Is it possible to enlarge the font or window size of the Interface itself? I can see how to increase the font size of the windows I’m typing into, but I cannot find how to make it easier to see the navigable parts of Scrivener, i.e. the Project Window, including the Toolbar, Binder, Format Bar, Editors, and Inspector. I’m trying to learn the ropes of Scrivener. Having to lean forward and squint is giving me a distracting crick in the neck.
You can change some of the font sizes, but some are provided by MacOS, so can only be changed on a system level (by changing your screen resolution).
For example, you can change the text size in the Binder, the Outliner, Corkboard, Synopsis and Notes, but not the size of the buttons in the Format Bar.
Your best bet is to go to Settings > Appearance and work your way through the items on the list in the left, where most of the settings can be found – there’s usually a ‘Fonts’ tab if that element is sizeable.
E.g. for the Binder:

Useful! A complete and easily implemented solution. Thank you also for answering my very first L&L Forum question so quickly.

You are very welcome!
I hope you enjoy using Scrivener. BTW: if you haven’t already done so, may I suggest you spend an hour or two looking through the tutorial (on the Help menu) – it really is the single most useful thing you can do to understand what makes Scrivener tick early on and will clear up some issues that new users commonly have.
Best wishes…
