Not on a Macbook but try:

Hold down [Ctrl] and scroll the mouse wheel.

What is the screen resolution?

I assume you are running Bunsenlab linux.

From Introduction to the Bunsenlabs Lithium Desktop:

Screen settings
BunsenLabs has a Screen layout editor:

The command "arandr"
Menu -> Preferences -> Display -> ARandR Screen Layout Editor

ARandr is a visual front end for xrandr.
You can configure multiple monitors, set size, resolution and orientation.
If you want configured settings to load at start, you can save the settings as a script, to be loaded by autostart:

Thanks for the help - I set the resolution to be less in ARandR and it's much better now.

It was 2560x1600 on a 13inch screen.

Set to 1280x800 now.

I've just booted up today and the resolution has reverted back. What do I need to do to fix it at 1280x800?

I wrote earlier:

Back to Introduction to the Bunsenlabs Lithium Desktop > Screen settings:

If you want configured settings to load at start, you can save the settings as a script, to be loaded by autostart:
On menu "Layout", choose "Save As", save as screen.sh in the default folder: ~./screenlayout/.
Open file ~/.config/bunsen/autostart in your editor.
After text "### SETTINGS START", add:
$HOME/.screenlayout/screen.sh
