Ahhh ... a totally separate platform has the same issue on this hi-res small

new and Band-In-A-Box needs Windows or Mac, so I'm testing Win 10 with cygwin X
to get some of the
stuff I'm used to in Linux.
When testing Freeplane with Java 8 (in the Win 10 environment) and not
connected to Cygwin X at all.
Same issue - icons are all small and stay small but content can be enlarged,
and menus are already
large enough.
So, as an fyi for similar situations, I'm finding gnome-terminal and pcmanfm to
be most
accommodating Cygwin X apps in allowing larger content fonts and reasonable
menu sizes even though
toolbar icons remain very small.
Thanks for your help.

I found a discussion about tiny icons on a list about Eclipse. Icons are
generally a fixed-size
rectangle of *pixels*, often 16x16. To do any better, an app needs multiple
versions (e.g.,
16x16 and 32x32). They aren't generally done using a scalable format (I guess
things that small
need to be custom designed). Personally, I could live with just repeating 1
pixel in a 2x2
square to give me a bigger, if "jaggy", icon/button, but people don't seem to
do that ...
