Question

Menu bar fonts are too small

All I want is to increase the font size of items in the menu bar.

 

NOT ALL TEXT.

JUST THE MENU BAR.

The one at the top of the page. They are things like FILE, EDIT, HELP, etc.

I do NOT need to know how to enlarge type on the screen. I can do that. I simply cannot see the menu bar well even with glasses.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks.

It's sad that it's almost 2025 and this is still occurring. I should not have to set my 4k secondary monitor to the primary monitor to resolve this issue.

I also have the same issue using Photoshop.  I shouldn't have to make the cumbersome change in Windows software in order to solve the problem.  After using Photoshop, I have to go back and reset the software.  What is wrong with Adobe that they can't fix this, especially for an app that is so widely used, and so expensive???  I'm very dissappointed with this.  Is anyone aware of a different app that would be a suitable substitute for Photoshop?

Same problem - micro menus on laptop. Here's how I fixed it. In Lightroom, Edit : Preferences : Text Size : 300%, shut lightroom and reopen.

Same issue.  It's Ok with FHD screen but way too small and not scaling on 4K monitor.
Other app like office does scale the text set to display setup but not just Adobe apps.   It is very annoying.  It's not OS, just app deos not horner the scaling setup like others.

I don't believe those can be controlled by anything within the Lightroom program. Those are standard menus governed by the operating system you are using, and would be controlled by your operating system.

My operating system is fine. I can see all my menus just fine. LR and PS are way too small, way too hard to select and the fact that nobody can explain exactly how to change this on the only program that is a problem speaks poorly of Adobe. This is beyond stupid and Adobe needs to address this. Thanks for your help, though.
