Scripting the desktop icon size in OS X


  • Subject: Scripting the desktop icon size in OS X
  • From: Christian Boyce <email@hidden>
  • Date: Sat, 06 Jul 2002 11:57:55 -0700

I can script the icon size for the frontmost window like so:

tell application "Finder"
set thesize to 80
set the icon size of the icon view options of window 1 to thesize
end tell

but I can't figure out how to make it work for the desktop.

(I also can't figure out why the script leaves me at the lower end of the
window, with several feet of scrolling upward required before seeing icons,
but that is a separate issue.)

Can you help me?
