On high-resolution screens the icons of the IDE are much too small.
It would be nice to have an option to use larger icons.

...Just tried changing the Silk Theme icons to 32x32, but the IDE disregarded the new .zip file

It is not the IDE only, it is PB's toolbar library in general that allows only 16x16 icons.
So all PB programs using the standard toolbar with 16x16 icons are affected.
4K displays coming and getting cheaper...
8K at 7680 x 4320 will follow.

Yeah, I use 32x32 png's for most apps and wound up using some of
Sparkie's code and ToolBarImageButton(). But this is Windows only.

I wrote Windows-only Toolbar Pro 10 years ago. PB toolbar lib didn't change in 10 years,
so it looks like the 4K and 8K displays are a good thing - they force enhancements and make the
old stuff obsolete.

Better solution would be real scalability, svg, or maybe wmf/emf? but would need a rendering engine allowing icon output, and color replacement / windows system colors support.
