[SOLVED] Whisker: how to enlarge the icons in the title area?

After switching to a HiDPI display I was relatively successful in enlarging everthing, including a CSS hack to increase the font size in Whisker.
What's left are the three icons in the top right for settings/lock screen/logout.
How can I increase their size?

What version of Xfce are you using?

Settings Manager > Display may have a scale factor that you can adjust that will scale all elements simultaneously. But to increase the size of the elements, you need to select "Custom" and enter a less than 1.0 value.

I'm on Mint with XFCE 4.16.0 with a 2.5K screen.

I was able to get everything right by changing the font DPI value to 128, switching to the Default-HiDPI theme, increasing the icons sizes and adding

#whiskermenu-window {  font-size: 120%; }

to gtk.css.
The only thing that's left are the three Whisker icons shown below:

#whiskermenu-window .title-area button image { -gtk-icon-transform: scale(1.33); }

...did the trick.
A tad blurry, but there are no larger icons that could be swapped out via CSS, right?

No. Using -gtk-icon-transform to enlarge an icon always blurs the image.

Did you try the display scale factor as an alternative?
