Hello,
I just set up a new IMAC 27" for my mom and she cannot read the menu bars and tabs in Safari. I know how to make the text of the webpage itself bigger, but is there any way to make the text in the menu bars and tabs bigger. Someone sugggested Opera browser. Would that be a better option?
Thanks

Welcome!
I had the same issue with my 27-inch--here's how I fixed it:
1) Go to System Preferences > Displays and select the "Displays" tab
2) For "Resolution" there are two buttons: "Best for Display" and "Scaled." Select "Scaled."
3) Now you should see a list of resolutions. The default is probably 2560x1440. Change it to 1920x1080.
I don't have great eyes but this setting makes it easy for me to see. It makes all menu bars including Safari about 3/10ths inch wide and the menu lettering close to 1/4-inch tall.
One other question. I like to make the text size of the page itself bigger as well. However, when I close Safari and re-start it, the text size returns to normal. Can I make Safari leave the text size alone where I left it?
Thank you!!!
