Is there away to increase the size or resolution of the program? - Jeremy2z - 09-26-2019
I have been using gimp for several years now and I have come to love it. However, I recently got a new XPS 13 laptop with 4k resolutions and now all my icons are so small to the point it's almost impossible to use the program anymore. The laptop is running gimp 2.12 on windows 10. Is there anywhere I can fix this? I have already increased my icons to Huge in the Preferences -> Icon Theme. Thank you for your time.

P.S. This picture not very accurate if not viewed on a 13-inch monitor but if you look at the top menu you'll notice how squished the words are together.

No fix from the developers in the near future. This a recent posting https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/3794 = wait for Gimp 3.x

I had the same problem, but what worked for me is I downloaded a portable version of GIMP 2.10.12

Three are "themes" to compensate for the higher def display (larger fonts, larger icons), but some part of the UI won't grow (cursors, lines for paths, frames and other figures used in Tools).
