I have used the following code to make the 2022 bigger

```auto
<pre><span><style>
/* Month */
.MuiPickersSlideTransition-transitionContainer > * {
  font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

/* Year & Day */
.MuiPickersToolbarText-toolbarTxt {
  font-size: 2.125rem;
  font-family: "Roboto", "Helvetica", "Arial", 
  sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
  line-height: 1.235;
  letter-spacing: 0.00735em;
}

/* Day only */
.MuiTypography-h4 {
  font-size: 1.8rem !important;
}

```

But I’m still getting reports from users that they don’t understand how to switch years. It it possible to make a small text beside 2022 saying “click here”?  
Or do you have any other suggestions?

This has been a common request since the date picker got a face lift over a year ago. @tristan ?

True, that’s why i use text field, and use template (text to date). People dont want loose 1min to understand this. Imagine use this pickdate for birthdate !
