Glitch: display is too small

I've been trying to fix this for a while now, Gimp displays everything too small. I've tried switching the theme in the preferences, changing the resolution, magnifying the display and reinstalling, but nothing works. I'm using a Surface Pro 4. When I move the mouse over a Gimp window it gets smaller too, but it's normal if it's on the desktop area, even with Gimp open. The program works fine on my Asus but I can't use it on the SP4 with such a tiny size for the tool and mouse.

There you are. At 2736 x 1824 resolution you _will_ run into problems with GIMP.

A partial solution is to install a new theme from https://bitbucket.org/paynekj/paynekj-gimp-scripts/src/2e8e87faf5eaaf6036e0d8b68ff9f6f37a3f0421/themes/?at=default. Either Color-32.7z or Color-48.7z should do.

"7z" is a compression program like Win Zip. Google "7z" to get a free copy so you can access the theme files mentioned by Alexandre, below.

Glitch: display is too small

Changing the resolution doesn't change much like I hoped it would. Everything stays small on gimp even if it's big everywhere else. Do I just put the folder in the themes as is? I must be missing something because selecting it in preferences isn't changing anything.

I cannot see the Tool Box icons they are SUPER tiny. I've changed display settings and I've added several themes but none affect the tiny icons. It is unworkable like this. Any help greatly appreciated.

OK so I had to go to 1280 X 768 screen resolution. Everything is huge, but at least I can now see the icons. I also clicked on "override application settings" in the display settings menu, but I really don't know if that also had to be done.
