Making final 'CorelDraw' customization modifications within the program, on my new laptop.
Question: I was able to tweak the size of my CD toolbox and command bars, but would like to make my individual tools appear larger on-screen..... (I had to carefully word that sentence ;-)
My screen res is 1920 X 1080 (HD)..... so my 'Pick Tool' and other Toolbox tools is very small. I'd like to enlarge them like I did my toolbox and command bar icons.
Is this possible? And if so, would you be kind enough to walk me through the process? I tried to locate this setting in 'Options' and 'Customization'.... but failed to find it.
Thanks.

that's a good question
hopefully the corel corp. people who hang out here will answer that question
and no matter how carefully you word it, talking about your small tool is always going to be funny, or at the very least, snicker inducing ...

TODD.....no amount of manipulation will increase your tool size))))))

How about having 2 screens, one for toools and one for the drawing?
Posted by Glenn Taylor (Member # 162) on :
1) Just below the last tool, in the empty area on toolbox, right click and click Lock toolbar to unlock the toolbar (by default it is locked)
2) Now, right click on any tool and then go to Customize > Toolbox Toolbar. Over here, you have three options for buttons; Small, Medium & Large.
3) By default it is Small. You can change to Medium or Large as it suits you.
4) And lastly, don't forget to lock toolbar back by following first step again.
You can do this for any toolbar icon by right clicking on it.

glenn, what version of corel are you speaking of? i have X3......this dont work in it.

Well, I already SuperSized my tools - yes I have more than one. ;-)
But those are in the 'toolbar' itself.
My problem is that whatever tool is selected... and moving around on screen as my 'cursor'..... whether it be the 'pick' tool, or the 'node' tool, or whatever.... it is sadly, a very small tool.
It is the 'active' cursor tool that I want larger.... the one that moves with each movement of the mouse.
Does that make sense.
PS - OP, You seem to be pretty confident about your review on manipulation not helping tool size. I am guessing that was derived from plenty of practice???? Har har har. :-)
PSS - you should quite planting Zucchini's in your garden, it's giving you an inferiority complex.

Todd,
I suspect that the size of the active tool controlled by Windows itself.
I'm thinking that if you can change the size of the pointer, the same will happen while in Corel.

Well, scratch that idea.
The curser would enlarge as it moved over the toolbox but once on the workpage, the cursor returned to normal size. I'll keep looking.

I use the cross hair cursor. To me, it's more precise... and it's always the same size.
