Resize Mac OS X Launchpad Icon

Hello techno46 reader, through this post I want to share how to resize your Launchpad icon in your Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1. Please note that this trick is suitable for you who have an exciting backup of your Mac through Time Machine or otherwise. In other words, you who have upgraded your Mac OS X to 10.7.2 should seek for Dock.app in version 10.7.1 to use this trick.
Okay, let's start working, we would much offend Dock.app in version 10.7.1 right now.
  • Right click on Dock.app from OS X 10.7.1 and select “Show Package Contents”
  • Open “Contents” and then open “MacOS”
  • Copy a file named “Dock” to your Desktop
Now, we will replace the OS X 10.7.2 Dock executable with the Dock in 10.7.1.
  • Press Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/
  • Right-click on Dock.app and choose “Show Package Contents”
    Resize Mac OS X Launchpad Icon
  • Open “Contents” and then open “MacOS”
  • Make a copy of “Dock” and name it “Dock-backup” or whatever you want and place this “new” Dock in somewhere you familiar with it. It prevents you lose your backup files
  • Move the “Dock” 10.7.1 executable to this folder, authenticate the change to overwrite the new version with the old one.
  • Launch the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
  • Type in the following command,
    killall Dock
  • Re-open Launchpad and enjoy the smaller icons

That’s all how to resize your Mac OS X Launchpad icon. Hope it useful. Thank OSXdaily.com
