Is there anyway of shrinking the size of the app icons within the folder that is displayed on the dock? On my iMac ythey are fine, as they all apear on screen at once. But on my MacBook, I have to scroll through them & I don't want to do this.
Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Hi,
Click on the Apple Icon... Top Left of the Screen...
Select Dock... Dock Preferences...
Adjust Accordingly...
Cheers, 🙂
That is to adjust the size of the dock icons. I want to adjust the size of the icons in the app folder (click apps to open a popup of all apps on your mac), which is on the right side of the dock.
this feature is not implemented AFAIK.
Okay, thank you everyone.
You can, through terminal change the default look with smaller icons in a "custom view, " however you may still have to scroll.
You might try this after execution of the command, your list view will look like the combination of Grid View and List View. Terminal and paste:
defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES && killall DockThis command should give you the silver highlite, paste:
defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean YES && killall Dockof coarse replacing YES with NO will go back to default.
example:
Follow up:
While in this new list view stack, press Command-Plus to zoom in, or Command-Minus to zoom out.
There are five different sizes available.
This feature does not work in any other view, and it doesn't work in List View Stacks that haven't been modified to appear in Grid View style.
Perfect! That is exactly what I was looking for. 🙂
I like it! Solves the issue nicely. Works fine in 10.8.3
Will probably have to re-install after an update though. We shall see.
Use Command-Minus key to shrink the size of the icons in the Applications grid view on the Dock in OSX Maverics 10.9.1
Thank You for this Tip
I hated the default icon size in Grid view, there way to big & your tip helped.
Thanks again
This is very possible, and simple.
Open the stack and Push Command + or - to increase/decrease the icon size.
