Is there a way to adjust the icon size in the Eclipse workspace?

Question

I am running an Eclipse IDE via Parallels on a Retina MacBook Pro.

Parallels automatically configures the font sizes in Windows to deal with the Retina display resolution. So all that looks good.

The problem is that the icons in the workspace are still the same size and as such render so tiny it is almost impossible to see them.

I would like to be able to tell Eclipse to resize the icons (probably by x2 or x4). I don't care if they look blocky, only that I can see them.

Is such a thing possible?

To pre-empt the obvious answers:

• I need to use the IDE in windows (due to JNI libraries).
• Also restarting straight into Bootcamp won't solve the issue either unless I lower the resolution. Which defeats the purpose of the extra screen real estate.

Answer 1

Referring to the User Interface Guidelines of Eclipse 3.x this is not possible at the moment. The icons (Toolbar for example) have a maximal size of 16px.

The majority of Eclipse style icons are designed within an area of 16 x 16 pixels. That is the final cut size of the image.

The icons can be found here:
