Make Small Tiles like in Windows Explorer

Post by Paket236 »

Hello!
Bought XYplorer today and started learning about it.
Got the following question.
Is it possible to make Small Tiles in XYplorer like in Windows Explorer? I mean spacing between icons. In XYplorer the spacing is too large.

Ctrl+Shift+MouseWheel while cursor over pane will shrink vertical spacing.

Ctrl+Shift+NumAdd/Subtract will adjust horizontal.

Thank you!
Horizontal spacing seems to be working fine.
However, vertical spacing affects other Views, which looks scary :)

If there are no other solutions, then hopefully it will be fixed someday.

The Small Tiles view is not really meant to show folder icons, but images. Folder icons are deliberately drawn smaller than the images in this view so the distances appear large. When you show images everything looks alright and makes sense, horizontally and vertically. :)

If you want a tighter view for your folders go for Large Icons.

Ah, now I get it.

It turns out that in XYplorer there is no way to make Tiles like in Windows Explorer? :|
I'm too used to those Tiles.

Now you have an opportunity to get used to the XY style of Tiles.
