Since I loaded Finale 25, my icons - like rests, notes, etc. are very tiny. I am using a 4K screen. Maybe that is the problem. But all my other programs work great.

So how do I make these tiny icons larger???

I suppose that you mean Finale’s tool icons, right?

Take a look at
Preferences - Palettes and Backgrounds

Is there an option for Large Tool Icons ?

Yes and when I click it, it makes no difference whatsoever. Yet they are all the tool paletted (like notes, rests, slurs, etc.)

Disclaimer:

I do not have Finale v25 (yet).

You may have found a bug in Finale v25.
I suggest that you contact the folks in Tech Support.

After you click for larger icons, do you close and reopen the program?

Yes - but no change it icon size at all. Is it because it is a 4K computer screen?

I would certainly consider that as a possibility.

Have you asked tech support about that?

The higher the definition of the screen, the smaller the palettes, I have noticed. Also the menu items get very small on my 27" 2560 x 1440 screen.
There should also be a choice of sizes for menu items in MacOs & Windows...(P.S.: your profile is empty, please fill it in).

If I am in MS Word, Adobe DC or another program, the icon sizes are just fine.
I think the large icon size clicking does not work. I will fill in my profile over the next week. THANKS.
