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

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

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.

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.

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
