I have the details of each icon on my desktop, but as you can see on the screenshot below, the details of my iMac gets cut short by a few dots instead of the full amount free. Is there a way to extend this out?

You would have to make your icons larger. Click the desktop, Open View > Show View Options and then from there make your icons larger until you can see the full info.

They're as large as I can make them mate - it makes no difference

Hmm... Then the only thing I can think of more is to try making the text size smaller (from the same window).

Changed the text size to 14 instead of 12 and it displays it all!

Thanks!
