You ought to be able to open a "run command" window with ALT-F2, then just enter tderandrtray. 2. Another way is to right-click on your menu editor, look for Screen Resize & Rotate (TDERandRTray) and click the button with option to place in system tray. 3. Still another way is to left-click on your menu editor, search for Screen Resize & Rotate (TDERandRTray) then drag it to your lower panel. Not as good, but it's a start. 4. Yet one more way is to right-click on your lower panel (that's where I put mine), then look for Add Application to Panel / System / Screen Resize & Rotate (TDERandRTray) But you ought to be able to add it to your system tray. It has been a long time since I did this, so pardon my possible faulty memory. If anybody else knows better, please jump in here. Once you get your panel set how you want, lock it and leave it alone. That's why I don't want to try removing it in my own system, then trying to add it again. Whenever I mess with my lower panel, my icons and clock, etc. sometimes start to wander around. Try these steps and see what if you get it added. It's a tiny blue & white icon with diagonal arrows. Bill

Many more options are available in xrandr than in tderandrtray. This is a way to enlarge everything in your display, yes, but at the sacrifice of changing the aspect ratio. I have the same problem with old eyes, but small icons, etc., don't bother me so much; it's small letters or some programs that insist on falling back to Gnome or KDE5 color schemes and can't be changed, so that some stuff isn't easily visible to me. Since I copy my home folder back and forth between my laptop and desktop computers sometimes, I like to keep settings mostly unchanged. In an ideal world, I would keep the laptop only for travel, or for when I do research in a library, etc., and I would always work at a proper desk with my desktop computer and its large screen. When I move over to the laptop, I change visibility for each item individually, on an ad hoc basis; e.g., for browser windows by using CTRL+ and CTRL-, and enlarging my media players to double size, etc., rather than trying to enlarge everything with a single solution. One could of course go through everything in the system that affects display, and enlarge the taskbar and clock, and by changing font sizes in every program. But if, like myself, you try to keep your settings the same, so that you can use the same desktop on different machines, then you don't want to make permanent changes. It may be that there is a better way; if so, I would be glad to know of it myself. Bill
