Increase Icon/Text Size in Kali Linux I am running Kali Linux in a virtual box (VMWare Player), and although the resolution fits my screen properly, the icons, windows, text is so small. In example, when I use the terminal or browse using Iceweasel, the windows they appear in show small text, and everything is not proportioned properly to size. It seems that everything has shrunk in size; even the dropdown menus on the desktop, and windows that open are not properly displayed regarding size. How can I increase the size so that windows, text, desktop icons and desktop menus display properly (standard size)?

When you installed Guest Additions to your VBox Kali, there should be a bar at the bottom of your screen that shows up every time your cursor is there at the bottom (with options: File, Machine, View, Input, Devices, Help, Kali). I cannot take a screenshot of the bar but you should be able to find it.

Click on the View option, and you can choose full screen or seamless or whichever you like. But with high solution the icons will be small as you mentioned. It's okay because you can see at the bottom of the View list you have "Scale Factor", move your cursor on it and it will show different scaling such as 125% or 150%. I find 125% and 150% suit my screen the best.
