In the screenshot the font size is set to 16 which provides more detail. You can do this by:</p> <ul> <li>Go to the “View” menu and choose “Show View Options”</li> <li>About halfway down the panel look for “Text Size” and set it to accordingly</li> </ul> <p>The text labels are also positioned to the right, which is done directly below text size.</p> <p>In a similar customization, you can also <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/08/customize-launchpad-folders-with-emoji/">use Emoji in Launchpad folder names</a>.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-ADkBLGAuYEE1bS82chpNmtUZE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-ADkBLGAuYEE1bS82chpNmtUZE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-ADkBLGAuYEE1bS82chpNmtUZE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/q-ADkBLGAuYEE1bS82chpNmtUZE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6YH46IReFhY:Tg5uei1HwNc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/6YH46IReFhY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
