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).

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.

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

Windows not scaling dpiAware programs correctly on high DPI screens

I just upgraded to a new notebook with a high dpi screen (3200x1800)..
In the standard desktop (not modern), several programs do not display correctly- specifically Adobe programs, Sony Vegas, Sorenson Squeeze, etc..
The type and fonts for the menus etc are scaled properly, but the UI icons are extremely tiny.
See here.. The red boxed areas are what size the icons SHOULD be:
http://tinypic.com/r/nb82l5/8
If I edit the manifest for each .exe and change
dpiAware to FALSE, everything scales fine but is blurry (sections inside red box from link above)
If dpiAware is already true in the program, why isn't windows scaling the program interface icons correctly?

Hi,
Please check and uncheck the following option to see the result.
Also,please use a external display device to test it.

Right side menu too small font size of letters in Windows 8.1 High DPI screen

Hi, I just own a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and high resolution screen.
When I start Adobe Reader, the document area seems to be readable, with "normal size fonts", but the options menú in the right side uses a very small fonts size and is hardly readable.
I tried to change it using the Windows "change menu, title, icons size, but withpout success.
Any solution for it?
By the way, in a Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch, there is not "magnyfying glass" combination key and the zoom function of the touch screen doesn't work either in that right side menu área (it works in the document area, not in the right side menu area).
Any help will be welcomed.
Thanks.

Hi, Pat, test done.
Thanks for your suggestion, it was somehow helpful, or, let say, half and half.
It was helpful in the way that when I opened the preferences Windows I was not able to see the full window, there was a part of the right side of the window that was out of the screen. So, when I changed the "scaling settings options and behaviour" from "Auto" (default value) to 100% everything was in the display.... So, this was of high help.
BUT I was not able to find any way in all the suggested document for making the fonts used in the right window of the Adobe Reader, the one where the "Tools" and "Comments" menus are displayed more readable, bigger size, than the one that the product uses by default in the High DPI display.
So, thanks for the suggested document that helped to solve the first point.
BUT
Any other idea that could help for changing the fonts used in the "Tools" or "Comments" menu window?
Thanks and kind regards.

Teeny tiny panels on high-dpi screen~

Hi there~
So I've got a series of programs in the CS that are coming in at different sizes than 'readable' and Muse is one of them.
Photoshop had a User Interface option button that was able to fix its exactly similar problem of coming in at a remarkably tiny size, but now I need that button in Muse as well.
Yup, new computer, running Win8.1 on a Dell Precision M3800 (very happy with it) but it is super-precise with its bits and a few things fall in badly as a result.
This is one. Can you help me figure out how to get the User Interface in Muse to create larger panel headings?
I've already enlarged the same from the computer itself, going any further would through the rest out of whack. At this point is has to be a Muse-centered shift.
And again, the Photoshop fix was through the Preferences->...>experimental->enlarge to 200% and it worked like a charm.
The same is still an issue in Bridge and Fireworks in case you have extra awareness.
Your help is appreciated! Thanks!

Firefox ignores Windows 8's compatability setting for high dpi screens.

I recently tried the Windows 8.1 Preview, but then reset my machine to Windows 8 again.
Before this, the first time I installed Firefox, it ran at a low resolution, so all the toolbars and content appeared huge and blurry. I fixed this with the Windows 8 compatibility setting disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
After resetting the machine, and installing Firefox again, it was back to being blurry, so I changed the compatibility setting again, but this time, nothing happened. Even with the setting on, Firefox ignores it. Every other program with this setting works fine, and Firefox worked fine the last time around.
I was advised in the Windows support forums to ask the question here.

You can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.
*The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
*Change the default value -1 to 1 to make it work like in previous Firefox versions (100%)
Start with a value of 1 and adjust this value with 0.1 steps or 0.05 for finer adjustments.
*Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size (do NOT go all the way to 0.05!)
*Use values greater than 1.0 to magnify and make elements larger (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If web pages needs to be adjusted after changing this pref then you can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:

Adobe Photoshop Elements on high dpi screen

Using Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Adobe Photoshop Elements is not possible. The beautiful 3200 x 1800 dpi screen makes Elements unreadable. Adobe, we are in 2014, when will you fix this?

