Unable to read text in blue task bar. How to make it larger?

Blue icons at top of Turbotax screen are too small. How can I increase their size and make them legible?

Unfortunately, there is no way to increase the size of the icons or the text in the blue icon bar. But, all of the features in the icon bar are accessible from the top grey menu, and most of them have keyboard shortcuts. Ex:

CTRL+F = Find (Forms Icon)

Shift+F4 or Shift+Fn+F4 = Dependants

It does not help. When you're doing 50 or more returns per day, you can't afford additional keystrokes.

I recently upgraded to a UHD (4K) monitor. The blue task bar and bottom bar icons are very small. Thank goodness you provided a text size adjustment for the main window. I am disappointed this "can't" be fixed.

@user17675750277 A work around is to change your monitor's resolution, at least while you are using TurboTax. You can change it back when you are done using the program.
