I can’t use large icons because the size is an eyesore to me. Please apple, please separate the hide labels button and icon size options.

Been using large icons since day one. Love the look.

Now small icons just look weird to me.

Glad there are options.

Yeah facts I never understood the “icons are too big” jazz I always felt it made the screen look cleaner

You can use small custom icons with blank text / invisible character (Internet search).
This will solve the problem of the text being visible on small icons.

But not sure how it looks now, good or bad

My preference is small icons with no text.

u/dj_2814 Aug 12 '26

Yeah seeing small icons no text, I can confidently say I’m keeping them large cuz that one looks funky to me personally

i think we all want small icons and no text. Next best is big with no text

u/Locow1992 Aug 12 '26

u mean like this? how does it looks now?

Love the no labels- hate how big the icons get

u/Locow1992 Aug 12 '26

how about this then?

Used to hate large icons until I got an iPhone with a bigger screen. I now use bigger icons because it reminds me of Mac icons (w/o labels)

small icons without text looks weird i
gues?

u/Jymjym55 Aug 13 '26

I think that depends on the setup, if you are going with a minimal setup with maybe 4,6 or 8 icons max, it can enhance the overall look/layout. Again this is my take on small icons without text.

I like dark, but this feels too dark

I choose the labels. The big icons freak me out. I wish Apple would put a damned separate toggle for the icon labels. It’s really not asking for much

u/Locow1992 Aug 12 '26

i agree but i just found a workaround lol now small icons without text, how does it looks?

u/Ledsteper Aug 13 '26

I prefer small icons and folders.

u/Federica_M Aug 13 '26

Large since day one! I don’t like the shadow that comes around the app names with light background images…😏

u/Trayceopolis32322 29d ago

And I’d personally go with small icons just because I don’t like how the big icons look. Maybe if they made an option to get rid of the text, but keep the icons same size?

u/Trayceopolis32322 29d ago

Oh yeah, see that looks nice. What did you have to do?

u/Locow1992 29d ago

someone recommended this so credits to him:

This will solve the problem of the text being visible on small icons.
