Toolbar icons are too small for HD display

[Finly]

After upgrade my computer to HD display. The icons in toolbar(PL/SQL Developer 11 version) become too small and option Customize->Options-> Large icons is unchecked and disabled. How to change this option? Small icons are ugly smile for users have HD displays, it's so difficult to click these icons. Wish this problem could be solved soon.

Can you let me know your exact PL/SQL Developer version and the display size and resolution?

I had this too when testing it on my home setup. This was using PL/SQL Developer 11 (can check later but I think 11.0.2) on a UHD monitor at 3840 x 2160.

The PL/SQL Developer version is the latest(11.0.4). The Display resolution is 2560*1600(13 inches), 1920*1080(13 inches) also have the same problem. The toolbar size should be changed, it's so inconvenient.

At my screen size and resolution the toolbar size is just right, so it should not be simply changed.
It should either scale for the chosen DPI or the user should have an option to adjust it's size, or - best - both solutions should be there.

In early versions there was Pref/UserInterface/toolbar "button spacing (pixels)" option. Has it been deprecated? Please, give a tip how to tune version 11 in tha way.

I think that went away in v10.

However it wouldn't fix the problem of toolbar icons displaying at 1/4 size on modern UHD monitors. Most other applications manage this somehow.

You can enable large toolbar icons as follows:

• Exit PL/SQL Developer
• Go to %APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer
  (%APPDATA% is an environment variable like C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming)
• Open toolbar.ini in notepad
• Change the line:
  LargeIcons=0
  To:
  LargeIcons=1
• Restart PL/SQL Developer

If toolbar.ini does not exist, first start PL/SQL Developer, select Window > Save Layout, and exit PL/SQL Developer.
