Toolbar

My toolbar buttons are too small all of the sudden. Any way i can make them larger? I remember there was an option to set them as small or large but i can't find it. Xara Designer Pro+ 22.5.1.65716

Go to Window/Control bars and select the Large buttons tick boxes of your choice.

This not increasing the size of the buttons. This is the option of selecting the toolbar of your choice. what i am after Boy is the ability to make the buttons larger, as they became tiny and hard to read

No. Just happened this morning. All the toolbars and buttons just gone tiny. Is there any option in xara to correct this? All other apps are fine.Just xara.I owe a copy of xara 19 and this is fine. Just xara + have the problem

How about Window/Control Bars/Reset. It may change other settings too but should reset to normal size (fingers crossed)

If that doesn't work then perhaps you've unknowingly changed your display settings.

Right click on a clean area of the screen & select Display Settings from the drop down. Below is a screen grab of mine. Your recommended settins may be different.

xara claims that pro+ is responsive to windows scaling settings, which is why I asked if you had changed any - egg has very helpfully pointed out where the the basic settings are

thing is there is no standard for what you see across programs in terms of the sizing of UI elements - one set of windows settings may suit one progam but not another

Thanks everyone for all the helpful suggestions but the problem still there. Not a major issue as I can still work as normal, only a bit annoying.
But I think it would be a nice addition for Xara, if there was an option to customise the UI a little more, toolbars, buttons, colours etc.... maybe in a future update, who knows!! At the moment the only thing you can change is the workspace, from light to dark and that's it. Even that it hasn't been thought with the user in mind. The dark theme is too dark and there is not much contrast between the background and the tools. A dark grey it would be nice. Something like Adobe photoshop or even WordPress.
Enough moaning from me. I like to know what other users think about this. Or is just me

Well, perhaps you have another issue but this option definitely allows you to change the button sizes.
