Launchpad Icon Size

i haven't used the dock in years (i lock it away with a sys pref called 'dock gone'...not perfect in lion, alas).

i use the app switcher to go between open apps, that i open with...launchpad.

i have mailunreadmenu give me an icon in the menubar when new email comes in.

so i work 'fullscreen' (on a 13" macbook), and have for a long time ('fullscreen' as in every inch of the screen EXCEPT the menubar...which i am fine with.

back to the subject, we need a slider STAT!

I agree, the new icon size in Launchpad in Mac OS X 10.7.2 is oversized, making Launchpad look cluttered and chaotic.

It looked beautiful before, now it's just plain ugly.

I think this is one of the best things on the 10.7.2 update. I just say that if Apple made the icons bigger, that change was made for a reason.

They really have to change it. I loved my Launchpad because of the smalls icons, it looked elegant and simple. Now it looks so cluttered!

Every time I go to LaunchPad by *mistake*..I feel Mother*Fature....:) looks like Steve took away common sense along with him 😟...I mean seriously these guys dint saw these gigatic icons on their sandbox macs and dint realize that this indeed looks downright UGLY....u gotta be kidding if the dint....u gotta be kidding if they did and still released to common control-less ppl like me 😟 ....

Until next update..Spotify rocks 🙂

PLZ RESTORE THE SANITY...APPLE!

Now Steve has gone and the things started to get broken .... 😟

I think Apple must add a "minimize/magnify " option like we have in the dock so each user can choose the size he wants ! I already sent a proposal to apple but I'm not sure if they will take it in consideration... Give a "like" if you think this is the solution !

I get that some people don't mind it larger, but a LOT of people really dislike this change and not providing a user controll to adjust it as is provided with the dock is just ridiculous and infuriating. I find Launchpad so fugly now that I might just disable it.

Totally agree like many here, they were just about perfectly proportioned before now they look clumsy ! Definitely needs a slider to change the icon size and while their at it bring back the icon size slider in the finder the lion update from snow leopard has made a total mess of the finder, dare I say it, its worse than windows explorer and thats saying something.

"I just say that if Apple made the icons bigger, that change was made for a reason."

can you tell us what reason is that? couldn't find any...

Even in my tiny 11''air, the icons are ridiculously BIG!

hey, apple guys, give us control over our machines, please!

if you want the icon view slider, you simply go view and choose "show status bar".

Maybe so one can recognise the Apps in the Folders which are the same size 🙂

thanks for the solution!

i find it far too complicated and i think this is apple responsability so they should fix it. this details, like the horrible start up sound and these absurd icons are making me start to hate to use my mac.
