IntelliJ IDEA 2026.x — Breakpoint Icon & Search (Ctrl+N) Font Size Reduced — Any Way to Revert?
Hi JetBrains Community,
After upgrading to IntelliJ IDEA 2026.x, I noticed a couple of UI changes that are affecting my workflow:
- Breakpoint size appears smaller — the breakpoint icons in the gutter seem to have been reduced in size compared to previous versions, making them harder to spot at a glance during debugging sessions.
-
Ctrl+N (Search/Navigate to Class) — font size looks smaller — when using the
Ctrl+Nshortcut to search for classes, the results list font appears smaller than before. This might be intentional, but it feels noticeably different from the previous behavior.
⚠️ Note: I want to be transparent — I'm not 100% certain whether these are intentional UI changes, a scaling/DPI issue, or something specific to my setup. Happy to be corrected if I'm missing something!
My Questions:
- Is this a known UI change in 2026.x?
- Is there a setting to restore the previous breakpoint icon size?
- Is there a way to increase the font size specifically in the Ctrl+N search popup?
- Or is there a way to roll back to the previous UI behavior for these elements?
