The layout is too small to read. I use the magnify button to zoom in on things but that's not what I'm talking about. I want to enlarge the entire Thunderbird layout. Even the name on the folder tab is too small.

I am using a Dell XPS 8700 with windows 8.1

Thanks

Try the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ add-on for the thread pane, message view etc.

For message content you need to set display|formattimg options.

This is what I added to a userChrome.css file to change the size and type of font in the interface: 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/* Do not remove top line.  It is needed.*/
textbox,tab,window,wizard,page,dialog,prefwindow,statusbar,toolbar {
   font-size: 15px !important;
   font-family: Trebuchet MS !important;
}

#acctCentralHeaderRow {
  font-weight: bold !important;
  font-size: 180% !important;}
.acctCentralTitleRow {
  font-weight: bold !important;
  font-size: 160% !important;}
.acctCentralLinkText {
   font-size: 140% !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
}
