How do I change the finder window sidebar font size

I know how to change the font size of the window contents, but the setting does not affect the sidebar. How do I change the font size of the sidebar?
I would also like to re-order the Shared and Devices section...

If you find a way, let me know..... seriously, as of right now, I've not seen anything. I suggested it to Apple, but obviously they did not think that highly of my idea

    How do I change this?

    W.W.,
    Finder>Preferences...>General>Sidebar icon size: (Choose)...but it also changes the icon size, and it also applies to other applications such as Mail.

  • How do I change the default setting for font size when emailing?

    I have Firefox 3.6.13. The default now is 10 and I'd like it 12.

    Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser. Any email settings will be part of the email service that you are using, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to change the default font size in emails.

    How do i remove the finder window from my start up desktop.

    Are you saying that when you log in, there are finder windows open before you even do anything? If so, that's because last time you logged out you left them open. Next time close all your finder windows before you log out and you should be good.

  • Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

    Can I change the screen colour and font size?

    Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
    Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

  • How do I change the Finder Sidebar size?

    It an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the Finder sidebar text size to make it smaller.  The default was too large, taking up too much real estate.  Unfortunately, I don't remember what I did to fix it.  Finder Preferences and View Options don't seem to offer any option to change the sidebar's font.
    Does anyone know?

    Go to System Preferences/General and check the Sidebar Icon Size box.  Make your selection.  This controls the Mailbox sidebar and the Finder sidebar.
    Previous F.A.N reply answered this for me.  I'm just adding the solution to this thread.  I couldn't easily find the way to close out this query.

  • How can I set the finder window to open the same way every time?

    Everytime I open Finder it goes back to it's default view which is just too small, but I want to set the finder columns and window so that they open the same exact way every single time. I'm tired of resizing everything.
    Currently I have to resize every window and column everytime and I think my work is much slower then when I was on Windows because of it.
    Is there a setting, script, file, patch, anything, is there absolutely anything I can do to actually control the Finder views and make them adjust to MY criteria and stay that way...

    That is a big negative. That does absolutely nothing other then close my window, next time the finder window is opened then the column widths are small again.
    In Windows Explorer all your windows are customizable, how do I do this with Finder?

  • How do I change the default window color?

    Having white screens is too bright for my eyes!! I always change the default window color in Windows (hiss hiss) to a light shade of gray and that setting carries thru to all windows (i.e. Word, Excel, notepad....). Is it possible to do a similar thing with Tiger? I see that I can choose between a couple of "schemes" from a "Desktop and Dashboard Settings" area (or similar - i don't have my mac here now so can't look to see the proper name) but I see no way to alter colors within those schemes. If you can tell me how to change the default color for my windows I will be awfully happy. thanks.

    Personally, I wouldn't trust it, and I don't hesitate to try these things most of the time even though they sometimes cause problems. But I've used Unsanity products before and they all require installing a preference pane called APE; Application Enhancement module, and that thing caused me lots of problems for my system, lots of crashes and flakiness. I won't use it again.
    But I'm sure there are lots of people using it happily, but if you don't feel confident in dealing with system problems stay away from anything that adds a system preference pane or goes up in the top menu bar at the top (Apple icons excepted) or has to start up with the system.

  • How can I change the find function so that it "IS" shared between tabs?

    In the notes about what changed in Firefox 25 is this: "The find bar is no longer shared between tabs." I use the find function all day every day and absolutely need the find bar "to be shared" between tabs. How can I change the function back to how it worked before?
    This new change in version 25 will cost me hours of search time everyday.

    Hi,
    The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link].

  • How Do I Reset The Finder Windows Positions?

    Hi,
    I would like to "reset my finder windows positions". Anyone knows how I can do that?
    Thanks.

    So I cannot edit the .DS_Store file?
    You can try, as I do not know how good you are at working with binary files.  When I try to edit a .DS_Store on my system I see:
    ^@^@^@^ABud1^@^@p^@^@^@^H^@^@^@p^@^@^@^P^L^@^@h^K^@^@
    lots and lots of ^@ with occasional other characters mixed in.
    So what will it happen if I delete the .DS_Store file? Will my iMac's all Finder Windows be reseted?
    The Finder will forget information about that Folder.  Where it is positioned on the screen, how the files in the folder are arranged, etc...
    If you are concerned, create an experimental folder, put some junk files in the folder (stuff you can delete later).  Arrange things in the experimental folder, play with the size of the experimental folder.
    Now delete the .DS_Store for that file.  See what happens in a safe experimental way.  If you like the results, apply the same to folders you want to reset.
    "for each Folder", what do you mean?
    If you want to reset more than 1 folder, you would repeat the .DS_Store for each folder that you are interested in resetting.

  • How can I change the default window size of a new message permanently?

    The mail window opens up very small and every time I must increase the size manually. I want to be able to set it so it opens larger or at least opens to the saem size as a previous mail window, which is what Mail used to do.
    Also, can anyone tell me how to stop that new mail window from opening on the bottom left of my screen? I need to move it in orde to increase the window size. So, 2 default actions that are a psin to constantly deal with.
    Is there any guru out there who has had this problem and solved it? Thanks!

  • How do I change the default windows when starting indesign

    The default when I start up Indesign is “only the applications bar is showing”. I would like to be able to change the default to having the Tools and Control showing as well as a few windows like pages, styles, swatches, hyperlinks – not ALL of the windows. I’ve tried setting this up when I first open up Indesign and no documents open. But it still changes back to the default whrn I reopen Indesign. Is there anyway to change this?

    launch indesign--open and position the panels you want--then go to the workspace menu and save your workspace--then, when you launch Indesign it will appear like your saved workspace

  • How can I change the CS5 Windows version for a Mac version?

    I want to change from Windows to Mac, but I can't afford to buy new products.  Is this the only way or is there some kind of transfer?

    SKINNYANDRICH wrote:
    Once I upgrade, how complicated is the transfer process and is there a cost involved?
    You don't need to do the transfer process since your CS5.5 is not eligible for transfer.
    You would have to pay the upgrade cost to upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6
    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
    If you choose that route, just buy the CS6 for Mac (upgrade version). No more to do.
    Install CS6 on your Mac (no need to install CS5.5 first), enter your CS6 (Mac) upgrade serial number then enter your CS5.5 (Win) serial number when prompted.
    And I'm embarrassed to say that my knowledge of the cloud is limited.  Why do you advise to join in relationship to the discussion?
    I'm not necessarily advising you to join. That's your decision based on reading the material on the Adobe website.
    I don't work for Adobe. Just giving you options. I've no idea of your needs or requirements or workflow. Only you know that and if the Cloud is worth your while and fits into your budget.
    The Cloud is available by subscription only and gives you access to current versions of just about all major Adobe software titles. Check the website to see exactly what is, and is not, included. When you stop paying your monthly membership fee, your software stops working.
