CS6 display is too small

I just purchased a new windows PC with resolution 3200x1800 and the display of all my CS6 production software are really small and hardly viewable. There is no option on the PC to adjust programs size, only display text and icons on the desktop. Can anyone help?

There is no option. CS6 does not support High-DPI displays on Windows and even on Macs, Retina support was/ is limited to Photoshop and Illustrator. You can only forcibly reduce the overall screen resolution at the cost of things losing sharpness.

Cs6 user interface too small to use

I have just bought a new laptop with a high resolution screen - 2560x1440 - and like many others, I'm finding that the user interface for my cs6 software is too small to use.
I have just found the following advice for HiDPI devices on Adobe Illustrator Help:
For displays with resolution greater than or equal to 2560*1440, Illustrator can be launched at 1.5 times or 2 times scaled-up UI, depending on the OS text size.
I'm not very computer savvy, and I don't know how to do that - can anybody help please?

This only applies to Mac, not Windows.

Mail Composed, and incoming messages displayed Font too small.

Most emails I receive and my outgoing composed messages use a font size around 12 point. People who receive my emails see a normal size, but while I am composing or reading incoming messages the font displayed is too small and difficult to read.
When I use other applications where I also use or view a 12 point font, and have the viewing magnification set to 100%, the displayed font is just fine. I think this is due to my screen resolution which is set to 1280x800 on my 13" MacBook.
When I change my screen resolution to 1024x768, the mail displayed 12 point font becomes readable, and in other applications the 12 point font at 100% magnification is the same as when I was using the 1280x800 screen resolution.
I have tried entering Command-Plus to magnify the displayed mail message, it actually increases the font size in the message rather than magnifying the message and keeping the font the same.
Is there another way I can magnify just the displayed message without magnifying the whole desktop/screen?
Thanks in Advance.

Yes, setting the monitor to the default resolution, it does look fine. But for applications like Word, Pages, Preview and many other when you set the display zoom magnification to 100.00 regardless of the screen resolution the text seems normal, but in Mail, there is no screen zoom magnification, and so the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the text in composed and received messages is.

CS6 Toolbars & Menu Too Small

I have just got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and a 3200x1800 screen resolution. When I installed CS6, all the toolbars and menus are too small to even use. I have looked through these forums and, surprisingly, it seems like a common issue that has been going on for years. I've seen posts by Adobe employees that the problems would have been fixed by last year yet my interface is still too small to work.
What do I have to do to make Illustrator and Photoshop have icons large enough so that I can use them. There has to be a setting.

You sign up for Creative Cloud. CS6 never supported high-DPI displays on Windows and even Retina support on Mac was limited to PS and AI. This madness really just started back then and nobody was prepared. As John said, nobody will ever do anything with CS6 again, so you have to live with it and use what tools your operating system offers in combination with your hardware like using a lower screen res and then scaling it 200%...

Display is too small to read

I opened Windows in Bootcamp and the icons are there but the fonts are all too small to read. I can't click on anything to fix it because I don't know what I'm clicking on. There must be a mix-up in the display settings but I can't navigate to where I need to go to fix it. Is there a way to fix it?

I opened Windows in Bootcamp.
What version of Windows do you have, Dennis? XP, Vista or 7?

Cs6 icons are too small to read.

Installed Photoshop CS6, the icons on the front page, top and side are way too small to read. I have a hard time seeing, can't hardly see the crop tool and the tools on top, help.

Hi
I have lower my screen solution to 1024x768 (lowest). However it is still too small. Is there anything else i can do to solve this issue? I'm using illustrator CS6 version 16.0.3

Course displays in too small a window once it's in LMS

We're having a problem with our Captivate courses where, once
we've uploaded them to our LMS (GeoLearning) and launched them,
they launch in a window that is too small and can't be manually
resized or maximized. The window is about 30% too small, and scroll
bars display, forcing you to either scroll or zoom out. We even
tried publishing with "Full Screen" selected. Nothing works.
The LMS folks told us that Captivate uses code that the LMS
doesn't recognize. They gave us code for us to manually paste into
the generated htm file that basically forces the browser window to
display at a certain size (we chose the same size as our project:
1014x713). However, this doesn't work. The window looks the same as
it did without the code. I've e-mailed them for further assistance,
but I was hoping that maybe someone on this forum could shed some
light on this problem. I find it hard to believe that Captivate
doesn't play well with LMSs.
Has anyone else had problems with their courses launching in
browser windows that are too small and can't be resized once
they're in an LMS? If so, what, if anything, were you able to do to
fix it? This is a pretty serious problem. At this point, it looks
like the only thing we'll be able to do is tell our students they
have to zoom out to 75% to be able to see the entire screen. Or,
maybe we need to resize our projects, except we don't have time to
do that now. We're launching our new LMS and courses in about 10
days, and that's not enough time to resize the project and then
tinker with the placement of objects on the screen.
If anyone has any ideas, I appreciate your help! :( I'm going
home now! Have a great weekend.
Lisa

Lisa, I am certain that this is a LMS problem, not a
Captivate problem, and encourage you to keep after the LMS company
for help. But if I were you, I would immediately start creating
smaller Captivate projects. The size you mentioned is humongous by
any standards I've ever heard, and it occurs to me that perhaps it
(they) is/are so large that the size falls outside acceptable
parameters for the LMS. Just a thought ...
I'm just rambling now so feel free to skip this but if it
makes you feel better - and I know it won't - I once worked for a
web-application designer who created his company's application to
be run
only at 1024x768 or larger. When I pointed out that nearly
all our customers were still using video cards supporting 800x600
(maximum), his simplistic reply was that I should tell them to
upgrade their equipment. He was a complete idiot.
I have never seen a program that couldn't be designed to run
fine in 800x600 and that would alleviate your problem (yeah, I know
there might be exceptions, but I've never seen a legitimate one
except those that are designed only for pod-casting).

