Google-chrome – Enlarge Bookmark Bar Icons in Chrome

accessibilitybookmarksgoogle-chromeicons

I would like to increase the size of the icons in Chrome's bookmark bar. Zooming in the page content does not affect the size of the icons. The answers to the most related question are all out of date: How to make the bookmark bar of Google Chrome bigger?

I see two possible routes:

  1. Modify the entire GUI size, while maintaining resolution. I cannot find any chrome setting or extension to do so.
  2. Modify the size of the icons on the bookmark bar. I cannot find any
    chrome setting or extension to do so.

I use both MacOS and Ubuntu 16.04. I would like to apply the setting in a cross-platform manner, if possible, but any per-platform solutions are also welcome.

I've looked all over the place (mostly) and could not find anything in the way you are wanting it done. All I can say is go to chrome://settings/display, and change the display size of the internal screen.

It should work on your device, however, I would not know since I do not use MacOS or Ubuntu and I do not have experience using said operating systems.

Google does have a G Suite Developer Hub (script.google.com), which allows the user to code/create Chrome Add-ons. Maybe you can just create an add-on if all else fails.

Edited 102319: I have found a Chrome Extension that MIGHT work (I can not currently check right now due to me using a Chromebook right now)
