The year selection for the date picker could be more prominently shown.  
It’s currently in the top left corner and users end up scrolling month by month to get to their birth year (like 400 moons/clicks to the left)  
Would be nice if it was on the same row as the Tue, Jane 31, [2023] ??  
Or leave where it is and make it larger and in bold?  
Personally i found the year option easy, but our users are all finding the 400 clicks exhausting and a negative user experience and they leave with a broken finger🤣  
(i’m thinking… there’s no substitute for brains)

Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate your suggestion and will take it into consideration when making changes to the Date Picker component. In the meantime, you can use the Date Picker to select a year by scrolling to the left or right. [Glide Docs • Date Pickers](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/components/date-pickers)

There is a CSS hack for Apps to make that bigger:

> [@Custom CSS - No, the sky is NOT about to fall in](https://community.glideapps.com/t/custom-css-no-the-sky-is-not-about-to-fall-in/44107/1):
>
> - Restyling the Date Picker
> 
> ```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;
> }
> 
> ```

Of course, that won’t work for too much longer.

Is this possible with Pages, that aren’t on biz or enterprise?

No, I wouldn’t think so.
