After a few hours of work, a Finder window in icon mode can look something like a teenager’s room: stuff strewn all over the place, as demonstrated with the Applications folder in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Will someone please clean up this mess?

To restore order to your Desktop, click in any open area of the active window and then choose View –> Clean Up. This command leaves the icons in approximately the same position but snaps them to an invisible grid so that they’re aligned, as shown in Figure 2.

MacOS Big Sur - Replacements Icons. Check out the open beta for a bookmarking service I'm working on, WebBites.io. All feedback is appreciated, you can do that @elrumo on Twitter. Replacement icons for popular apps in the style of macOS Big Sur. The Mail sidebar shows mailboxes, folders, and flagged items for the email accounts you use in Mail. In the Mail app on your Mac, do any of the following. Show the sidebar: Choose View Show Mailbox List or click Mailboxes in the Favorites bar. Resize the sidebar: Drag its separator bar left or right.If you drag it all the way to the left, it hides the sidebar.

After things are in alignment, work with the icon view options. (Naturally, you’ll want the active Finder window in icon view first, so choose View –> As Icons or press COMMAND+1.) From the Finder menu, choose View –> Show View Options — or press that swingin’ COMMAND+J shortcut — to display the View Options dialog box that you see in Figure 3. (Remember that these options are the ones available for icon view.)

Note these first two radio buttons, which also appear in the list View Options dialog box:

• This Window Only: Select the This Window Only radio button to apply the changes that you make only to the Finder window that opens when you open the selected item — in other words, the item that appears in the window’s title bar.

For example, any changes made to the settings in Figure 3 will affect only the Applications folder because it was the active Finder window when you pressed COMMAND+ J. (You may have noticed that the window name also appears as the title of the View Options dialog box.)

• All Windows: Select the All Windows radio button to apply the changes that you make to all Finder windows that you view in your current mode.

Of course, Mac OS X remembers the changes that you make within the View Options dialog box, no matter which view mode you’re configuring. You can also make other changes from this dialog box, including

• Resizing your Desktop icons: Click and drag the Icon Size slider to shrink or expand the icons on your Desktop. The icon size is displayed in pixels above the slider.

• Resizing icon label text: Click the up and down arrows to the right of the Text Size drop-down box to choose the font size (in points) for icon labels.

• Moving icon label text: Select either the Bottom (default) or the Right radio button to choose between displaying the text under your Desktop icons or to the right of the icons.

• Snap to Grid: Enable this check box to automatically align icons to a grid within the window, just as if you had used the Clean Up menu command.

• Show Item Info: With this check box enabled, Mac OS X displays the number of items within each folder in the window.

• Show Icon Preview: If you enable this check box, the Finder displays icons for image files using a miniature of the actual picture. (A cool feature for those with digital cameras — however, showing a preview does take extra processing time because Mac OS X has to load each image file and shrink it down to create the icon.)

• Keep Arranged By: To sort the display of icons in a window, enable this check box and choose one of the following criteria from its drop-down list: by name, date modified, date created, size, or item type.

• Choosing a background: To select a background for the window, select one of three radio buttons here:

• White: This is the default.

• Color: Click a color choice from the color block that appears if you make this selection.
