Cinnamon Menu Text Size?

I've found plenty of information concerning re sizing the panel, but is there any way to increase the text in the menu applet?

I recently uninstalled Cinnamon but I'll try to be of help. I started looking here on how to make Cinnamon themes which should point you/me in the right direction.
If you've downloaded the theme(s) from gnome-look.org then unzip the downloaded file and dive in. Else, if you installed them from Cinnamon's GUI, I'd imagine you'll find them in /usr/share/themes /ThemeTitle.
From there, go into the theme's folder and look for a "cinnamon.css" file to open with you choice of text editor. Looks to me like you can do all the tweaking you're heart desires from there

Help menu text size

My font for the help menu is about a 4 or 5 in size.
Absolutely impossible to read without a magnifying glass ;-)
How do I get the help menu to read in the standard 10 or 12
point font that it is supposed to display in?

You must click in empty space while the help is open, hold
down CTRL key and turn
you mouse wheel button,
or
you can directly edit help CSS file responsible for the font
size :
X:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\First
Run\HelpPanel\_sharedassets
help_pc.css

Customize Spry menu text

How do i set the css code to get a smaller text size in the
spry submenus than in the main menu? i would like the submenu text
to be 2 px smaller than the text in the main menu. When i change
the submenu text size it also changes the main menu text size in
the hover state. I want the main menu size to remain constant, even
in the hover state, and only have the submenu text size appear
smaller.

Is see the date of this topic and...
Well its laughable...
A normal question unawnsered on the adobe forum.
So many tech people on this site and no one has taken a step to help...
I have also problems with Spry and also liked to get awnsers for it.
But seeing this post makes me sad...
I now have given up hope that someone will be helping me soon.
The only awnsers i got so far is "No" and links to validators that couldnt solve my problem.
Its sad...
Software that is used by possibly millions of people, and still they provide support that raises questions...
Shame on you Adobe!

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

Text size in PSE 7 Editor menues / toolbars

Hello, with my new 16.4" Laptop and 1920 x 1080 resolution I have problems in properly reading the text in PSE 7 editor menues and toolbars - they are so tiny.
Increasing Windows font size (DPI) in the Control Panel only works with "Windows-related" programmes (e. g. Windows Explorer) but it does not affect the text size in the PSE menues (it does make the 'welcome screen' which invites you to choose between Editor, Organizer etc, bigger, though, and also the drop-down menues that appear after you click on a menue item). Decreasing the resolution is not a solution, as it makes the whole display blurred...
Is there a solution at all? I'm using Windows 7, if that's relevant...

hi , well to increase the font size ,just go to properties and then on settings.
From there you can go to screen resolution and increase or decrease as per your wish.It worked on my system ,so try it out.

Can I change the default text sizes in the Character Menu?

At my last job I used a program called Creator to create the projects for which I now use InDesign. In Creator there was a section in the Preferences that allowed you to specify what font sizes were in the drop down menu, but I don't see such a setting in InDesign. Its not a huge deal, but its nice to have, say 20pt in your drop down menu as a type size if you use that particular size a lot, as opposed to typing it in every time. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thanks!!

Thanks Bob, I didn't think of that, I suppose that would work. Basically I would just like to have more text sizes to choose from in the drop down menu, I guess its more an issue of laziness on my part than anything else. I could make a character style for it, but then I'd probably have 10 different character styles just to change the size of my text when it would be less hassle just to type in the size I need. I was just looking for a quick fix default option that I was used to having at my old job.

Can anyone tell me how to increase the text size in my menu bar and drop down menus?

Just bought a new 27" screen iMac. The menu bar and drop down menu text is much to small for me to see without leaning close to the screen. Does anyone know how to customize the text to a larger size. This is an issue for any program I open.

Once upon a time Apple displays packed in 72 dots to an inch (making their resolution 72 DPI). That meant that what we saw on screen at 100% scale was exactly what was printed on a printer - not to mention quite comfortable to read. However that advantage was eclipsed by the fact that photopgraphs and video were pixelated and the only solution to that was to increase the resolution - to pack in more dots per inch - which has the side effect of shrinking the size of text. Where I once used Word at 100% scale I now find it most comfortable at 150% scale.
There are several solutions. One, as Lex gave you, was to reduce the resolution of the LCD display. But unlike CRT displays, an LCD is tuned to a specific resolution and when you change it the results tend to be blurry. Another is to keep the resolution as it is and to adjust each program (if the program allows it). This makes Word usable and your browser can be set to use no font smaller than a size you set (which has some unpleasant side affects at some Web sites), but some programs and some parts of programs cannot be changed. The menubar and menus are among them. The third solution is one that Apple promised several years ago but has not yet provided - a resolution independant GUI. We can only hope that comes soon. And there's another partial solution - look in System Preferences under Accessibility.

You can use some extensions to achieve this.
* Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

Why is UI text-size tiny in InDesign CC 2014?

I just upgraded to InDesign 2014 version 10.0.0.70 x64, and the UI text is tiny. The menu text (i.e. when you click on "Edit" the options "undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, etc.") is normal size, but the tools panels and everything else is tiny.
My Windows (7) text-size is already set to 150%.
Any suggestions?

