Description Murz 2014-06-25 05:30:32 UTC

Tools sidebar buttons in Krita are too small on high resolution http://i.imgur.com/xvLaWGx.png
In high PPI screens they are very little in millimeters size and not usable.
Is there any way to inrecase or tune-up size of toolbar buttons in Krita interface? 

Reproducible: Always

Yes, this really should follow the desktop settings or be configurable. I did some quick hacking in the code to set it 64x64 as a test, and that sort of worked, with a number of problems:

* the layout got messed up
* we only have the icons in one size, without the svg files to generate bigger sizes

Comment 2 Sven Langkamp 2014-07-04 02:25:57 UTC

The svg file for the icons is now in the repository.

Comment 3 Barafu Albino Cheetah 2015-05-08 14:43:01 UTC

Please, we really need at least some hack to fix it now. It is not a minor cosmetic nuisance, it is really "Krita not working on 4K2K display" sort of bug. I can only use tools if I can remember keyboard shortcuts for them.

Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2015-05-08 14:51:37 UTC

It's not just the toolbox: there are other parts of Krita that use hard-coded pixel measurements, often coding for a size of 10 or 12 pixels.

Pushed by rempt into branch 'calligra/2.9'.

Right-click on the toolbox to select a new size.

Note: it's now even easier to make the toolbox way too high
for the screen, and in that case you have to manually resize
the toolbox and maximize the krita window.

I try Krita version 2.9.0 and can't see menu on "Right-click on the toolbox". I can select icons size on top buttons, but when I right click on left toolbox bar  - nothing happens. The main problem is with toolbox buttons.

Comment 7 Halla Rempt 2015-12-02 13:34:31 UTC

2.9.0 is too old, it was added after that. Not sure which version, but 2.9.9 has it.

Comment 8 Murz 2015-12-02 15:25:40 UTC

Thanks, on 2.9.9 all works well!

Nice tip, What a newbie doesn't know, lol
Worked great for me after wondering why they were so small
Krita 3.0
