Can anyone tell me the name of the haxie that allowed one to adjust the sizes of the icons on the desktop individually of one one another? like....one big one, one small one? I can't search out the answer for the life of me..

head over to <a href="http://www.resexcellence.com/" target="_blank">http://www.resexcellence.com/</a> and look in the X mods section. (There's also a bunch of neat hacks to do to OS X)

That hack hasn't worked since the 10.0.x days.

Icon Size would be fun metadata; the Important Stuff could be stretched bigger and Less Important Things could be sized smaller.

And for viewing individual PDFs or Pics, why open them into an app, if the OS would just let you zoom individual files bigger. Just like iPhoto goes from thumbnail to larger image.

So much Quartz fun not there yet

I did this hack (it was great you had a nice menu any everything) and was sad to see it go in 10.1, but the icons i gave special sizes to have still kept there multiple sizes.

It almost looks like this hack would still be possible, but by other means. Have you tried opening the different sized icons that you have with a resource editor and see if there's extra information that makes the Finder display them differently?
