PB Editor toolbar buttons too small

I could not find the setting to enlarge the Pb Editor toolbar buttons...can someone tell me where the setting is?

I started using pb on my "new" laptop, and the screen is so highres that the default size are under 2mm... certainly eliminates the ability to use the touchscreen!

Thanks!

Same problem here! Any fix for this in the last 10 years?

.... I don't think there is one. I just tried enlarging the Theme images from 16 x 16 to 32 x 32, PB does not load them. (Windows 7/64)

of course, now the IDE is OpenSource, someone could define a custom size toolbar or fake a toolbar with a container (as I do for all my Apps).

if the IDE use the PB ToolBar command to create the toolbar, then the maximum size is 24x24 pixel icons, because of the limitation of the ToolBar command.

in this case one have to use an own toolbar solution to enhance the IDE.

Well, since the minimum requirements for software nowadays should be Windows 7+, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS+, Mac unknown, why can't the ToolBar command support higher resolutions?

Let's change the question, a bit.
Why are the toolbar and menu icons forced to be 16x16 pixel size?

Common sense would says, if we don't have HiRes images, we upscale them.
PB's gadget library says 16x16 pixel size is enough for everyone.

Probably because one of the OS APIs restricts the size to 24.
