Solved Desktop shortcut icon's arrow size.

[DOGAN]

How can I reduce size of the SHORTCUT ARROW on icons, for very hi-rez desktops?
I have 30 in. monitor (2600X1900 res.) I have too many shortcuts, so I have to keep them smallest, but arrows are not proportionally small. They are covering most of the icon area, thus I can't see the content of the icon.

You can try installing some third party icon packs. Some of these icon packs have better looking shortcut icons, possibly with smaller shortcut arrows beside them. Some third party themes also come with such icon packs but they are harder to install.

Hello Dogan, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if changing the shortcut arrow to the "Light Arrow", or one of your own, in OPTION ONE of the tutorial below may work for.

I am already using my own icons, and when you have 600 icons on the desktop for several years, you memorize the icons graphically, rather than reading their descriptions. (This is the whole advantage of making icons at the first place, isn'it ?)
Thus, I would not purchase third party icon making software to memorize them all again.
What a pain!
Thank you.

I have tried option-1 , & chosen to get rid of "arrows" completely what a relief!

Should ask for this long time ago
Thank you so much Shawn.
