Description Brion Vibber 2014-03-01 20:53:00 UTC 
The default theme icons are much too small for newer HiDPI/"Retina" displays that use a 2x scaling factor over more traditional displays.

Icons need to be re-rendered at twice the size for HiDPI; where they're not already SVG-based they may need to be redrawn.

See bug 725263 for gtk3-port branch proper HiDPI issues...

See bug 725464 for gtk2 theme workaround for gimp-2.9 (gtk2 doesn't scale everything automatically)

Maybe it would a good idea to add this info to the wiki as well and reach out to the GNOME design community who might be able to help with this issue.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2014-10-21 22:20:15 UTC 
As said in bug 725464, we will not do any HiDPI changes in GIMP 2.x, and
there is bug 725263 about the gtk3-port branch.
