How do I increase the font size of the menu ? [SOLVED]

Post by simonbrown »

I've worked through everything I can find in the settings, increasing font sizes, scaling the panel etc., but nothing I can find appears to change the menu font size. I guess it is set in the theme, but I rather like the theme I have and in any case I have no idea how I could search for a theme that has a menu size change. I've tried to see if it is done by dragging the menu edges, but sadly not. So I am currently defeated, but would really like to get the menu size up a notch. Is there any way to do this ?

aha, found a way, I can use the font scaling factor and it affects the menu text. Not sure if I can live with the side effects of everything else scaling up and the window sizes no longer matching the contents, but at least there is something. Anything better ?

Use the web browser's “Find” option and type “Fonts”, so you don't have to read the entire post.
