Toolbar size too small

Our company use IBM i for our production reporting environment. We create custom toolbars with macros that allow them to perform multiple functions. However on the new java verison (1.1.6.0) there is no option to increase the toolbar size along with the picture. On the older versions you were able to customize the toolbar size to allow the toolbar to be bigger so users have an easier time seeing the macro name and also the macro picture so they don't hit the wrong button and send the wrong command. This version the icon size only goes up to 18x18. We would like the icons to be adjustable all the way to 72x72 like the previous versions had.


Use Case:

This gives users an easier time and less likely to hit the wrong button which would affect our system if the toolbar was bigger, especially since English is not every employees first language and the pictures also help tell them what the function of the macro button does.
