Dreamweaver user interface controls appear small and hard-to-read on high-density displays.

I have 3840x2160, 24" display and many of the user interface controls are small, hard to read and in some cases are cut off.
I see this issue existed with Photoshop and Adobe introduced a "Introducing scale the UI 200% for high-density displays for Windows" under "Experimental Features"
Photoshop: Introducing scale the UI 200% for high-density displays for Windows
However I don't see this option available in Dreamweaver? Is there another work around?

Wow, 4K resolution within a 24" space. You need a 200% increase in UI size just to work, I would think. Can you post a screenshot of the issue? I would like to see that. ;-)
With the changes the Dw team have made to the UI over the last few releases, and with the latest Workspaces, it almost feels like 720p is the main focus, or like the only Dw users that matter are on small Macbooks, with very limited screen real estate. I can still work on my laptop when I'm out of the office (17" at 1920x1080 on Windows 8.1), but the icons and controls are pretty small. Even with the added screen real estate, and the fact that the UI is still intact, I'd hate to have to use it for extended periods.
I voted as well.

I have a Windows 8.1 machine. I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation. Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read. The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it. How do I fix this problem?

There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either working with Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Open up the preferences for the application (Edit>Preferences), then go to the "General" category and modify the settings for "Scale for screen resolution". You will have to restart the application after you do that. Does that fix your problems?

When opening Photoshop CS2, the Toolbar & Palettes are small and hard to read. Can this be fixed?

When I open Photoshop CS2, the Toolbar and Palettes are quite small and hard to read. Can I correct this and if yes, how?

You can also change the UI Font size in photoshop cs2 under Edit>Preferences>General, but that
just makes some of text bigger and not any of the icons.

Icons and toolbar text is way too small and hard to read (kind of fuzzy)

The toolbars (menu bars) at the top of the screen have letters and icons and symbols that are way too small to read. Also the background color options are limited. Light black on grey is hard to read. I have tried customizing all that I can. There used to be a thing in control panel called display, and we could pick all sorts of fonts and colors for all those toolbar strips. Where did that go? I am VERY FRUSTRATED!!

I've tried those, and have just decided to go back to 3.6. Firefox just seems to have too much input lately trying to tweak and adjust. Meanwhile, the later versions just end up looking worse and worse with each iteration. Icons too small, monochromatic tool bar, making icons harder to distinguish, and, worst of all, frequent crashes.
Perhaps some of these problems are because I'm using XP, but I've noticed many if not all of the appearance deficiencies with my laptop running Win7. Probably the most annoying thing about later versions, though, is the inability to set memory time for history. This alone is a deal breaker for me, and ultimately, as IE has gotten better, I may just go back there.

Just updated to FF 8.0.1 from FF 6.0.2, everything is smaller and harder to read! What did Mozilla do, and is there a way to get the spacing and fonts/font_sizes from ver 6.0.2 back into FF8?

I can zoom-in, but that makes the fonts look bad and zooms in too much w/ just 1 level zooming. I will be going back to FF7 or FF6 if I can't get this fixed.

You know I think you are right about font sizes. I rebooted and this morning I can't tell the difference in my BMP screen dump images I took.
But I swear there is still something different visually in FF8 that is making it harder to look at then 6. Just not sure what that is... it sorta feels like I am looking at a CRT at 60 Hz refresh rate, but I am using an LCD monitor. I sure hope my eyes just didn't suddenly degrade last night :)

HT2513 ICal works great but the fonts are small and hard to read unlike Outlook. Any suggestions?

I have a MacPro and use ICal. I loke OUtlook because I can see it better and it is frankly more pleaseng to the eye. And the fonts are large enough. Of course, other than than Outlook is a nightmare on the lack of syncing etc...
I am resigned to using ICal but is there a way to change it's look? Or an emulation program that will use ICal but present it better on the screen?

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Text is so small and hard to read...should it really be like this?

I have the 27 in screen- and must be the only person alive who is hating it.
WHY is all the text so small now? One would think on a large screen it would be BIGGER not smaller?
I came from a 14 in Dell monitor and everything was SO MUCH easier to read on there compared to teh 27 in screen.
I realize I can zoom in on pages in safari, but I have to do that for each page. (pain in the butt).
The text/words/buttons in photoshop are small as well, as in all my software I'm using.
Please someone tell me there is a remedy to this so that I can operate my programs without having to use a binocular at the computer desk. I can't figure out why everything is so freaking small on a Ginormous screen.

I think the short answer as to "why?" would be the monitor has a higher pixel density. You're probably running the monitor at its maximum native resolution (2560 x 1440). You could try one of its other resolutions (1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720) but I don't think you'll be any happier with those either.
Didn't you take a look at the monitor (or the 27" imac) in a local apple store before deciding to buy it?

