MikeCoz Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 i think your talking about objectdock... http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/142492-change-desktop-icons/#findComment-1751093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 You could also use Mobydock and YZ Dock. Sadly enough YZ Dock is not available for download anymore. Just a tip. The reason why those icons are bigger is because the mouse is over them. If you remove the mouse they will get smaller again. :) -Couch Potato?

Tran Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 If you're using ObjectDock or MobyDock, there should be an option that let's you turn off magnifier and keep it at a certain size (like 128x128 for example).

mayamaniac Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 lol.. those are docks, not desktop icons. Obviously you never seen a mac running OSX before. The idea came from apple and it's really neat eyecandy, so the PC folks wrote little dock apps for windows to imitate the OSX dock. Y'z Dock actually got warned by Apple so they discontinued it. But ObjectDock and MobyDock are still developing. Just google search either y'z dock, objectdock or mobydock for more info.

dreamz Veteran Posted February 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2004 desktop icon text? alt + 0160. add another 0160 for each additional icon, e.g. alt + 0160 + 0160. you can also use 255 instead of 0160.
