Re: Small icons and menu text
You can find the solution at the FAQ site:

Texts in the furniture catalog are not displayed correctly or icons in the toolbar appear very small on my computer. How can I fix that?
You probably use a recent computer with a HiDPI or high resolution screen, under Windows or Linux. If you run Sweet Home 3D with Java Web Start, using the HiDPI Java Web Start version should fix this issue. If you use the installer version under Windows, update to version 6.0 which fixes this issue. For older versions, create a text file named SweetHome3D.l4j.ini in the same folder as SweetHome3D.exe, copy/paste the following Java options in that file, and restart Sweet Home 3D (you may also download SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file and move it in SweetHome3D.exe folder):

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2.5
-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
-Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-11
-Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=SansSerif-11
-Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=SansSerif-11

Under Linux, edit SweetHome3D script and add the previous options before -classpath Java option without line returns.