Support for High-DPI screens Windows

This was posted two months ago by someone else, but I feel that it is too important to be ignored. I have a QHD resolution Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop, and I use Spotify almost constantly. However, I almost never use the desktop app; with DPI scaling, the scaling is fine, but the resolution is horrrible. With my display, I would hope for 1080p resolution (at least), but apparently it will never happen. My question is: is it possible for the Spotify developers to create a Windows program with high DPI support? Or maybe a Windows 8 app? Pretty please?

Hi there,
I guess you are talking about this idea, I do agree that this idea is very important.
As soon as an idea reaches 100 kudos it will reach the spotify team and they will change the status. To learn more about the processing of ideas read this post "How your feedback reaches Spotify"
If would suggest to add your kudos and support in that idea, and keep sharing it on sites like Facebook, Twitter...

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:

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.

Traditional app and high DPI screen problem, AGAIN!!

Unbelievable, the modern apps in windows 10 are discontinued and all problems with QHD display are back. All modern apps worked perfectly with high resolution display. If Microsoft can not handle QHD display so why force everyone to buy pre-installed windows on every machine? It is totally unacceptable, when I wanted to buy my Dell XPS 13(2015), both Dell and Microsoft website announce it as FULL COMPATIBLE with windows. I can not enjoy my LCD anymore, I can deal with third-party apps like Viber and Spotify with blurry font or really tiny icons but it is not acceptable for an official Microsoft product. I could buy a Macbook at this price!!!

Solved problem by,
Project Options > Debug > Enable the Visual Studio hosting process(disable it run app later enable it again)
fixes mine, i don't know why gives error like this but this solves my problem :)
Mustibh www.mustibh.tk
You should propose your post as the answer to end this thread.
Although when you altered the apps manifest did you clean and rebuild the app or clean and build the app to see if that corrected the issue?

High DPI Plans?

I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which has a sexy 3200x1800 13.3 inch screen. I loaded up AE, because obviously that's the first thing you use to test a new computer out, to be greeted with the most microscopic interface I've ever seen. As much as i like playing find-the-parameter with 2-point font, it brings up a big question for me: Does Adobe have any plans to add support for high-DPI screens on PC anytime soon? I can run at a lower resolution for now, but I know I'm not the only one wondering this, and I haven't been able to find anything about it, so I thought I'd ask.

The current target for HiDPI viewers on Windows is sometime next year (probably the second half of next year). That's a rough estimate, though. We just added this functionality for Mac OS in After Effects CC (12.1).

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....

GRC 10 Print Version -Export to PDF in User Interface

Hi Experts ,
There is a functionality for getting pdf files generated for most of the reports in GRC 10 user interface elements .but in all the screens while generating the pdf via print version we are getting communication failure as follows :
Print Version Communication Failure : RFC Destination SALV_WD_EXPORT_PDF does not exist.
What could be the reason, export to MS excel worked fine . We are on NW 7.02 SP08 and GRC SP05.
Cheers ,
Dev. Parab

Dear Parab,
This is a general requirement.The reason why you are getting the communication failure error is because the print version for generating ABAP ALV is not set-up.
The flow is : The system (GRC here)uses the RFC connection SALV_WD_EXPORT_PDF to call a portal service >the portal service uses Adobe Document Services>the system uses RFC to return the PDF document to the WD ABAP ALV
and displays the document.
For your NW version and SP level , please implement SNOTE 1413938 - WD ABAP ALV -creating print version.
The Web Service Destination for Adobe Document Services (in SAP NetWeaver
Administrator) needs to be set-up as explained in note.
Also see IMG > SAP Netweaver >AS> Setup Printing for Web Dynpro ABAP ALV .
