I have Big Sur installed on my iMac and MacBook Pro. Why are the View Action Buttons different?
See screen captures
Apple revised the Finder UI once again for Big Sur, and you no longer have access to the four-item list view icons in the Finder window toolbar. And you cannot replace it from Finder customizations either. Use ⌘+1 thru 4 to enable these views via keyboard shortcuts in Big Sur.
I don't have an answer for your different Big Sur platform UI discrepancies unless it is somehow detecting Desktop and laptop screen dimensions/resolution and basing icon provisioning on that factor. My 2014 MacBook Air running Big Sur has the second UI example that you have shown. And until my M1 mini gets here, I don't have a desktop Mac capable of running Big Sur.
You are welcome. Hopefully, the answer to this question will materialize.
Thanks but you did not answer my question. Both computers are running Big Sur. Why is one four-item list view and the other is the new UI?
