Changing the Toolbar Button Size

QUESTION

How do I change the toolbar button size in my Chief Architect program?    

ANSWER

You can change the toolbar button size by accessing the program's Preferences and adjusting the Button Size value.

To change the toolbar size

1. Select Edit> Preferences  if you're on a Windows computer, or Chief Architect/Home Designer> Preferences  if you're on a Mac.
   
   
   
2. On the Appearance panel, under Toolbars, change the value to the right of Button Size, then click OK. The higher the pixel value entered here, the larger the toolbar buttons will be.
   
   In this example, the Button Size was changed from the default value of 20 to 40.
   
   

   Uncheck "Scale Toolbar Icons for High DPI" to prevent toolbar icons from becoming larger on systems running Windows and using Custom Scaling to increase DPI resolution. When checked, toolbar buttons will increase in size when high DPI is used. This setting is not available in the Mac version of the software.
   

   
   
   
   
   
3. To see the change in button size, restart the Chief Architect program. 
   
   

   Note: Increasing the toolbar button size may result in tools no longer fitting on your toolbar. Such toolbar buttons can be viewed by clicking the double right arrow icons.
