Is it at all possible to have different sizes for different desktop icons in Leopard. I just upgraded from G3 iBook running OS X 10.2.8 Jaguar to MacBook Aluminum running OS X 10.5.5 Leopard. I used to use IconSize Enabler application enhancer from Unsanity to uniquely size the icons that appeared on my desktop(HD, other folders I kept on the desktop) but it doesn't work on 10.5.5 and they seem to be lagging on updating many of their products to Leopard compatibility
Thanks,

this was abandoned in 10.2. They changed how the resources are called out. It was a neat idea but now it's gone and on a small laptop screen you end up squinting to see which icon you really want to click on.

That is a bummer to hear. Having just purchased a new MacBook Aluminum with way too small screen I was hoping to continue to utilize the different desktop icon size option that I relied so heavily upon when I was using my G3 iBook running OS X 10.2.8 Jag. I remember it was a contextual menu add on from a third party. I can only hope that someone will create one for OS X 10.5 Leopard. If it is at all possible with this new OS X. Thanks for the info anyway.
