Resize icons on home screen? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Is there a way to make the icons on the home screen bigger? I'm currently using go launcher.

Can you post what you did/where you found the setting to resize icons? Thanks!

^ In Go Launcher go to Prefs/Visual Settings/Icons. Under icon size, you can change between Default/Large/Custom Size. (Custom size up to 85, seems to require futzing with the grid size under screen settings to make larger icon sizes fit. Stock icons will also start to look blurry pretty quickly.)
Here's the caveat: it seems that if you make a settings change above, and hit the 'Back' button at the top, the change won't be applied. Ditto if you hit the 'n' button. Use the arrow back button on the status bar at bottom, and then the change should stick.

Thanks for the info!

Yup you must click save or the settings won't get applied. On the upside if you mess up you can just click back and any changes since you last clicked save won't be applied

seems if you go over the 52-54 range it will start to get distorted, and if you go higher the labels will not show up under the icons.

I feel lost. I bring up Prefs in Go Launcher and it goes down hill from there. I have white lettering on pale gray so I have to click each option on that page to see what it is. The page it goes to is fine black font. However even checking each of the white font option I can not find "Visual Settings/Icons". Would you have any clue as to what I am doing wrong? BTW un-rooted, with microSD. Thanks for the help.

Are you using GoLauncher EX version 2.69? If not, sideload it from HERE.
The first prefs menu in GLEX has white on gray menus, but they aren't nearly as unreadable as you describe. Here's a screencap of what I'm seeing:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The very first item should be Visual Settings.
I'm guessing you're possibly using an older/different version? (I think there's GoLauncher, GoLauncherEX, and now the 'tab' version as well. I'd recommend sticking with GoLauncher EX 2.xx)
Not being rooted, I don't think there's much you can do about the white menu problem for now. (I find that it's bearable when its gray on white as in the screen cap, but white on white is when it gets difficult.)

Thank you zaptoons that was the problem I didn't have the newest version!! Amazing how much better stuff works when you have the same version and instructions are given for. lol I appreciate your help.
