Hello,
Recently i have updated my Macbook Pro "15 to MacOS Big Sur. I just noticed icon size in the menu bar is so small as compare to recent MacOS Catalina.
I use glasses while using my 15 inch Macbook but these icons looks very small to me.
Is there any way to increase the size of menu bar icons?
Thank you
This is it! Thank you!
I did this and it seemed to make no difference to the icon and font size in the menu bar but enlarged everything else on the screen. Not vey useful. I just put it back the way it was.
.
Apple - Let ME chose the icon size in the menu bar. The icons are much too small - and no, not the font size for all the text, but the icon size in the menu bar. This is sooo frustrating.
Instead they decided to make the Finder Toolbar height to cover HALF THE SCREEN basically. Good effin job!
I want to make my menu and icons much larger on my top menu?
It's a bummer you cannot change the menu words and icons separately. But I'll take it for now, changing the Display size for all. Hopefully one day Apple will give users the options to increase and decrease items separately.

Provide your Feedback:
Do your Part: Inform Apple of your feedback of this issue. Include how you’ve troubleshot this, and your results. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive from its users, the more likely they will know what needs to be fixed, and what their customers prefer in updates, and future macOS versions to come.
After reading many replies i realise there is no Official way to increase the icons size in menu bar. I guess we have to wait for upcoming updates.
Apple should've test this on all larger screen. Not everyone uses a 13 inch Macbook.
If you're following up this question, i request you all to let Apple know how annoying it is to navigate on larger screen.

I found that adjusting the contrast helped, but the font size did not change. I’d also add that I think the new Mail interface is just plain ugly, insufficiently hierarchical graphically, and less user-friendly. Many of us buy Macs because we appreciate good design. This is terrible design.
Yes, I agree, switching to Larger has no effect.
Best thing to try is go to System Preferences>Accessibility>Display and increase menu size to larger. You need to sign out (much like Windows), but the font and menu icons do increase slightly.
Thanks Gordon, I'll give it a go.
