How to change Mac "System Settings Preferences" back to grid view

Since Ventura update the system preference view has changed to list - which I HATE, it takes up too much screen space! I have VISION PROBLEMS and the other way worked much better. How do I change it back to grid view (simple & cleaner)? They took away the customize feature. Is there a work around? I didn't complain when they took away the flip through gallery (which I preferred) but now I can't customize my Mac to suit my needs? Come on man.

" System Setting " has changed to fall more in-line with iOS for iDevices.

All the features that existed in System Preferences >> Monterey and older are still there, just more like in iOS

As for Changing it Back >> Not possible.

I am sorry to report

The best I can think of your User Requirements would to explore the options presented in below image of Display of Accessibly Category in System Setting

Product Feedback - Apple and make it known to Apple regarding this ongoing issue

I just notice there's no grid option for photos anymore either. I was hoping to clean up all the similars & duplicates.

Thanks for the response. Accessibility display contrast helped some but my neck doesn't like looking up & down at the long menu either - it takes up so much space.

And thanks for the product feedback link.

Well from one with not the same issue, but sight in only one eye, sporting accident at age 6, I appreciate the needs.

Pleased the Contrast feature helped some
