Mismatch Icon sizes?

Matte

[size=100:7kulh291]Good Day all,
I just reinstalled SU 2017 Pro onto my new laptop..... I went and grabbed most of the Rubies I use, put them into the "Tool" folder, and activated them through the "Extension manager". All good so far. Problem is the native sketchup Icons com if fine, but ALL the external ruby icons are about 1/2 or 1/4 the size and barely readable? Any Thoughts? Screen Res too high?
Thanks, Matte[/size]

Can I go to (Don't know where they are kept) each undersized icon double the width and size of it and re-save it to have it match the native Sketchup Icon size? Tried to track down the add on icon locations to try this....but no luck yet.
Thanks

OOPs, I must have been really tired... I thought they HAD to be in the tool folder! I originally installed everything through the native extension manager, but also copied them to the Tool folder as well.....I Thought someone mentioned that's where they had to go!!! I'll erase all the non-native extensions from the tool folder and verify Sketchup put them into the ...Plugins folder as you mentioned, I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes.

The Tool folder is the incorrect location for user installed plugins/extensions. If you're using a PC (your profile is mysteriously silent on this), they should be in User/App Data/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins.

Did you install fresh copies of the plugins/extensions or did you copy them from your older SketchUp installation? You should install fresh copies from the sources and never copy from an older installation. And use Install Extension from the Extension Manager and the Sketchucation Extension Store to install them correctly.

These issue you are seeing with the icons could be as simple as you haven't installed the current version of the extension or your screen scaling choice.

By the way, if you are running SketchUp on a PC, did you right click on the installer and use Run as administrator or did you just double click on it to run it?

Also, you mention that it is a new laptop. If the screen resolution is 4k (or more on some high-end laptops) then the icons will be tiny.

Sorry didn’t mean to be mysterious…. I have a 17 Inch Alienware Laptop running at 4K. The native Sketchup Icons seem to rescale correctly, its just all the plug-ins Icons that are ¼ size. I’ll try copying them to the folder location Dave mentioned and see how it goes. If that doesn’t work I will try to reinstall them again from the Extension Manager as I did originally and/or the Sketchucation Extension Store and see of that does the trick. I'm not sure if I ran things “As an Administrator” but when I reinstall everything I will make sure to do so. Thanks Dave and Juju for your input. I’ll let you and everyone else know how it goes in case someone else might run into the same problem.

Ok, Gang, Re-Verified - Icon size large option was checked. I deleted all older extensions, and moved all the newest ones to the proper User....Plugin folder where they should have been all along.
Then installed them through the Sketchup extension manager
Then I located where all the extension toolbar icons are that are coming in as too small.
As mentioned there are a 12x and a 24x png image in each reference folders
Here's what the GUESSING BEGINS? (Please let me whats wrong!!!!, probably everything!!!)

Im guessing the 12x is linked to the Sketchup small Icon choice and the 24x to the large icon check box?
As I dont want to mess with the creators code... I took a 24x icon did a (Save-As) and made a 48x icon in Photoshop.
-Because it is more "blurry" I cleaned and sharpened it than saved it into the location of the developers 12x and 24x location.
-I am guessing in the code it links to whatever the 12x image is to the small icon choices
-And if you check the large icon "box" it grabs and uses the 24x
-So since I have limited knowledge, to link the new 48x icon is out of my abilities....but
-A can do a (Save-As) of the 24x icon and save it as (24xoriginal) so the paths will ignore it,(And I can put it back if it doesn't work).
-Then rename the 48x image as 24x, so setup pathways will pick this 200% larger image.
????? How crazy is this way of thinking? If this does work, am I really screwing up things up?
Thanks, Matte
