    Waybar simple tweaks:

    I want the waybar height to be taller, the minimized font icons larger, and the text and icons to be larger. Here are the pointers, not a total explanation. After making these changes, I checked them by logging out (leaving), and “Restart Graphical Server”.

    1) Increase the height and minimized icon size in the waybar: Edit:

    ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc

    Look for these – I changed larger already

    "height": 40,
"icon-size": 36,

    2) To change the text height in Waybar for clock, connman, sound, etc, edit:

    ~/.config/waybar/style.css

    Look for right at the beginning:

    font-family: FontAwesome, sans-serif;
        font-size: 22px;

    Pretty easy. Leave and restart graphical server. Haven’t found the cool cli only way to do this. On the burner…

    3) DESKTOP Icon Fonts:
    Tied into zzzFM (kinda like how rox was tied to pinboard), we can change the desktop icon fonts easily enough:

    zzzFM > view > Preferences > Desktop > Font