Seriously the only thing left is a bigger monitor. I'm up to 30" now because every time I nee to reaplce one they raise the darn monitor resolutions so I can't use the small ones comfortably anymore.
I feel your pain.

How to deal with tiny text size on the display, especially in email?

I got a Macbook a week ago. I have been using a Windows laptop for about 5 years. Before that I had a couple of Mac desktops.
All in all I am very happy with the Macbook. I haven't had any of the problems which have come up in these forums, unexpected shutdown, bad DVD drives, etc. One thing I love about mine which I had not seen mentioned before I got it is that the Macbook (or mine anyway) is absolutely whisper quiet. I cannot hear the hard drive doing anything. My Dell laptop sounds like a construction site in comparison.
The main issue that is vexing me has to do with the high-res, small-size display. The combination of those two factors means that the text size onscreen is often so small that even with reading glasses I have serious eyestrain.
Back on my Dell this was a lot easier to deal with. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, there are very simple settings in the menus to make text sizes better. And this is really important -- those text sizes are remembered after you close and restart the program.
So far as I can tell, that is not true (in general) on the Mac. I find this shocking, since Apple makes such a big deal about the simplicity and usability of the Mac.
Specifically, in Safari I went into preferences and reset the fonts. A little more complicated than in Internet Explorer but it basically works alright.
With Apple Mail, though, it is really troublesome. There is no remember-able setting to increase the text size for viewing (that I can find). And the on-screen size of 12 point text in an incoming email in Apple Mail is just absurdly small. It makes me wonder if Apple is taking bribes from the American Opthalmology Association. This is going to ruin my eyesite pronto.
Of course I can hit Command-+ several times when viewing each email to increase the text size to a readable size. But what a pain.
Is there a way to make those settings rememberable?
Otherwise I like Apple Mail. But I really prefer not to have to hit 6 keystrokes when looking at each email just to get it to a reasonable size.
I looked at the help files for Mozilla Thunderbird. They seem to indicate that program works the same way.
How about Eudora? Any others? Any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

Hi Jeff, thanks for your careful attention and your comment.
But I have to point out you've missed what I'm talking about.
In OE, in the View menu (right on the menu bar, not under Tools>Options) there is a setting called "Text Size" which allows you to set the text size for viewing and composing (independent of sending). That makes it very easy to make the text easier to read on small screens. It does not "change the appearance of the formatted text so that it no longer corresponds to the intent of the sender". It merely makes the text bigger or smaller, like a magnifying glass.
Via email I had some back and forth today with another poster here discussing this. You might be interested to see the email he sent me in which he included both Helvetica 12 and Helvetica 14. I took a screenshot of the email he sent me (from Apple Mail). When I read this email in Apple Mail with the "Message Font" set to Arial 18 (which is the size I need it set at for readability), Helvetica 14 is displayed at a smaller size than Helvetica 12.
screenshot here: http://www.pbase.com/paulduke/image/64910338/original
That's weird.
Here's a test I did, and this is what really matters to me.
I sent two emails from Windows/Outlook Express. For one I set the default composing font to Arial 12. For the other I set the default composing font to Arial 18.
When I downloaded and read these emails in Apple Mail, sure enough, the Arial 18 font appears much bigger than the font in the Arial 12 mail.
Then I did the reverse. I set the "Message Font" in Apple Mail prefs to Arial 12. Sent an email.
Then I changed the "Message Font" to Arial 18 in prefs and sent another email.
Then I downloaded both these emails into Outlook Express.
On OE, font size is displayed exactly the same in both emails.
So that's good -- I know that Apple Mail, whatever the setting in "Message Font", is sending some sort of "standard" font size. (By the way, I have Apple Mail set to send Rich Text Format mail). My correspondent tells me that Apple Mail doesn't send "true" HTML mail, and Outlook Express does, so perhaps that explains this.
Okay, no big deal. But if I were a graphic designer and I wanted to know for sure that my carefully crafted email styles were getting through, I might be going bonkers because of this.
But I'm not a graphic designer, and for the moment my concerns are assuaged.
And I accept the wisdom of your advice to "go native". I'm trying, I'm trying...

I used to have a +.- displayed in upper left corner to click and change text size. My sister used my computer and now I can no longer find this feature.

Do you still have all toolbars visible (View > Toolbars)?
Did you use an extension or the standard zoom buttons that you can find in the toolbar palette in the View > Toolbars > Customize window ?
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

How do I increase the menu font size for Bible Fox?

I know how to increase page text size etc, but using (brown) Bible Fox theme, I can't increase the menu font size. Is there a way to do this?

You can try to increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best. 
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

IWork '09 Change Document default text size

New to iWork. Is there a way to change the default text size in iWork '09 without doing the highlighting thing? I want all text in all documents to be the same size & type.
Thanks
John

You will need to create and save your own template, set to whatever you want.
The default style is Body :
+Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
+Select some text > style it as you wish > Styles Drawer > click on the red triangle next to Body > Redefine style from selection+
Save as Template and set that to open by default in Pages' Preferences.
