" of using Mac OS (migrate from windows to OS X10.6). The OS X 10.6 is just great.
    Now the questions, how to use the multi-touch trackpad to adjust icon size with simple pinch open or close gesture?
    Thank you.

    I might also add, you can run 10.6.8 Server in virtualization, if you need access to Rosetta applications:

  • Just got lion and where the heck is the icon size slider in finder?

    The only thing that made me upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard was the every present icon slider in thumbnail view, allowing you to instantly make the icons bigger.  I was annoyed that it Leopard I could only do it for results of a search, so I had to constantly perform fake searches to be able to see my icons at a decent size.
    But now in Lion (Day 2) it's definitely not there by default.  I don't even see it when I search.  Please told tell me Apple took a step backward and removed something useful?  Please tell me that it's hidden in a setting somewhere, right?  It'd be like getting a new car with no cupholders!

    In the Finder's View menu select Show Status Bar. The slider should appear in the status bar as before

  • How do I change colour of Mountain Lion Finder window icons?

    The icons are all grey and actually make it harder to locate things. I know there is Side Effects to change this but it's Beta and I don't know if this trustworthy. Anyone know of a safe way to do this?

    Hello Bronson,
    As the icons are part of the system, any application or plug-in that alters system files is considered invasive. While i do not have a solution or recommendation on how to get this done i do suggest backing up your data before attempting any UI changes. Better safe than sorry
