Question

How to make the MENU bar and TOOLS bar larger?

I have a terrible time seeing both the Menu and Toolbar in Photoshop.  I've edited the Interface in Preferences to Large and UI scale however, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.  Is there any way to make it larger?

Thanks

      Hi!

      What is the resolution of your monitor? Can you change it to make the interface larger?

      Aside from Changing the screen resolution, I can't think of any way to do that

      Hey @tonymuffin, 

       

      Going to Setting > Interface > Presentation should help, but it doesn't look like it makes a huge change. Have you tried making changes within your OS settings? That seems to help make the icons bigger on a Mac. Let me know if this helps/

        I used this tip, but it really doesn't make a difference. tiny was not that much smaller than the default face.  and Huge wasn't that much bigger.  The only thing that made a difference was changing the resolution of my screen and that really isn't a solution to me.   

        It would be nice to be able to see what the font faces look like without having to select them.  I can see them when I select them just can't see them in the dropdown menu.
