Adjust the preferred size
Under Text, click Text size. Move the slider right until the text is comfortable to read.
This changes supported apps and areas using the preferred reading size, rather than every piece of text on your Mac.
STEP 6
Check the app you use
Look at the apps listed below the slider. Choose an individual size if you want one app to differ.
An app’s own text setting can affect the result. Check the actual app after changing the size.

Your menus may look different after an update. Look for the same control name and take your time.
