Have anyone notice, the icons are much further apart using auto arrange then 10.2. Is there a way to adjust it? I have a 12" PB and space is very limited.
Or am I missing something. Newbie here.

Yes, that's my only real grip with Panther so far. You can reduce the spacing by changing the font size in the view options, but the spacing is still much much bigger than in Jaguar.

I've tried reducing the icon size and the text size but the spacing remains. Everybody seems to be ok with this? I wouldn't call it a fix but is there a way to change it?

I also hate this new spacing in Panther. You could easily fit one more row of icons in the same space in Jaguar.
Hope it will be fixed or some kind of option in 10.3.1

There used to be a cdev for System 7 which could do this.
It would be great to have a spacing setting in view options.

Any news on a fix/hack for this yet? Any developers want to speculate on how difficult it would be to fix.
Right now the spacing is my biggest gripe with Panther. Thats a good thing. I'm glad I'm to the point where its just the small things to whine about. But still, please someone fix this!!!

If you have your desktop set up to "snap to grid", I find I can't use the first 1/5 of the screen or so - it snaps to 1/5 of the way across.
So crap!

Switching the text from 'bottom' to 'right' manages extra space a bit better, especially for small icons.

Given that Mac OS X has always allowed icon size to be controlled by a slider on a per folder basis there doesn't seem any technical reason why this couldn't be done for icon spacing too.
I've submitted this as feedback to Apple. The more people that do so, the more likely we are to see a change in future updates.
