I use a small notebook so it comes in handy to double the title bar to have space to increase the title font to 16 or 18

On debian 12.11 this was the case, but I don't remember how I configured it or what style I used. The style I now use on debian 13 is adwaita

Adwata so I'm assuming gnome I tend to use the open bar extension for customisation

I don't get it then. I installed debian 13 with xfce and now I'm using gnome??

No you ommited any kind of detail in your original post so we all had to guess to try and help. You're still using xfce if that's what you chose on installation. Pro tip install fastfetch open a terminal and write fastfetch and post the results under your future posts it'll give us a report of your system.

Which DE are you using? At least for XFCE, there’s HDPI and XHDPI themes you can choose in the Window Manager settings.

xfce, and thanks! it worked!

[-] data1701d@startrek.website 1 points 12 hours ago

Good! I just remembered that from the days I used to use Debian on a Microsoft Surface.

What the hell are you talking about?

Do you mean with "appearance style" the desktop environment? Or the theme of a specific DE?

if its kde you can just right click on the taskbar, edit and then type in the desired width.

What desktop environment are you using?

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Settings->Accessibility->Large Text ON

It will increase all text size including title bar text.

I'm on xfce and didn't find that option. All I see is assistive technologies, keyboard and mouse. Is that for gnome?

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 12 hours ago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
