When viewing swatches as icons, you can select the size: Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large.

When viewing swatches as a list, you can select the size: Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large.
- As Small/Medium/Large/Extra Large Swatches

Customize the Hypershade by selecting the ideal size for your swatches.
Tip:You can Alt+right-drag and Alt+drag to dolly in the Hypershade tabs, and middle-click to flip through the swatch sizes.
