Can you resize toolbox icons in photoshop?

I was just wondering if you can resize toolbox or palette icons in photoshop to be able to see them better?Can you resize toolbox icons in photoshop?
There is no way at this time to re-size the icons. The graphics files in photoshop that display the icon images were only made a set size (raster) and not made scalable (vector).





Ironically I am quite surprised that Adobe has not incorporated this feature yet into it's software. Might be a good feature request to suggest to adobe. If you go to Adobe's customer feedback website (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/inde鈥?/a> you can make a feature request and hopefully it will show up on an upcoming release.Can you resize toolbox icons in photoshop?
You really can make all the adjustments I listed. Report Abuse

There are a few odds and ends you can make larger in Photoshop (though not the toolbox as far as I know).





Layer icons/Channel icons/Path icons - go to the flyout menu at the upper right corner of the palette, select palette options and up pops the thumbnail size option. These 3 need to be set individually.





Color palette - also a flyout menu at the uppper right - select large thumbnail or large list.





Brushes - there's a choice for thumbnail size in the brushes flyout menu, but just for the regular brush view, not for the Stroke Thumbnails. If you change it, it will change it in stuff like the clone tool, or eraser tool or anything else that uses the same choice of brushes.





Tool presets - also have small and large views in their flyout menus.





Font names - go the Edit pulldown menu at the top of Photoshop --%26gt; Preferences --%26gt; Type and set the font preview size.





If I run across any others I forgot, I'll come back here and plug them in.





Meanwhile, maybe someone else can come up with more?
