Launchpad App Icon Size

Well eventually got Lion installed after getting the recovery error etc, had to do clean install of SL and re download Lion.

Anyway my question is can you resize the icon app size in Lauchpad? they look huge on my imac and i usually like my icons fairly small.

I have looked around but cant see or find any settings
thanks

I can't see a fix either...reducing icon size on desktop doesn't do it

I think LaunchPad needs some improvements, like:

-Change Icon Size
-Layout view, to better organize it (like when connecting an iOS device to iTunes)
-Search feature (type couple first letters, highlight the icons, or even list them)

I predict (and hope) a couple third-party tweaks will come out soon that will help us on these matters

Launchpad Icon Size

The icon size depends on the dock size.
Big dock = small icons
small dock = big icons

I've just tried it and it doesn't work for me: my dock was 3mm and launchpad's icons were just as big as before...

Think you need to be running the 10.7.2 beta to get the icons to change size

It works! Thanks. But what if I want big icons on the dock AS WELL AS big icons on the launchpad?
