The better way of doing it is to show the user a bunch of options and
get them to touch the row that looks about right for them:
About right for what? The answer will be different depending on
whether the screen is displaying, for example, a grid of frequently
visited Web pages, a gallery of document templates, a grid of app
icons, a day of photos, or a year of photos. These things have
different information density, so they warrant different display
density too. They also differ in their need for margins: for example,
a grid of photos needs only a hairline separator between them, whereas
a grid of app icons needs much more.
So it might be possible to make UI density a visible setting, but this
would not be a meaningful way to do it.
