The new finders have a new resource in them called LAYO which I believe stands
for Layout. The newest version of ResEdit has a template for LAYO's and you can
therefore customize the layout of your finder there.
Among other things it will let you set:
-Icon grid spacing (for large and small icon modes)
-Icon grid phase (for a staggered grid, this is great for making the icons
closer together and staggered so the text doesn't overlap.
-Font style and size
-Window zooming rectangles (turning off speeds up window opening)
-tabs for window headers
-default window size and position
-other window parameters

I tried customizing grid phase, and found that "Clean Up" was broken. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it hung. It probably hasn't been tested extensively with non-zero phase settings.

I had the same trouble. Turning off zoom rectangles worked though. -- Bill Arnett {ucbvax,nsc}!tolerant!maddog Tolerant Systems, Inc. San Jose 408/946-5667
