I know you can right click on desktop icons and resize them but I am not sure about on the menus. Do you mean the upper and lower task bar icons? You can change the height of those and the icons will grow proportionately.

Depending on what you mean you can right click on a panel and click properties then change the height of the panel. The icons will grow to match.

That was what I said but I typed in "to" instead of "the" in my comment.

Great! you just answered my first question.
Now, how about to give an answer for second question?
- What theme do you use in ubuntu?
- Is it "Human" or something else?

and by the way your English is just fine as much as mine, so don't feel to be sorry for that.

Sorry for that... my bad.

Well, i'm not using the human theme. i made a mix with a lot of other themes.

Controls = Dust
Window borders = MythUbuntu
Icons = Mac4Lin_Icons_V0.4
Cursors = DMZ Black

Some of these themes came with the script "Ubuntu Perfeito"

Check if you have on this path the "Dust theme"
- usr/share/themes/Dust/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Open termianl and type
- sudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Dust/gtk-2.0/gtkrc2
- type your password
- In line 12, you should find the option: "gtk-icon-sizes = panel-menu=24,24"
- Change it to: gtk-icon-sizes = panel-menu=14,14

Save & exit.
