Hi, very thanks for your project to correct the eclipse's icon sizes.

I'm a C developer but my general knowledge about programming is reduced, so, can you explain how to run/execute (on windows) your project to reside the icons in my eclipse installation folder?

thanks a lot

best regards, Carlos Henriques

One definite improvement (if this is going to be more then a quick throwaway effort) will be to add a built version of this code with it's dependencies and a batch file. Until I do that, there's probably no quick way to run this unless you're willing to import the project into Eclipse and run the Main class with the required arguments.

Hi,

Thanks, I think a lot of people have the same problem, in the future more and more people will have also this problem. I search in the internet and your solution seems to be the more suitable. I think it will be good you compile your code and make a little file to execute in the eclipse folder to change the icons size.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Carlos Henriques

I would like to do that, but don't understand how. As a non-java developer, this is abracadabra to me.

  1. cd /tmp
  2. clone --depth 1 https://github.com/davidglevy/eclipse-icon-enlarger.git
  3. Eclipse: New Java project
  4. Specify /tmp/eclipse-icon-enlarger/eclipse-icon-enlarger as project path
  5. ???

Added a non-java solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20718093/eclipse-interface-icons-very-small-on-high-resolution-screen-in-windows-8-1/29032397#29032397

As a first time Java developer and Eclipse user I was able to get this to run under Windows 8.
I removed the logging statements, and replaced those with System.out.println. I worked through each missing library. Most were from Apache. One from google (java-image-scaling). The java-image-scaling was missing a class definition. To resolve that I followed these instructions: https://code.google.com/p/java-image-scaling/issues/detail?id=12 I made a copy of eclipse in "C:\Temp\eclipse" and used the output folder "C:\Temp\ImageOutput"

Hopefully this will help other beginners.

Thanks for the project, it rocks, but It would be great if you add a README.md with a simple tutorial, because some people may struggle :octocat:

How should I use it ? I would appreciate it if you could write a simple tutorial.
