Small is the default in 10.6, and Large isn’t the default in anything, but it’s quite large and is a great selection for kids or anyone who has vision impairments. </p> <p><span id="more-21172"></span></p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/mac-finder-window-sidebar-text-size.jpg" alt="Change Mac Finder Window Sidebars Text Size" title="mac-finder-window-sidebar-text-size" width="620" height="556" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21174" /></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/BoW4ICKCo7OsmSPYhjhE2z5l-EM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/BoW4ICKCo7OsmSPYhjhE2z5l-EM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/BoW4ICKCo7OsmSPYhjhE2z5l-EM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/BoW4ICKCo7OsmSPYhjhE2z5l-EM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WHIvbwkqMeE:yDyEetaYHB4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/WHIvbwkqMeE" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