Remote Desktop Connection/RDC display is too small on my MacBook screen

I use the free download from MS, RDC version 1.0.3 on my MacBook - to connect remotely to a PC network at my job from home. When I connect remotely the RDC display is very small on my MB screen. Is there anyway to enlarge the display or am I locked into the small size?

Thanks, Garreth. When I connect remotely with RDC, I only see "RDC" and "Help" along the top of the screen. The 'Options' link is nowhere to be found; even under each of these two tabs. Is there more than one version of RDC for Mac? It would be great if I can fill my entire MB screen (given it's already 13") with the RDC connection display.

A new display was put on my macbook pro. Display is too small to read

My 2011 Macbook Pro was just serviced for having intermittent pink lines in the display. They put a new screen clamshell on it. The new display has the text so incredibly small I can't even read it with my reading glasses on. The menu bars are small, everything is small. I'm having to hunch over the screen WITH glasses and still can't read it. I can't seem to find where to adjust it like last time. I can't read the email, etc. BTW, the vertical pink lines did NOT get resolved with a new clamshell. As soon as I got home, it did it again so if anyone has any suggestions on that, I would be appreciative as well.
Thanks.

Not sure about the text on screen but that sounds like they replace the standard display with a High Resolution model.
Open System Preferences and the Display section. Make sure it is toggle to Best for built in display and then change it to scaled and see wha the resolution is set to. Then toggle it back to best to Best for built in display.
As to the lines it sounds like the Logic board will need to changed.

Web page displays much too small

I'm trying to develop a web page to display on the Pre, but no matter what I set the size of the page to it shows up very small on the Pre.
Here's the raw html. Changing the font size to large didn't seem to change anything. No matter what it shows up very small in the upper left of the screen.

You may need to set the viewport in a meta tag.
http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1574&Itemid=26
The webOS browser supports the viewport meta-tag, which allows sites to control the rendering width, initial zoom factor, maximum/minimum zoom factors, and whether zooming is allowed.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no">

Display is too small at normal zoom.

When I start Firefox, it is super zoomed in, but the fonts and everything look normal. But, when I zoom out to the point where I don't have a sideways scroll bar (on websites that wouldn't normally have to scroll sideways, like Google,) the fonts are extremely small and hard to read. I wasn't having problems 20 minutes ago, but now all of the sudden I'm bombarded with them. I've tried pretty much everything I could find, but nothing worked.
I have Firefox 24, Windows XP. I just uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled it, keeping nothing from the old version. But I still have the problem.

Firefox now adjusts the page zoom level according to your Windows settings, to better support high DPI displays. For example, if Windows is set to 125% font size (120dpi), the content area will be zoomed by 25% compared with Firefox 21 and earlier.
The straightest line back toward the earlier style of display is the following two step approach:
Step 1: Install the Theme Font & Size Changer extension. Why? Because turning off the scaling affects the chrome area (menus, toolbars, and tabs) as well as the content.
After restarting Firefox, click the new "A" icon at the right end of the navigation toolbar and change the font size from Normal to 15.
Step 2: Change your global scaling in the about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste pix and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and change its value to 1.0 for Firefox 21-sized fonts in the content area.
This should take effect immediately without another restart.

Display print too small

Why is the display print on all pages so small

Thanks for the ideas. I will try the smaller resolution. I have tried everything else. I have used the Control+ but must to it every time.

Having trouble with image size on new HP2311x display with 4 year old MacBook. Image too small. Do I have to stay in mirror mode? I have messed with OSD and Image Control menus on display and have gotten nowhere. Help?

Have just installed new HP 2311x display withe 4 year old MacBook. VGA cable. In mirror mode, at high resolution of 1920x1080, image size on HP display is too small. How can I get it to fill screen? If not in mirror mode, the display looks good, only I can't get the top menu bar (tried to drag it) nor the rest of the desktop. Help?

Scale based marker are too small

Hi,
I'm using Image Marker Styles with a marker size in meter.
In a wholeImage MapViewer displays them correct. But if I use single FOI images MapViewer displays them too small.
I got this behavior with MapViewer Ver11_B091229. MapViewer Ver11_B090416 displays the Marker in a correct size.
Thanks,
Cord

Hi Cord,
when you say displays too small, is it always small for different zoom levels? The marker does not change sizes as you zoom in/out while rendering as a non wholeImage FOI ltheme? Some issues have been found with scalable styles and FOI entities (more related with advanced styles). If you have access to patches, please try patch 9668208 and let us know the results.
Thanks.

Dreamweaver CS6: font size in menus too small on 1920 x 1080 screen. [was: Dreamweaver]

Hi,
I am using adobe Dreamweaver cs6 and my Laptop screen size 15.5 (39.4 cms) wide (1920 x 1080). My Dreamweaver software top tab menus like File, Edit, View, Insert, Modify, Format etc. these are menus font size too small in my laptop display so i am facing problem in development. I have try to resolve this issue through change to desktop resolution but after change the resolution of window property i have get only little bit change in font size of tab menus but i am not satisfied with this change if you have any other solution for this problem please reply me or email me on [personal information deleted by moderator]
Thanks
Parveen Kumar

Unfortunately, the only way to change the font size in the Dreamweaver interface is by changing the display settings of your computer. On Windows, you can change the size of text and other items without changing the resolution by selecting Start > Control Panel > Display. I don't think there is an equivalent on a Mac.
If you find the size of the menu items a problem, I suggest that you submit a feature request through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
