AveDesk. Size it to your preference (max 128x128), add a caption etc.

Check out AveApps subforum too for troubleshooting solutions.

Standard Windows Icons can be resized from the Regestry...

Run Regedit, go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics", then edit the "Shell Icon Size" string.

Make shure your Icons support more than the standard sizes,try 72 or 128.

Another way is to use AveDesk it´s really easy to handle and offers some more options such as Color Labels etc...

Have a look into the AveApps Subforum for further questions.

OK guys... I chose Crni's blue background. Now,the last question:

which font should I use and what size?

Thank you

Please use edit instead of posting 2-3 posts in a row. generally it`s considered spamming.

You should choose a font size that u like best. As for font type try Lucida Mac. Search for it.
