Having troubles using the application icons due their size. Changing from "Small Icons" to "Large Icons" doesn't really improve anything. The MacBook 13.3-inch screen is set to 2560 × 1600 resolution. ![Screen Shot 2020-12-11 at 1.47.11 pm](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d8e60621e3a3e96f315a3bf814e7835a2c61615a.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2020-12-11 at 1.59.37 pm](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2e15b1a4f2dbc760fe4cb0bb258aa18007ebc7aa.jpeg) ---

> [@triks\_melb](#): > > Having troubles using the application icons due their size. Changing from "Small Icons" to "Large Icons" doesn't really improve anything I would tend to agree. Even the "large" version of those icons is hard to read and quite a bit smaller than the icons in Apple's apps (Safari, Pages etc...). Attached a direct comparison: Upper line: MP3TAG, Below: Pages Making these icons a bit larger and in a slightly darker grey frame would certainly help, I think. ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-12-12 um 21.20.11](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2736971e3550214014b2b1aece4530219f3b7d32.png) ---

I've slightly increased the icon size with Beta 5. It uses the the standard sizes as recommended by the [HIG](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/icons-and-images/custom-icons/), i.e., 19x19 (and 38x38 for Retina screens). ---

Florian I think you should look and read " Toolbars and Title Bars" paragraph at [What’s New in macOS - macOS - Human Interface Guidelines - Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/overview/whats-new-in-macos/). I think the problem is between OS 10.15 and new OS 11 UI. I'll still send you email 🤪 ---

Still seeing a substantial size difference with icons in version 1.0.0-beta.6 (28) Safari (bottom) vs Mp3tag (top) macOS Big Sur 11.1 (20C69) ![Screen Shot 2021-01-18 at 8.25.13 pm](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5e7f6ff642f246b8a7c5271ef7a4d2b762f1f31f.png) ---

I've again increased the icon size with Beta 7, mainly for Big Sur. This should address the issue definitively. I had to do a full rewrite, so please look out for any issues. ---

Finally on Big Sur "New Folder" symbol looks the same (size and thickness) between Finder and Mp3tag! 🔝 ---
