Size of desktop icons in XP
Friday, May 9, 2008 by Victek | Discussion: Icons
Friends,
I dual boot Vista and XP, and whenever I load XP the first thing I notice is how small the desktop icons are. I have OD (2007 sub with IP 3.2) and use WindowFX to increase the icon size to 48x48, but they are still small compared with my Vista desktop. Does IP 4 enable icon scaling in XP? If so this would be a serious incentive to renew my sub

There is a program that comes with Object Desktop called IconX that I use on my XP machine. Which allows you make your icons any size you want and you can even change the fonts and the size of the fonts. There is a lot you can do with desktop icons. Just a side note only works on XP. Here's the WWW Link

It was easier in Icon Packager. Please Stardock, put it back.
