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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 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 to change icon size in iWorks media viewer

    Hi
    I have just upgraded my wife's macbook from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 and she uses pages a lot
    The media viewer in pages seems to have just one size for the icons of the photos. You used to be able to drage a slider to increase the size
    I have tried all the ctrl key type ideas but nothing
    Why do they delete features that are d=so useful or hide them in non obvious palecs and make it hard for the less technical user.
    I have been using pages since the first and a Apple since 1980 and support 500 machines - most using pages so I would appreciate any help.
    Mountain Lion has made Pages a little less friendly

  • How to change icon size when uploading pics?

    So I'm uploading pics to facebook, into an album where I'll put multiple pics.   The problem is that when I click upload on facebook, and the "upload finder window" comes up, even though I choose icon as the view way, they are at the smallest size, and barely recognizeable.
    Note that I'm not talking about a regular finder window. I know how to get those to come to the right size. I have already set my preferences in finder to show all icons at 128x128, but it doesnt seem to affect the browser upload finder...  this problem shows up with all browsers too (safari, chrome, firefox)
    I'm at my wit's end because I have to upload multiple pictures every two or 3 hours for work, and this is jsut ridiculous.

  • Changing "Icon size" causes .ARW thumbnail image in folder to disappear and icon to appear

    Is this a bug everyone is getting?
    Have  .ARW files in a folder and it shows  thumbnail images of the .ARW files, but if I increase or decrease the slider to different sizes (to view better), a icon will appear instead of the . ARW preview image. Out of all the sizes on the slider only 2 or 3 sizes will show the .ARW thumbnail image.
    Any ideas? known issue?
    thanks

    The method I use is to open the jpeg file Command+A (select all) then Command+c (copy) close the jpeg preview window. Select the small icon on the top left corner of the get info window for the perspective folder. Command+v (paste) puts the copied image in and it then becomes the icon. If you want to use the drag and drop method you will need to convert the image file to an icon which can be done with automator. The icon however is less clear when you do that.
