By default, the Mac OS X operating system uses the same text size for all icon labels displayed in Finder windows. However, you can increase or decrease the Finder font size using the "View Options" menu. If you have trouble reading the icon labels on your computer, adjusting the Finder text size can improve your computer's readability.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Mac running OS X 10.4 or later
  1. Step 1

    Click anywhere on the desktop of your computer to switch to the Finder.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the "View" menu at the top of the screen and select "View Options."

  3. Step 3

    Select a new font size for icon labels in the "Text size" drop-down menu. Twelve-point is the default text size.

  4. Step 4

    Close the "View Options" window to save the text size settings.
