Icon and Title on the properties window
Hello. I'm new to Blender and I'm learning it steadily, but there is something I would like bring to your attention. My eyesight isn't as great as it used to be, and so the icons in the properties Section are not very helpful to me. I would prefer to use text or icon and text like you can on the Tools Panel. It really helps me as both a new user and someone with eyesight that's not so good to be able to see the icon AND the name. You get the double arrows if you hover over the margin, but it doesn't allow you to stretch it out and see the name like you can with the tools and that's very frustrating.

Agreeed. But I expect the devs will complain about some technical issue preventing them from making that area expandable to show names.
Most of the UI can be scaled up significantly to be easier to see but not that section for some reason. Perhaps it is possible for the devs to add scaling in that area without too much trouble.
What I did before I memorized the location/purpose of each tab was to make a new Workspace with all of them visible and keep that open on another monitor.
It still has problems. Modifiers and Materials tab disappear if you don't have a mesh object selected. Light tab disappears if you don't have a light selected, etc. So for those cases I'd make another workspace and use the pin icon to keep the properties editor locked to a particular tab of a particular object.
* @thinsoldier * I figured I wasn't the only person with that problem so it was worth mentioning. It did throw me for a loop because you do get the double arror like you can resize it, but it didn't stretch out at all.
