Icon Width

General Help
#1

In, for example, the files pages the icon for each file needs to be expanded so that the text below each file is readable. How are they expanded, individually and/or globally? Thanks

#2

Can you please post a screenshot showing what it is you are describing?

#3

Thanks. When I take a screenshot it pastes as if the files are in list form which is not a problem.

When in icon view a file named "Keyboard Shortcuts" appears as

Keybo
ard
Short...

Just need to know how to expand the width of the file name

Much appreciated

This sounds like a Gnome Desktop thing. I use a different desktop environment, so not sure if I can be much help. But the tips on this page may be useful:

Thanks for te info

Yes, you can - That is the Desktop Environment I use.
Cinnamon D.E. runs like a champ on Zorin OS. On Zorin OS 15, I use the embrosyn repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon

On Zorin OS 16, the Embrosyn Repo is not pointed to Focal, yet, but cinnamon can be installed from the Main Universe.
