Annotation icons are very small

SUMMARY

Whenever I annotate on an image, then I always have to go very close to the screen to actually see the icons and know what is what. It feels a bit too small in my opinion. 

It might just be a bug and should be bigger.

See attached screenshot.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Plug in a 1080p 27" Monitor
2.  Set Scale to 50%
3.  Set Font Size to 23pt
4. Go to Gwenview
5. Open an image
6. Annotate it
7. Look at how small the icons are

After speaking with Nate, I'm afraid we'll have to close the bugs related to issues with 50% display scaling. As he mentioned in bug 508595, Plasma isn't designed to support this and it would be a large amount of work to change that.
