Fonts & icons in sidebar - Snow Leopard

Postby Anonymosity » Thu 12 May, 2011 2:31 pm

I am using Snow Leopard & have a new, huge monitor, and the high resolution makes things look very tiny. Is there any way to increase the sizes of the icons and fonts in the sidebar? I have made the icons in icon view 64x64, and increased the font size in list view to size 14 font, but that has no effect on the sidebar or on text on toolbars. Is there any way to increase the sizes of things in sidebars or toolbars?

Personally, I don't tweak Mac OS X.

There used to be an application called Kameleon which might do the job.
You might want to check out TinkerTool, which provides a number of tweaks and hidden features to the OS X.

I never tried any of those myself, so you will have to explore them yourself.

I would simply put the monitor a bit closer if I were you.

Thanks, but I have Tinker Tool, and have used it to change all the text areas that I can with it. Kameleon has been discontinued, so that is no use.
