Gimp tools window.

When gimp 2.8.14 is run on a small display with a high resolution, e.g. dell xps 13" QHD+ 3200x1800, the menu icons are not scaled up, like the rest of the application.

The issue with these kind of displays is that you have to set a scaling factor of typically 250%: Desktop+right mouse key+Display settings+"Change the size of text, apps and other items".
In gimp, the texts are scaled up, the icons not.

(Some other applications such as eclipse also have this problem.)

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. With GTK+3, we should have better support to automatically change icon sizes with desktop settings (hopefully working well on Windows and OSX as well). But that will have to wait for GIMP 3.

We have already some WIP to do this through settings for GIMP 2.10: bug 745835. Won't be as nice as some automatic scaling up, but should do the job in meantime. So I close as duplicate of this other bug report.
