Where did you go wrong, Not read the manual? - Although very much work in
progress and not easy to find.

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Theme and change to a lighter version.

Under that is the icon theme. Choose a Color or Legacy. If very small adjust the
size using Custom icon size and the slider.

***Remember*** to OK everything and with Windows a restart of Gimp is often
necessary.
