MacOS – Make Launchpad icons smaller again

launchpadmacos

The 10.7.2 upgrade made the launchpad icons bigger which I'm finding incredibly annoying as before I could see all my icons at once, but now because of there being less space between icons my eyes just focus on one icon at a time.

How can I make the icons smaller again? Is there some hidden setting or string I can change (e.g. using terminal)?

According to OS X Daily, if you replace the 10.7.2 Dock binary with the 10.7.1 dock binary, the icons will resume their diminutive size.
