how to increase the status bar font size

I need to wear reading glasses, and sometimes it is difficult for me to read a window's status bar. I need to increase its font size, but none of the options in the Preference pane seems to help. I need to do this for all applications.


Does anybody know whether this font size can be increased?


Thank you!

You might look at System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom. Once you enable Use keyboard shortcuts, you can toggle your zoom between normal and a predefined zoom factor in the More Options... panel.


Just the default zoom may be good enough for you.


The key combination option+command+8 zooms you in, and option+command+8 restores normal view.
