2 questions..

1. What application/hack is used to display disk usage underneath the hard drive icon like I see in so many screenshots.

2. Any way in OSx to change the size of icons?

Sorry if these are dumb questions.. i'm a recent "switcher"

it's no hack in the finder go to view, view options, use the slider for icon sizes and check "show item info" for usage..

damn it cube, I was already typing the same answer.... Grr

Well I guess I will give some more insight then

if you are in jaguar, you might want to check this out, it lets you change different icons to a different sizes, on the same desktop, IconSizeEnabler (http://www.pixture.com/macosx.php)

and if you want to play with disc usage, check out GeekTool (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10404)
