Check out the picture folder when it spotlights "Yosemite" it bring up a standard icon view (not a special Spotlight view) The image preview is much wider than 128 pixels.
It looks like Tigers Finder supports much bigger icons!

This isn't new news. It's been known since the original Tiger announcement (well, it's been known for many, if not most). Now, why anyone would want icons that large remains to be seen ...

If you have a 12' iBook they wouldn't be much use, but If you have a 30' Cinema display and need to search though 250 images in the finder, 256x256 would be great.
Edit: although I indicted feet above, I realy meant inches.
Its not my week.

It could be interesting, UI-wise, to blur the boundary between icon, preview and the actual image (or window).
Just scale them up or down.

The main reason for support of 256 x 256 icons is to benefit the eventual resolution independant UI.

A 30' cinema display! Hell's bells, that'd be awesome!

Bigger icons? ISTR setting my dock magnification icon size to 512. took half the height of my monitor, but it was quite the demo at least. Perhaps they were just scaled up, but they looked fine, or maybe I'm not understanding what's being discussed ;-)
