Making icons extra large
Written by Philip Roy If the icons in the Finder just aren't big enough for you, try this tip - open Terminal (in the Utilities folder) and enter...
defaults write com.apple.finder DesktopViewOptions -dict IconSize -integer '928'
...and press the Return key on your keyboard. Then, restart your Mac (or just log out and then log back in again) and presto - instant huge Finder icons! To return your icons to normal, just resize them in View Options as you normally would.
