Tool icons

[Dan8]

How can I make the tool icons larger, they are difficult to work with?

There are roughly a zillion posts about this problem, for example in the 6 page (!!!) UI too small topic.

The short version is there is no good way to make them much larger without triggering some undesirable side effects. ☹️

So I see.  And after all these years of comments about the UI being too small to use....the developers have done nothing? No such thing as undesirable side effects..you can do whatever you want in writing the code..

Looks like there is a real issue and a lot of people waiting...

I know what you mean but it isn't quite that simple. For example, making Tool icons larger means the Tools panel will need more screen space and possibly a scroll option to make everybody happy, & it will require more storage space for the app if there are several different options for their sizes since the icons are just fixed resolution png or tiff raster files.

Certainly not insurmountable obstacles but it is still a balancing act to find something that works well for everyone.

User choices/options!
