Increase the Size of Desktop Wallpaper Thumbnails in System Preferences

[Geek]

<div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/increase-size-of-desktop-wallpaper-thumbnails.jpg" alt="Increase the size of desktop wallpaper thumbnails in Mac OS X Lion" title="increase-size-of-desktop-wallpaper-thumbnails" width="620" height="267" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25193" /></p>

<p>Using the familiar pinch and spread gesture in <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">OS X Lion</a>, you can adjust the thumbnail size of desktop wallpaper previews within System Preferences. A spread gesture will increase the thumbnail size, and a pinch gesture will shrink the wallpaper thumbnails. </p>

<p>Try it yourself, just open System Preferences, and from the Desktop control panel use a two-fingered spread, the same you’d use on an iPhone or iPad to zoom into an image or text, or that you’d use in Safari or Preview in Mac OS X to zoom on the content. </p>

<p>The smallest size will show a 5×4 grid, and the largest thumbnails will show 2×2. </p>
