Apple + Tab Icons: Can I Make The Icons Smaller? They're Huge

Hey. I've seen my friends use the Apple + Tab feature, but every time I asked, they refused to teach me. Now that I've learned, I wanted to know if there is any way to make the icons smaller. They're fabulously large icons of the open Applications, and they seem to switch from Spaces nicely, just wanted to know, all my icons on my Macbook are 16x16 and these look at least 150x150. Anyway to make them smaller?

Thanks in advance,
Sam

The more apps you have open the smaller they get. It's all automatic.

SAM:

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you properly, but is this the solution you're looking for?

1. Click anywhere on the screen background to go into Finder mode.
2. Go to the VIEW menu across the top of the screen and drop down to SHOW VIEW OPTIONS (or simply hold down the Command key and tap J).
3. Up comes a dialog box with a slider as the first item. It lets you make icons smaller or larger.

Best wishes.

Hey Norman. That's not exactly what I meant.

When you hold the Apple Button along with the Tab key down, a list of open applications pops up. The icons of these applications are very large in my opinion. That is what i wanted to make larger : )

Thanks for trying though.

Sam,

Unfortunately, there is no way to change this. It's just one of those things in iMacs that don't have a spot in system prefs. 😉
