I am not impressed with the magnitude of the change-- it is still too small but better.

The menu bar in Safari is even worse!
Is there a way to increase that size?

Display is now perfect - just what I want.
However the Menu/Tool Bar in Safari is too small. Is there a way to change that specifically without affecting all other?


If the options above do not satisfy your needs...

This is that I did to "slightly" increase the menu bar size and make text more readable for me:


1 - in System/Appearance settings pane I turned on Dark Mode. That gives me white text against a back background.

2 - in System/Displays I set the screen resolution to one step to the left of the Default setting.



3 - in System/Accessibility/Display is enabled Reduced Motion and Increase Contrast as well as larger Menu bar size and made the pointer larger and easier to see.



4 - for Safari I use the extension Noir from the App store.


For me it's made a whole world of difference.
