How to change font size for clock in top bar (GTK) [duplicate]

  • 772

I am on 19.04. If it is not possible to change the font only for the clock, I would like to change the font size for the entire top bar. I have tried changing "stage" in gnome-shell.css and also the TOP BAR section, but the font size remains the same in my bar. I have found other answers here that answer this question but those answers refer to older versions and do not refer to GTK, and so don't work.

I do not want to change the font of everything else as would happen by setting "large text" in accessibility, or using the scaling slider in tweak tool. I am curious if there is another way to do this besides creating a custom CSS override for the shell theme. I only want to enlarge the time (as I cannot see it), and if that is not possible, only the top bar.
