Q: Explorer - row height for icon view

[DarkStar GT]

When I explore a folder with (mainly) image files in it, they are displayed as tiles (thumbnails?) but widely spaced out vertically.

If I scroll the window up/down to refresh the view then the rows of images are closer together. Please see the attached "before" and "after" screenshots.

Is there any way I can get Explorer to do this automatically?

Hello DarkStart,

You can increase the Size for the Icon Spacing (Vertical) Item in Advanced Appearance Settings to have more space between icons in all Windows Explorer windows.



Hope this helps,
Shawn

Almost .

The vertical space between the rows of icons (tiles? thumbnails?) is Ok. I'd like to get the unnecessary space above the images to vanish, as it does after scrolling.

I'll guess that Explorer makes some assumptions about the image sizes and only optimises the display after scrolling. Have a look at the sizes of the highlighted background for the item that I am hovering over (transport something or other).