User Interface (UI) Too Small on InDesign and CC Suite

I have a 27″ IMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. Its native screen resolution is 2560×1440.
When I opened CC Indesign 2014 for the first time I was shocked to see that the tools and rest of the user interface were SO SMALL that I was having tremendous difficulty seeing them clearly. I'm talking 5 and 6 point type!!! And the icons... minuscule!
I lowered the resolution of the display, but type then becomes fuzzy. I searched the web and found that there were others who were having the same problem.
I find it hard to believe that a company specializing in software for the design/creative community would overlook something as CRITICAL as size of the graphical user interface and its customization to work optimally on different platforms and with different display sizes and to satisfy the particular needs of each user.
The UI obviously greatly impacts our working speed and facility.
I called Adobe and their tech support could not help. I called Apple and got the same.
I've been a graphic designer for over 20 years. Frankly, at this point, I find the suite UNusable (I took a quick look at Photoshop and Illustrator and the same issue applies).
This is just unbelievable! Anyone out there have an answer?
Someone suggested we should repeat our complaints INDEPENDENTLY in the general forum instead of them being buried on one thread. GREAT IDEA!!

CC 2014 has a Expermental Preference you can use to increace the UI size 200% for High resolution displays

I cannot access one user on my iMac. When I log onto that user the dekstop appears unpopulated and blank and half of the programs do not appear on the operating bar. When I attempt to click on a program such as Safari nothing happens. Nothing works and I can only exit by doing a command/option/esc and restarting the computer. The other user and the Administrator work fine. What has disabled the one user? How do I recover this user and its files?

No.. I have been through parental control and it does not affect this problem. Now if I log onto this user I cannot get out even with a comman/option/escape; I have to unplug the power to the computer to get it to restart with the administrator. I saw somewhere that there is a process in which I can delete the use and then create a new user with the same name and password and then recover everything - but I cannot find that solution. This is a real problem for me, as you might imagine.

Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE

Dear Sir or Madam,
Since I am a TA for software architecture class, some one ask me the following question: I think the answer is "No" based on the document on http://java.sun.com/sfaq/
How I answer the quesions? Looking forward your help!!!
1.You may have 2 applets and 2 html files. One applet with one html file may stay at a client PC and run on this PC, and the other applet with the other html file may stay at a server PC and run on this PC. In this case, all the applets are run locally.
2.Could applets works with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
3.Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Jing

The scenario you paint doesn't quite make sense. The "server PC" wouldn't be running an applet, normally, since applets are by definition in a web browser page, and most likely involve user interaction, and "server processes" generally are done without user interaction.
The security rules around applets are that -- by default -- applets can connect with sockets ONLY to the server from whence the applet was loaded. RMI uses sockets (J2EE is too broad a spec) and hence RMI calls would also be limited to the server from whence the applet was loaded. Within that limitation, an applet could open all the sockets it wants, so long as they are all on the server from whence the applet was loaded.
If you want two applets on two different systems to communicate with each other, the simplest way is to have them rendevous through a server process on the server(s) from whence each applet was loaded. Maybe it's PC-a <-> server-a <-> server-b <-> PC-b ...? Or maybe PC-a and PC-b both are talking to the same server.
The limitation is rooted in the security subsystem. You can specify a policy file and override anything in the security subsystem. That does mean signing the applet and then cajoling the user into agreeing to grant greater levels of security than the default. In such a case you can open sockets more broadly and then PC-a could talk directly to PC-b without going through any servers.

Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

Looking for Better User Interface Controls

I'm working on an Labwindows CVI application where a tachometer meter with a
programmable "red-line" affect to define safe running conditions is desired.
The controls available in the Labwindows palate provide a meter control,
however, no capability exists for customizing it. A conversation with NI
Tech support resulted in confirmation that my desire could not be realized.
Is anyone aware of additional user interface libraries (internal to NI or
available comerically) that may help me?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

I'm not sure if this helps, or how you would drop it onto a CVI interface,
but I found something in National Instruments ComponentWorks which might
work. I did this in Visual Basic and ComponentWorks, and don't know if there
is a similar object in ComponentWorks++. What I did was open up a form and
add a CWKnob component to it. The CWKnob has several pages of properties
which you can use to customize it at design time, and you shuold be able
to access them and change them programmatically at run time also (like changing
the red line position). Instead of the default view of the CWKnob, I went
to the Style sheet and selected 'Dial', which makes it look like a meter.
Then I went to the Pointer sheet and added another pointer, Pointer-2.
I selected the Fill Style to
be 'Fill to Maximum', and the color red. This
puts a second point on the meter, where everything above the pointer to the
max value is a red band. To hide the pointer and only have the red band,
I set its Style to 'None'. You can set its value (red line) on the property
page, and I expect you can do this programmatically, too, although I didn't
take the time to try it out.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Help! PS Elements 12 user interface is so small it's almost unusable...

My editing options, etc are WAY too small!!!! Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can change the view? If I uninstall and then select custom install when re-downloading, can I select to download the program in a larger format?
I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 on a Lenovo Yoga2 Windows 8

Have you tried changing your screen resolution to see if everything becomes a bit larger? To do this, close all programs that are open and then right-click on your desktop. The small screen will open and you need to choose Screen resolution. Click on it and change it to something like:
1440 x 900
Of course you need to try other resolutions as well to see what is better for you.
Good luck and post back.
