OSX typically has 2 icon sizes that can be selected -- normal and small.

By my lights, the trouble with the icons in 1.5 is not that the icons
themselves are too big or small, but that there is too much empty space around each icon. It looks as though that could be reduced significantly
without altering the substance of the icon.

The Qt docs states:
"QIcon can always generate a smaller pixmap from the set of pixmaps it
is given, but it never scales them up, because this rarely looks good.
This is why we get the 48 x 48 pixmap when we request a 64 x 64 pixmap."

Maybe on the Mac the tool bars are too big for the the icons.
You could try to change the icon size in the session file
(IconSizeXY) and then starting LyX again and see what happens.

That does work. However, what I'd like to do is be able to set them to a reasonable size for Mac users generally (and not tell others to edit the session file). Is there a way to do that short of having an installer create the session file and then write a line to it?
