Toolbar Icon Size in PHPStorm and Intellij

I use both these IDE's and my only annoyance is the size of the toolbar icons - they're too small for me. Is there any way to increase the size? I've poked around, and I haven't found a way to assign an icon larger than about 20x20.

The simplest way to fix this is to go into Settings --> Appearance & Behavior Appearance.

Then check the box "Override default fonts by (not recommended): Name: <"set your font"> Size: <"set your size">

This will increase the font sizes and icon toolbar sizes. This works well for HiDPI displays.

I'm afraid there is no way to do it.

Note that many developers prefer to disable the toolbar completely to save the vertical screen space. It doesn't provide a lot of useful features and everything that it offers can be accessed via keyboard shortcuts.

Don't know the shortcut? Not a problem at all, use Help | Find Action (Ctrl+Shift+A).

Under Linux, the icons are undersized. I fixed this by installing the JB JRE here.
