icons in eclipse based programs & kicad are huge (I think)

Hello,

so I recently started using arch again and decided to not go with a full DE setup instead I opted for a DWM config to try it out.
I am enjoying it very much but, I have a little annoying problem. The icons (mostly in eclipse based programs and kicad) look huge. I remember them being a lot smaller when I used to use gnome.
Is there a way to reduce the size of these icons?

Thanks in advace!

What is eclipsed?  Kicad seems to use GTK2:

You can try to start eclipse with:
# !/bin/bash
/usr/bin/eclipse --launcher.GTK_version 2 "$@"

That's what I needed for it to look okay some years ago… now it seems to be not necessary anymore.
Btw, this week the next eclipse version will be released.

Is this about eclipse the IDE or "eclipse(d) base programs"?
