public bool ScaleIcons { get; set; }

<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Property ScaleIcons As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true if bar item icons are scaled to match the current DPI settings; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Increasing the DPI of your monitor alters the apparent size of screen items. Use the ScaleIcons property to specify whether bar item icons should match the DPI settings of the user’s monitor. If this property is set to true, the bar item icons are scaled up if the DPI is increased and vice versa. Otherwise, the icons will remain a constant size in terms of pixels.

You can use the Boolean BarManagerProperties.LargeIcons property to double the display size of bar icons. This property works regardless of the current display resolution.

Alternatively, to provide a more comfortable method of icon representation, you can use bar items that can display large images (BarLargeButtonItem).
