How do you make the toolbar larger, mac desktop?

Can anyone tell me how to make my toolbar, at the top of the display, larger? it is very tiny. I'm visually impaired. there doesn't seem to be any accessability program on the mac. I'm used to a full accessability program on windows can anyone help me reprogram the display. meaning specifically the font. we did it before on our ancient mac.. thanks for your help.

You would have to lower the display resolution to increase the size of the screen menubar. Some system fonts can be changed using TinkerTool. Other tools you can use are found in the Accessibility preferences.

  • HT1150 My question on printing is how do you make the print larger than it actually is on paper or is that possible?  I know you can enlarge print on the screen, that is easy, but once it prints it's always to small.  How can I make it bigger or is that p

    my question is on printing.  i know that you can make the print larger on the screen by adjusting it, but then when it comes out on paper it's just as small again.  how do I set my actual printer or my iMac to print the actual paper print larger? 

    Hello, it depends what App & Document type, some say PDFs have the font stuck at a certain sise, but say in Text Edit, open a document, Highlight some text the CMD+a to Select All, then type CMD+t to get the Font/Text size menu, select a bigger size.

    Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
    However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

    we have recently upgraded to windows 7, how do i make the toolbars and panel pane larger. They are too small to view

    A larger monito is only helpful if the resolution is the same as your current monitor, and they tend to have higher resolutions as you get larger, so don't rush out an buy a larger monitor and expect miracles. If you have a 22" now and it's "HD" (1920 x 1080), you'll see some change as you go up in size, but you'd probably need at least a 27" screen at 1920 x 1080 to notice a real difference.
    Right click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution and you can see the current settings (probably the maximum value which is recommended) and other settings you can use. Lowering the resolution will make everything on the screen larger, but less stuff will fit. Used to be, too that ID did not work will at less than the maximum resolution setting for any monitor.
    I did not mean to use the larger fonts feature, by the way, as far as I know that doesn't affect the ID user interface.
    The point I was making, rather badly, is that those of us with declining eyesight are getting shafted because there is no way to make use of all the monitor potential and adjut the user interface to make things visible. I just bought a 30" monitor to replace my old 27" which had 1920 x 1200 resolution and was pretty usable, things were about the same size as my old sony 20" running at 1600 x 1200, but even though it is larger in terms of screen size, the new monitor is even higher resolution and things are actually smaller. The only reason I can use it with ID is I know where everything is.

  • How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

    How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
    Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
    This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

    Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
    I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
    Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

  • In windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"? I used to be able to make it narrower.

    Windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"?

    Is the problem with the Bookmarks Sidebar -- the one you can open and close by pressing Ctrl+b? It does seem to have a minimum width and won't get narrower than that, but I'm not sure whether you are running into that limitation or whether for some reason you are not getting the resizing arrow when you mouse over the thin border between the sidebar and the page.

    only way is to restore the phone as new.  OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

    It is listed under the advanced options for the WiFi settings or About Phone > Status within the phone's settings
    Motorolas list them under About Phone > Status.
    Edit:  Oh, snap!  It is listed in both places.     Nevermind!  Please excuse!

  • HT4111 how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

    how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

    I know this question is old but I just found out the real answer. After you turn on the little switch on the left side of the HIPPIH AppsKey Keyboard and the blue light blinks, I want you to look just above it.   Do you see that hole right above the word PAIRING?  Go grab a paper clip and press down in to the hole for about 2 seconds.   This sends a signal to the ipad and in the BLUETOOTH menu you should see "Keyboard" under DEVICES. Click on it and dialogue box will pop up asking you to put in a passcode for the keyboard.
    It took me way too long to figure this out.
    Stupid recessed button.
