Font Size of MacBook Pro

Dec 27, 2010 7:52AM PST

Hi!

After I open and maximize a window (e.g., the "Finder"), is there a way to enlarge the font size of the menu and/or the folder names?

Thank you.

Dr. T.

The folder names

The folder names has been covered, but there is no official method for increasing the font size of the menu bar. I, and probably many others, consider this to be a large oversight on Apple's part, but apparently Apple feels differently or they would have added this feature years ago. Any program that claims to alter this part of the UI, will likely have several undesirable side effects down the road, so I would avoid them.
