Thanks Michael.
The CSS info is more detailed than what I had. Initially it did not
help but I noticed the cyan color appeared on the menu bar. Hence I
increased font sizes to 25 and 30 and it made a difference.
However various places still have the small fonts; e.g. dialog windows
for say, configuring an email account, etc. This will require some
fine tuning...
