Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

The only way to increase the size of the onscreen text in the Finder Menu Bar and in the Side bar in Finder Windows is to change the screen resolution in the OS X Preferences Pane under the Displays icon.

What Mac and screen size are you using?

Screen resolution is 1680 X 1050 - iMac 20 Inch 2007

Does everything onscreen look small to you?
