Hi,
I've recently just bought a Macbook Pro 15" which is preinstalled with Mac OSX Lion 10.7.1. Today, I just downloaded and installed a system update to update it to 10.7.2 with the new iCloud features.
However, I've immediately noticed after installation that the Launchpad apps are huge
and dislike it very much, making it look quite ugly and unprofessional (IMHO).
I've found solutions to resolve this issue on Youtube and on some websites. However, the instructions on these sites state that I should use the Time Machine backup to extract a self-executable file ('Dock'). The problem is that I do not have any Time Machine backups to be able to get hold of that file
as I have not even set up Time Machine yet.
So, I thought of asking my fellow MacRumors members for a favour. I need to get hold of that "Dock" file from 10.7.1 which I need to replace from the "Dock" file in 10.7.2.
Here is the instructions on how to extract that "Dock" file from 10.7.1: http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/19/change-launchpad-icon-size-large-to-small/
Here's the part of the instruction on that website that I need (to make it easier):
I would appreciate if anyone could help me get that "Dock" file in 10.7.1 whether you have 10.7.1 at the moment or whether you can retrieve that file from your Time Machine backups (as I don't have any).
Thanks You very much.
