Eclipse has no support for large / small toolbar icons.
As this error describes :

Another problem is that the GNOME toolbar style, similar to Mac OS X, is for a small number of large icons, and the Eclipse toolbar style is for a large number of shortcut buttons.
This means that recommendations, such as icons versus icons + text, do not really apply to the Eclipse toolbar.

Update 2016 (5 years later)

Since 2011, you have workarounds, for example this answer , referencing davidglevy/eclipse-icon-enlarger , which double the size of the icon in the eclipse main bank.
You have additional instructions at PhantomYdn / eclipse-icon-enlarger .

You have the same idea (twice as many icons) implemented as a script (here gene1wood/scale_eclipse.sh )

But if the problem is poor (too small) resolution on HiDPI / Retina displays, also try the official Microsoft official solution (as shown here)

  • freeze:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide : create a DWORD PreferExternalManifest set to 1.

  • Next to eclipse.exe create an eclipse.manifest file with content similar to this article .

Here's what to do for a simple solution:

  • Go to your eclipse launch icon or PLCXpressoand
  • Click the bottom right of the mouse
  • Scroll down to the menu and press
  • Choose level of detail
  • Check rewriting with high DPI scaling
  • Select system (advanced)
  • Click OK below

Launch Eclipse and enjoy

I searched and searched for weeks to solve this problem. If you want to solve it, go to the eclipse and * .png folder. Resize all icons from 16x16 to 32x32. Then do the same for * .gif.

As you can see in the image, I did not finish the task, but it works if you want to set the time. I am sure there is an easier batch way to do this. I'm sorry I haven't found this yet. Just in case, if someone is still using eclipse (which I prefer) and you need larger toolbar icons.

EDIT: I found an easy to use batch tool called Fotosizer. It remembers all the locations of the icon files when you drag the found * .png * .gif files to the image selection area. Just adjust the parameters for calibration and set the output as the image you just downloaded. If 32x32 is too large for you, just make them a little smaller. Fotosizer Click here. I used the free version. Screenshot Click here

Be sure when you perform a search to right-click and sort images by size to make it easier to find all 16x16 files in a group. This is on the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and RapidClipse version: 2.3.1.201607130701

Take care barry
