If you want larger toolbar icons in LyX, that's handled from within LyX. Right click in any empty space on any toolbar and, at the bottom of the context menu, pick your preferred icon size.

Setting LyX window font size

Also, please file an enhancement request to add frontispiece to the KOMA
layouts here:

Write in ERT: \frontispiece{
then insert the picture behind this ERT
then write in ERT: }
Alternative:
Add the following to Document > Settings > Local Layout, hit "Validate" and
"Apply":
Style Frontispiece
CopyStyle Author
LatexName frontispiece
End
Thus you get a real Frontispiece layout which you can use like all other
title layouts.

Jos?,
While I've used the 'classic.ui' for years it is apparently now broken. I
removed that file from ~/.lyx/ui/ and that made all the difference. Version
2.3.6.1 is now running.
FWIW, I use only Python3; Python2 remains on the system because it's part of
the core -14.2 distribution, but no application I regularly use requires it.
Stay well,
Rich

I would ask the author of Koma Script for assistance putting
that into the Preamble.

KOMA's \frontispiece command is not yet natively supported by LyX. Bt
you can insert it manually by using TeX mode:
\frontispiece{My Frontispiece}
Do this in a standard paragraph at the very beginning of your document
(before the title).
