[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] SWKey: Way to Enlarge Upper Left Display Panel Icons for Picking Points and Cells?

[Scott, W Alan]

Understand.  My monitor resolution (i.e., retinas) behind my just discovered, early cataracts, isn't getting better either.  But, you would be surprised how many people complained about the font size of text in 5.3'ish.  Thus, the bug report on text size, and the bug report on icon size.

By the way, I discovered that one of my problems in Linux land was that anti-aliased fonts were not on.  Just use a zoom tool if you are interested in finding if you have the issue.  After a bit of googling, I got it to work.  Greatly helped the fonts - but they still needed the ability to scale.
