I made a new brush tonight but I couldn't find it right off, because the icons are so small, and the icons don't match the brush, except in name only. this is a bit ridiculous,

for older users.

    You using the wrong panel. In older version of PPhotoshop you want to look in the Brush Preset panel it only offered two sizes.  In CC 2018 Adobe renamed the Brush Preset panel to Brushes and added a slider,  In CC 2018 Adobe rename the Brush panel to Brush Settings Panel.  That the panels you looking are the icons sizes can not be change is Photoshop.   Its the CC 2018 Brushes Panel and prior Photoshop Brush Presets pane where sizes can be changed.

    After searching a little more I finally found someone who knew the answer.

    Go to your Brushes palette, in the drop down menu, unselect Brush Name & Brush Stroke (or whatever you want) and leave Brush Tip selected. Then you can use the slider to enlarge the thumbnails of the brush tips!

    Check the panel menu options in CC 2018 Adobe added a UI slider to the panel. In older versions  there were onle two sizes offered.
