Your screenshots don't show, but more than likely it's the difference between the screen resolutions of the two iMacs.

The older iMac had a lower screen resolution than the newer iMac, so everything is larger on screen.

 

You can play around with the different settings under System>Settings>Displays to get larger items on your screen.

When I pay for an update on software I expect improvements not the very
opposite.
Perhaps I should alert the readers of British photography magazines about
this problem.

Can you post the screenshots?

 

Are these from the same Mac?

Same screen resolution?

 

What macOS are you using

Elements 2019 was running on my old i[image: Elements 2019.png]

Mac with OS Catalina
Elements 2023 is running on my new iMac OS Ventura 13.4.1

My old Mac purchased ten years ago wouldn't run Elements 2023.

You can increase the font size in some of the fields in File Info by right clicking inside the field and selecting Fonts>Show Fonts, but it's only temporary it seems, since closing and reopening the file info returns the font size to the default, whatever size that might be.

Thanks for your input, Jeff, but it doesn't solve my problem. I have two
screen grabs of the info boxes 2019 and 2023. Placed together on the
screen, It's like night and day. I now have to peer at the screen to get
any work done. If I can't enlarge the complete info box I'm in for a stiff
neck.
