How do I reduce the spacing between icons in Finder windows?

Hi,
I have recently changed the size of my icons to 32x32, and the icon text down to size 10 (default icon sizes looked way too big for my taste).
What seems to be happening though is that all icons are spaced at the same distance than when they were the default size (48x48?) leaving vasts amount of white space in between them.
Is there a way I can change that setting so all icons are closer to each other, not wasting so much empty space?
Thanks,
Julian

In the Format panel under the Text Style tab, there is a ▸ Spacing category. Click it to open, and you will have a selector that defaults to Lines, and to the right, the ability to set your spacing in decimal values. In addition to Lines, you also have At Least, Exactly, and Between capability. You can even set exact line height  in points. Check that your Before Paragraph, and After Paragraph settings are correct for your needs.

  • Reduce grid spacing between icons in Finder even further

    Hi,
    Is there a way to reduce the grid spacing of icons in the Finder even further than what the cmd-I window allows? It still seems a lot of wasted space, I'd say, and I think some of my folders would look cooler if I could squeeze the icons closer together...
    Thanks in advance,
    Traversario

    OK, it seems this isn't a simple matter. I'm just wondering if anybody has positive information that reducing the grid spacing further than what the ⌘I window allows is NOT possible?

  • How can I shrink the spacing between the icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

    Hello everyone!
    I would like to open up some space in my bookmarks toolbar (also on the navigation toolbar if I can) by reducing the spacing between the icons. Is there any way to do this without the need of some third party program? If not, which one should I download?
    Curious thing is that a few days ago I did not have this problem at all, all my bookmarks were visible in the toolbar regularly, neat and tight. Now there is that boring guillemet sitting there at the corner...
    And this is the line where I thank you quite a bit for your interest towards my problem. So thank you very much:)
    With respect

  • How do I reduce the space between the images in the fotopage?

    Hi
    I have made a Photopage - and some of the Photos are croped and when I add them to the page there is a loot of space between the one above and underneath
    look at this screen shot
    http://skitch.com/baiaz/n8un4/iweb
    or go to my photopage:
    http://web.me.com/baiaz/Adino/Galleri/Sider/UKE1.html
    Then you will see what I mean.
    Is there a way to make them more even???? So the gap is not that big when I crop the photos?

    The photogrid is square. Your pictures are rectangle. That's difficult to fit.
    To change the settings of the photogrid, click on an image.
    You can change the number of columns, the spacing between the images, the numbers of lines for the caption and the number of pictures on a page.
    It's all there.

  • How can I reduce the width between search results and the preview fly-out?

    Hello, I am using a custom masterpage that reduces the overall width of page content but I am seeing an issue with my enterprise search site. The search results look fine but there is a large horizontal gap between the results and document preview window
    (when mousing over a word/excel/powerpoint result). This means that the preview fly-out is hardly visible unless the user scrolls horizontally to the right. Can someone tell me how to set a reduced width between the results web part and the preview window?
    Example:

    I think the issue is with the Callout orientation, have you customized the page and if so then you can customize the callout.
    check "beakOrientation" and you can set values like topBottom, leftRight as per your requirement.

  • How do I reduce the space between lines in a JTextComponent?

    I've searched pretty thoroughly in this forum and can't find an answer.
    My editor displays text fine, but I'm not happy with the space between lines. Is there any way I can reduce the overall height of each line just to close the gap a little?

