That did it, thanks. I think I previously tried changing the layer CRS, then the project.

Note that we are not touching the CRS for the layer. I get a radically different projection than WGS 84 (EPSG:4326).

Something like Mollweide or Robinson is more what I am seeking. I downloaded the Natural Earth administrative borders map (WGS84) and opened it in QGIS 3.20 as the only layer in a new project. So far, so good. Then I changed the CRS (layer and project) to Mollweide (ESRI:54009) and the on-screen render changed hardly at all. It didn't remain unchanged, but it still looks very much more like WGS84 than Mollweide. The same happens if I try to re-project to Robinson (ESRI:54030) or Winkel-Tripel (ESRI:54042). So far as I can tell, I have followed all the steps outlined in the online manual but there must be something obvious that I am missing. Can someone set me straight?
