Find your gtkrc file which should be located in the /.gimp-2.8 folder or your user folder
Open it in notepad and add this line in the file anywhere is fine.

style "user-font"
{
   font_name="comic sans ms 10"
}

Where comic sans ms is the font name and the numeral is the font size. Changing the font size to larger will auto size the window larger. You can use any font you have on your system just make sure its the correct font name. Above is the correct name for Comic Sans font type face.

If you do not like the results CLOSE GIMP, then add hash-marks (#) in front of the lines you added previously. Restart GIMP.
If you like the results but want the size bigger or smaller just close GIMP and edit the line again (without the hash-mark). Restart GIMP.

There are Gimp themes form Hi-Def screens. They also include larger icons. See http://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-GIMP-2 ... ons-Themes
