Enlarge the icons or the text

You can customize many things about the windows. Each view has its own options for customizing. When you're ready, check these out.

To change a window's View Options, click on a Finder window, then go to the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options."

If the selected window is in Icon View, the pane shown on the left opens. The options shown in this pane change when the selected window is in List View or Column View; check them out.

The title bar (circled above) displays the name of the selected window.

Choose This window only or All windows, depending on whether you want changes to affect all windows or not.

Drag the Icon size slider to make icons larger or smaller.

Resize the text names under icons with the Text size pop-up menu: Single-click the bar (the one that now says "12 pt"), then single-click on a larger or smaller number.

Choose a Label position of "Right" to make icon labels (names) display to the right of icons instead of centered below them.

These icons have their labels on the right instead of at the bottom.

To put the View Options away, single-click the tiny round button in the upper-left corner, on the title bar.

Clean up the arrangement of the icons

There are two items in the "View" menu that pertain only to windows in Icon View: Clean Up and Arrange. If your window is in any other view, these items are gray, which is a visual clue that you can't use them.

There is an invisible underlying grid in every window, and when you choose to Clean Up the window, the Mac moves each icon into the nearest little square on that grid, the nearest square that the icon is already next to. This means there might still be gaps between icons, depending on where they were originally.

When you choose Arrange plus one of the options from its submenu, the Mac moves each icon into that particular order. The icons are placed in neat rows and fill every invisible square in order.
