Davide, either icons are too small or they are too big across the dektop.
I tend to use larger than default icons on my toolbar, at least on screens 
with a large enough resolution (which I define as anything at or above 
1280x960). There is a place where this choice can be made globally, and 
that is in the the control panel icon "advanced" tab.

It could be useful to increas icon sizes globally, if the screen i slarge 
enough. That could be an additional task for the initial configuration 
wizard.
