[comp.sys.mac.system] System 7.0 Icon Spacing

gillies@m.cs.uiuc.edu (Don Gillies) (05/21/91)

We are accustomed to shrinking the spacing between icons in system 5.x
and 6.x.  By modifying the finder's LAYO resource, screen real-estate
can be used much more efficiently.  On our SE/030 icons are placed on
a 48*48 grid, rather than 64*64, doubling the number of icons that
will fit in a window.

How do you get this feature in system 7.0?  It is especially important
for those of us stuck with small-screen macintoshes.  These
macintoshes are currently Apple's best-selling machines, so surely
Apple must have provided for this ability in system 7.0.
