Hello, I've found a simple way to improve ComponentPalette usability on HighDPI touch devices.
Compare the following images: 1_Lazarus-ComponentPalette-24x24.PNG vs 2_Lazarus-ComponentPalette-48x48.PNG [image: Inline images 1] [image: Inline images 2] It is quite easy to enlarge buttons area (and improve usability expecially on touch devices), because the buttons size is hardcoded within source, look at the attached patch to see where it is located. It would be nice to add an option in ComponentPalette IDE Options section to let users change buttons size, it could be placed after Palette is visible checkbox and before Pages section. In my case 48x48 is good, but even 64x64 could be optimal. I haven't tried if something similar can be applied to IDE CoolBar buttons too, but it seems resonable to think about it as well. Sandro p.s.: Waiting for Santa... :-)
