Icon size in Application folder

Hi,

Yes I tried that and it does reduce the icon size in the folder view, but it has no impact on the view of the apps folder from the Dock ....strange ....

there is no way to change the icon size in the Dock stacks. it's quite independent from the view options for the folder that a stack represents and can not be modified.

Thx

Create another user and see if you still have the same issue on the other user. If you don't have than it is an user configuration that it's bugging. After that we can try to delete a plist file in order to set it back, but you need to test with a new user.

Actually, you don't even have go to the View menu for the slider. It should be at the lower right of your Finder window in Icon View. AFA the alias in your Dock, poof it and create a new one by dragging your
apps folder to the Dock. Don't do it from the Sidebar, do it from Computer/Macintosh HD/Applications.

Let us know.

Hey,John:

Not sure which view you are using now....try right clicking to bring up the menu then select "View content as... √ List"

Hello John:

When your application folder is open go to the menu bar, select view>show view options. There is a slider that controls the icon size.

Not sure it is the same issue, but no matter how many times I change Applications's folder view options, it resets to 64x64 icon size and sort by name when I login again.

I go to to view->show view options and the select 48x48, sort by kind and click on use as defaults. Everytime I login again, Applications folder's icons are 64x64 and sorted by name.

Worked perfect in Leopard but now it *****.

Any ideas?

Yes, I have same issue with my Mac Pro, that is using 10.6. I haven't installed 10.6 on my Macbook yet, since there is some issues that needed to solve before. Like this one and the stop/play button brings up iTunes.

ditto again -- i waited till now to update to snow leopard cause i wanted all the issues to be worked out.. plus was waiting for some apps to update / be compatible. but these icons are stupid... i am not visually impaired and don't need 1 inch icons for the dock apps... and if i did that should be an option not forced. apple - pls change this!!

I just wanted to chime in that this is bugging me as well - surely there must be an option somewhere? I can't believe somebody at Apple made the executive decision that our icons must be gigantic and hence useless, but we won't be given the option to shrink them. While that option existed before. Sort of ridiculous

I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard using my Time Machine, guess what!!

The icons in the grid view of Applications folder in the dock have become huge.

Now I can see 5 columns and 4 rows only and need to scroll to find other apps.

Earlier when I was with Leopard, I could see all applications.

So anyone yet figured how to reduce the size of the icons?

I just got a new macbook today, so this is my first look at Snow Leopard. I am so glad now that I never got around to upgrading the iMac.

I'm not visually impaired, I don't need icons an inch high. I've never seen anything so ridiculous.

Has anyone found a way to fix this!!!!!
