Customizing Finder Window Views
In each of the Finder window views (as Icons, as List, and as Columns), you can set view specific options to customize the way you view icons. For Icon and List views, you can select to apply your changes to the current window or to all Finder windows (a personal default). In Icon view, you can change icon size, label position, arrangement, and background. In List view, you can change file size, date, and status related information.
