Launchpad Icon Size

Don't know of any way to adjust them at this time. I like them that way but my eyes are probably older than yours.

No, they are automatically sized to fit an 8 by 5 grid. The size of your monitor determines their size.

Crazy. They're so big on the 24" iMac it is actually unusable.

They are more than 2" in size on my 27" iMac - and no, their size cannot be changed. So, I've chosen to ignore Launchpad - I prefer the one click launch of my apps via the dock anyway.

Agree. I like the idea of Launchpad but the icins are too big and spaced too far apart for me even on a humble 21.5" iMac (yes I am envious of you guys with 27" 😁).

I want a slider setting to set the amount of screen space (from the center outwards) that LaunchPad uses. I'd be happy if the icon size then scaled to fit but I guess others would like to specify grid sizes other than 8 x 5 too.

To be able to drop the use of the dock altogether, I'd want:

- the option to show an 'is running' indicator

- the right (two fingered) click context menu in Launchpad

- different way of notifying user that application needs attention

I'd not want to give up my dock and have to go back to OS 9 (?) days when there was no quick way to open anything - everything involved having to open folders - first the hard drive folder, then Applications, and finally the app itself.

I will never use Launchpad (I also never use icon view in a finder window because I like things filed alphabetically and being able to scroll down or up to find them) - aside from the other issues, I don't want my iMac looking like an oversized 27" iPhone.

I like the dock but I am intrigued by the possibilities of a more full-screen-style of user experience. The number of apps I use every day is small enough to fit on the first page of the LaunchPad and that is a single gesture away on my trackpad. But, yes, it needs to be a little more sophisticated than a straight port of the iphone/ipad ui.

I have 67 icons in my dock (which includes only my frequently used apps and folders) - all neatly arranged by "internet", "word processing", "graphics", "video editing", and several very important folders, etc. and I can pretty much find the app I want on the first try. I would not want to look at 2" icons of all of those - it's garish looking and would waste too much time first going from launch to page 4 and then find the app I want (page 4 + launch app = 5 clicks vs. 1 click from a minimized dock). And, as far as I know, you can't just add folders to Launchpad and I have 8 which I need daily.

As long as the dock is not taken away, Launchpad is a non-issue for me. If the dock is discontinued, I will return to opening folders - one at a time - and Launchpad will still be a non-issue for me.

It's crazy with the new icon size with the latest OSX Lion update so I can use iCloud, I did use Lauchpad and was finding it great but - I hate the new icon size, please can they let a slider bar so that I can make a basic change to the icon size.

agreed. just updated to 10.7.2, and the icons are ridiculously huge. there HAS TO BE a way to scale them down...

(and mine STILL don't all stay where i put them....)

Yes, they are huge and Yes, I ******.

They are HUGE............ It MUST ba a way to scale them down............😠

I hated too. And will stop using if it stays ugly like this. Its almos windows size LOL

(there is no category for Launchpad, so I chose Mac OS)

These giant Launchpad icons in 10.7.2 have got to go.

It's the least tasteful thing that Apple's done to OS X since the "translucent" menu bar in Leopard. Thankfully enough people complained about "it" and they added a checkbox in the preferences for Desktop & Screen Saver for us to disable it.

I would also like to urge everyone who reads this thread to click here and send feedback.