    Okay, I've got it worked out. I reckon it will work for my purposes although I have yet to test it in my app.
    The trick is to use a negative value for the StyleConstants.setSpaceAbove(spacing2, -5.0f);The code below shows a comparison between a text pane with default spacing values and a text pane with that -5 space above value.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    public class TestTextPane extends JFrame
    public TestTextPane()
         super("Text Pane Test: LineSpacing");
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    setContentPane( panel );
    JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
    textPane.setFont( new Font("monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12) );
    textPane.setText( "abcdefghijklmnop\none\ntwo" );
    SimpleAttributeSet spacing = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    StyleConstants.setLineSpacing(spacing, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setFirstLineIndent(spacing, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setSpaceAbove(spacing, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setSpaceBelow(spacing, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setUnderline(spacing, false);
    StyleConstants.setItalic(spacing, false);
    StyleConstants.setBold(spacing, false);
    //this line sets the attributes for the text specified by the first two arguments.
    textPane.getStyledDocument().setParagraphAttributes(0, textPane.getDocument().getLength(), spacing, true);
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( textPane );
    scrollPane.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 200, 200 ) );
    //set up the comparison
    JTextPane textPane2 = new JTextPane();
    textPane2.setFont( new Font("monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12) );
    textPane2.setText( "abcdefghijklmnop\none\ntwo" );
    SimpleAttributeSet spacing2 = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    StyleConstants.setLineSpacing(spacing2, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setFirstLineIndent(spacing2, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setSpaceAbove(spacing2, -5.0f);
    StyleConstants.setSpaceBelow(spacing2, 0.0f);
    StyleConstants.setUnderline(spacing2, false);
    StyleConstants.setItalic(spacing2, false);
    StyleConstants.setBold(spacing2, false);
    //this line sets the attributes for the text specified by the first two arguments.
    textPane2.getStyledDocument().setParagraphAttributes(0, textPane2.getDocument().getLength(), spacing2, true);
    JScrollPane scrollPane2 = new JScrollPane( textPane2 );
    scrollPane2.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 200, 200 ) );
    panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    panel.add( scrollPane );
    panel.add( scrollPane2);

  • How can I reduce the time between songs to zero for seemless mixing

    Hi, Ive only just got my 5th generation Ipod and was wondering if its possible to reduce the time gap between songs to zero. I.E a lot of Cd's and albums I have are mixed so it doesnt seem there is a pause between each song but when I put the cd's onto my ipod there is still a pause.
    For example I have a 2 many djs album which is heavily mixed with a new song every 30 seconds so it is a bit of a nuisance if there is a pause every 30 seconds.

    Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
    In short... the iPod does not support gapless playback.
    If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
    See Step 3 in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079
    If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

  • Reports 6i: Unable to reduce the spacing between records

    Hello all,
    We have a report that displays tons of records in several layers of grouping. I need to reduce the (padding) space between the fields and the edge of the repeating frame they are in (in the layout model) so the total number of pages are reduced in the output report. I have the confine mode on (lock icon closed) so as to keep things in proper grouping (like a field cannot come out of its enclosing frame). The problem I have is, when moving fields near to the edge of the enclosing frame, the report would not let me move it to the edge of the enclosing frame. It would keep a (padding) distance between the field and the edge and would not move any closer. Strangely, in some of the other rdfs we have, I could move the enclosed field to completely near the edge of enclosing frame while in confine mode. I noticed no difference in the properties between the two rdfs. I also tried Tools--&gt;Preferences--&gt;Wizards Horizontal/Vertical Gap properties but to no avail. Please note that this problem exists for both repeating and non-repeating frames.
    Thanks in advance,
    Srinivas

    Please try View->Snap to Grid,Unselected this property.Then test if this problem is resolved.

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB) and do not click Preview after you have attached the image.

  • How do I change the spacing between letters of a FONT

    I have a Jpanel that I am writing TEXT on.
    I am using the graphics.drawChars(...) method, with a monospaced font.
    I would like to "Squeeze" the letters together, to get more letters per line.
    (still monospaced, just make them all 1 pixel closer to each other)
    I tried calling the drawChars method for each character, recalculating the
    x and y coordinates each time, but it is WAY TO SLOW.
    If I call drawChars with the whole string, it defaults to the normal spacing of the font.
    any ideas on how to do this?
    Thanks
    Steve
    [email protected]

    It is also a VT emulator that I am working on.
    At first I was using DrawChar and updating a line at a time, but the customer does not
    like the font (the biggest that fits on the screen) so I am trying to FORCE a larger font
    onto the screen by squeezing the letters closer.
    As soon as I went to calling drawChar or drawString for each char, the performance
    dropped to unacceptable levels, since it is making 80 calls for each of the 24 lines,
    rather then just one per line.
    DrawChars calls DrawString, so the results from using them are the same.
    I created my own FontMetrics, and changed the Width methods,
    but the calls to drawString and drawChar seem to not use the font metrics.

  • How can I tighten the spacing between photos?

    Here's what I'm dealing with:
    I want to get rid of all the extra space between the top of the photos and the blue border.  Can this be done?

    That's so the rows of photos will be aligned at the bottom even with portrait oriented photos in the mix.
    Can't be changed.  You could go to other photo display options like those in these demo pages:
    SimpleViewer
    Jalbum
    MouseOver
