[Bug 1873592] [NEW] GIMP icons are tool small on HiDPI display

 

Public bug reported:

GIMP has introduced HiDPI support a while back and provides Icon Theme
in the settings.

I have a 4K display set to 2x scaling.

GIMP starts by default with tiny icons (Guess icon size from resolution
in Preferences).

If I change this to "Use icon size from the theme" - the icons get a bit
large, but still too small to see properly.

Then, there is "Custom icon size" settings with available choices of Small/Medium/Large/Huge.
>From these choices, Medium get the largest (but still small icons), where both Large and Huge are the same as Small.

Is the problem with Large/Huge icons not actually shipped?
