If you don't need anything very polished, the fastest solution is very simple: take all the .png files in the pixmaps/ directory of the source distribution (usually installed in /usr/share/xournal/pixmaps/ by your package manager, or someplace similar: look for a file called xournal.png on your system). And just resize them to something larger, eg. something like
mkdir pixscale; cd pixmaps for i in *.png ; do convert $i -scale 200% ../pixscale/$i ; done cd .. mv pixmaps pixmaps.old; mv pixscale pixmaps (don't type this blindly on an actual production system, but I'm sure you get the idea) Then restart xournal, the toolbars should become twice as big, and the icons specific to xournal have become twice as big (while, alas, the standard GTK stock icons remain small but become spaced twice as much). [For a more polished look, add transparent margins around the .pngs instead of just scaling them up ?] I'm afraid I don't know how to get the stock icons to become larger.
