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.

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

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.

Font size in user interface is too small

I am working on a trial version of RoboHelp 10 and I can't read the interface. I really need this software, but will not be able to use it if I can't use the interface. All of my appearance settings in Windows are maximized for size. Any ideas?

Hi there
Well, if you are working on Windows 7, there's always the Screen magnifier app.
On a more serious note, you should really consider reporting this to Adobe so they will have it on their radar. Use the link below for that:

My User Interface is super small~ (high dpi screen)

Hi, so I've got an answer to the problem which surfaced in Photoshop as well as a few others,
~ in the Photoshop settings, _>experimental... UI to 200%.
But Fireworks is still super tiny~
Simply can't see it.
Working on a Dell Precision M3800, Win8.1
Good sizing: AI, PS, ID, and more
Super tiny: FW, BR, MU
I hope someone has an answer ~ Maybe an update that is similar to what was created for Photoshop?
Thanks in advance!

No, unfortunately retina updates for Fireworks are never going to happen - it is a discontinued product (although it is still available) that will no longer receive any updates (since May 2013).

CS6 Hi Resolution Screen User Interface Problems

I have a new Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop which has a native resolutions of 3200 x 1800. When I install the CS6 suite on this laptop, the user interfaces are too small to be seen.
Here are some screen shots. Oddly enough, inDesign is the only application that looks proper.
Photoshop
Illustrator
Dreamweaver
InDesign
I've tried to find a solution to this but I can only come up with "Retina" based fixes... Have you guys made these fixes for PC users?

I have the same computer and have patiently waited for the fix.... what a waste of time!!! This is absolutely incredible that a company that wants to compete in the graphic software market will not support resolutions which are rapidly becoming the standard... ADOBE your non-support is an absolute disgrace to your customers that spend money on your software....

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?

User interface elements

in the 'configure virtual form for table' part in the tutorial entitled performing inserts, updates and deletes, it's wriiten 'select the user interface elements in the table component, right click and choose Configure Virtual Forms'. but i can't find any 'user interface elements'. can anyone tell me how to get this out so that i can configure the virtual forms. thanx.

Hi,
The "user interface elements" refer to the components namely textField1, dropDown1, textField2 and textField3. Select all of these components either in the designer view or in the Outline window. Once selected right click on one of the components and you will get the option Configure Virtual Forms.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I wouldn't judge. I've been to Arch for a week, you know? But as said, it's VERY close to it.
What I dislike after a week is makepkg not handling dependencies automatically (which would be overhead, so probably not appropriate).

Anyone?! Chat said they couldn't help me it's too old?!?! HELP

Hello ...Mom,
here you will find (if stored at Adobe) "General infos about your Adobe Account" https://www.adobe.com/account.html. To see what Adobe has saved about your serial number, please have a look there: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
On the other hand you could use a non Adobe program, like
Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
Good luck!

Lego mindstorms: Is it possible to change the fixed user interface size of 1024 x 800 to smaller for use with netbooks?

I teach at a school that is using netbooks next
year - the screen size is 1024 x 576 for one model and 1024 x 600 for another model and color quality is 32 bit. To
our dismay, when we loaded Lego Mindstorms software to test it, we
discovered that the user interface is fixed at 1024 x 800, which means
the control panel at the bottom of the screen is inaccessible on the
netbooks. Is there a way to change the interface size so that we can
use the software on netbooks? This is a serious issue for us! Thanks
for any help.
I posted this question in the LabView for Lego Enthusiasts forum, but noticed that nothing new has been posted by the moderator since 2007. That's why I posted it in an active forum. Thanks.

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

Can you change size of fonts in premiere pro user interface -- the text is often so small it is hard to read

The text is often so small it is hard to read. It would be nice if as in the Blender animation program you can easily increase the size of fonts used in the program's user interface, through the "preferences" menu item.

Hi Ewporter,

Just started using firefox seriously. my user interface does not look like the one in the 'tour'. please help

i downloaded firefox a long time ago but havent used it extensively because i liked chrome. but recently chrome is just too difficult and if there is an issue i cant speak to anyone. so i am trying firefox. i went to take the user interface tour and there is suppose to be a button on the right hand side to help with bookmarks but my 'version' doesnt have that. was wondering how i get that and if i may have the wrong version.
also....i cant seem to find where to turn autofill on and right now its not working except with the occasional email address.
and one more thing....all streaming videos...tv, utube, art instruction..trailers...all get chunked up. nothing ever runs smoothly. and i am paying to get good download speed.
i would appreciate any help on these three issues.
thank you

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
