Is there any way to reduce the size of icons in Launchpad? They're ridiculously large on my iMac...
iMac 24-inch, MacBook Air 13", Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.5), 2x iPhone 4, 2x iPod nano

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

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.
Yes, they are huge and Yes, I ******.
They are HUGE............ It MUST ba a way to scale them down............ðŸ˜
I hated too. And will stop using if it stays ugly like this. Its almos windows size LOL
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!
Now Steve has gone and the things started to get broken .... 😟
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 🙂
