Program Toolbar too Small

Hi, I have Photoshop Elements 6.0 and a 26 in. monitor. Whenever I open up the program, I have to get close up to the screen to even read the menu. Without having to change my whole computer settings, is there a way to bring the program closer so I can read the menus and toolbars? Also, it is a gray color which even makes it harder.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Are you on Windows or Mac?
On Windows, PSE doesnt provide any PSE-specific way of increasing the font size of menus. However, you can increase the DPI (dots per inch) from the default 96 to 120 or larger. This has the effect of magnifying the fonts in all applications, making them more readable.
Unfortunately, this triggers a bug in PSE 6/7, but there is a workaround:

Photoshop elements 12 toolbar too small

I have recently loaded a fully paid for version of Photoshop Elements 12. When I open the program, the toolbar and all the fonts anywhere are tiny....like a 2 font. I spent 2 hours with Adobe support and he didn't know what to do....Must have been a new guy. From doing web searches on this problem, I know this is not a new problem. People were complaining about this as far back at 2010. I know this could not be a problem across the board or the company would not succeed. I am sure there is an answer. I just need someone smart to tell me what it is. I have a Windows 8 laptop. It is new and has lots of memory. When I try to change the computers resolution,everything (except Photoshop) becomes ridiculously large. Cant keep it like that. I dont know what to do!!!
Thanks

Have you used Help>Updates from within the pse 13 editor to get the 13.1 update?
After that in the pse 13 editor you can go to Edit>Preferences>Display & Cursors and set the UI Scale Factor to Large-200%.
Then restart the pse 13 editor for the setting to take effect.
Also, you might want to install the 13.1.1 update, which fixes some bugs in the pse 13 organizer:

I'm new to Mac's and I find the display's just slightly too small. I'd like to increase the size for all my program. Is there a single setting that I can change?

I'm new to Mac's and I find the display's just slightly too small. I'd like to increase the size of my display for all my programs. Is there a single setting that I can change as a default setting?

You can drop the resolution a little, but it makes everything blurry.
OS X isn't as friendly like Windows is to give some UI adjustment, one of many major complaints about the platform that has gone unheeded for years now.
As a lifelong Mac user who's eyes are going due to age, I'm really liking Windows 7 more and more every day.
If you use Firefox, NoSquint and Theme Font & Size Changer add-ons, with a nice persona that makes better contrast, tweak the FF toolbars, you can at least make your web surfing tolerable on Mac's.
Also you can set a Control key in System Preferences > Universal Access plus a scroll wheel mouse, if you need to zoom in/out certain areas of OS X, however for a pernament UI scale solution there is none that's practical, unless you have a large room, a projector and a smooth wall.
A larger monitor won't work up close neither, however dropping the resolution and sitting back a bit might sharpen the images a bit.
The UI really needs to be adjustable and it's not.

I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it. Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read... I sent on the PC setting to try to change the display resolution.

I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

Anything before CC is not high-DPI compatible. Feel free to continue to experiment with your system settings.

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.

The toolbar displays File, Edit, View, etc. print too small & barely able to read. How to enlarge print. Also background color of toolbars hard to read. It is black. make larger?

The Menu Bar, Roboform Bar in general all toolbars the print is too small and barely able to read. Please tell me how to enlarge the print. Also, the background color is black and hard to read. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
Increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox.<br />
In current Firefox versions this 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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages if the above steps made the text too large.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/

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.

What do I have to do to make Illustrator and Photoshop have icons large enough so that I can use them.
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%...

Firefox toolbar text size & icons too small

Hello Firefox Help:
I have Windows 7 Home Premium with Firefox 3.6.13.
The icons and text is far too small in my toolbar. I used the add-on "Theme Font & Size Changer" and it helped with the text. However, all of icons are too small.
I recall this being a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. Is this a "bug" with Firefox and Windows 7?
How do I change the size of the icons?
Thanks, k

Increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.<br />
In current Firefox versions this 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.

If the content on websites needs to be adjusted after changing prefs then you can look at NoSquint or Default FullZoom Level.

Qosmio X500 - Texts too small in program

Hi, I downloaded McAfee internet security on my Qosmio X500 11-G.
The program is working without any problems however the items are too small to read in the program.
How can I make them larger? I made the screen view to 150 % but still no way.

Hello
Do you have the problem since McAfee installation or earlier?
Probably removing McAfee would help and install another AntiVirus like AntiVir but its strange that McAfee changes the text size
Is it a known issue of McAfee? Did you contact the support already?

Hi,
Is there any particular application's interface that is coming up small or is it happening with all the products?

The default print size on Pages is too small - how can I program it to be larger?

The default type size in Pages is too small - can I permanently size is larger? Thank you.

Hi Ellis,
When you say the default font size, is this set by the template you use for a new document? If so, create your own. Open a blank template, set the font size, and Save as Template... with a new name.
In Pages > Preferences > General > For new Documents > Use Template.
Choose your template. When you open Pages, it will open that template.
File > New will also open that template.
The font of a document from someone else has been set by the author of that document. You will have to change it.
Also, have a look at View > Zoom. Perhaps the font is not small, but your view of the page is small.
Regards,
Ian

I posted this before and got some feedback and tried everything but it is not fixing the problem! I rewarded points to all the answers. I had basis increase roll area size, optimized code and did everything I can but I am still getting the same error "roll area too small". Same program works in 4.6C but in ECC6.0 I get this error! I have other programs that generates more than 10,000 pages in the spool but the program I am working on creates only 7700 pages! I am not sure what else is changed in ECC6.0! Could someone please give me any ideas? rewards assured.
thanks.

Hello Mithun,
Even i think increasing the roll area should have helped
Are both the systems WIndows based or is one unix based ?
see this
http://listserv.sap.com/pipermail/linux.general/2001-July/thread.html#670
and search for "roll area too small" in the list of links
it may help
Also,
in this solution, it says to use 'field groups'

Try these links as well - others with the same problem

Open/save dialog boxes stuck at (too small) default size

I've been having a relatively small issue with Mountain Lion that has become a big hassle. In past versions of OS X, whenever I'd resize an open/save dialog box in an application, it would be that size the next time I went to open/save. In Mountain Lion, however, those dialog boxes always default to the smallest possible size (which is too small to read a filename longer than a few characters). so I have to resize the dialog box — every time! I open and save a lot of files, so this gets pretty tedious. This doesn't seem to happen in apple programs, but it definitely does in the Office Suite and the Adobe Creative Suite, especially in CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator. Might be I can fix it by myself but I can't imagine where I may dig it.
