Names display with tools and bigger tool symbols?

[Oliver Ibiza]

Hey guys, bloody beginner here with stupid question:

can I turn on the names to be displayed with the tools ( I confuse them as the symbols are so similar ) and...can I get the tool symbols BIGGER somehow?

thank you very much...

Hi Oliver Ibiza and Welcome to the Forums,

The only method i know of getting bigger icons is on Windows and shown on this thread.

I'm not aware of a way to increase the size of them on a Mac.  It has been requested a number of times here on the Forums, so may change in a future update.

As for the names displayed with tools, if you move the cursor over a tool and leave it, you should get a tooltip pop up saying what the tool is.  We don't have a way to always display the tool name.

At least on Macs, there is a Preferences > User Interface > Tooltip Delay setting, so if you set that to the shortest possible delay while you are still learning about the app, the tool (& many other item names) will appear almost immediately after you move the pointer over them.
