Tiny interface size OS X

Previously, I used 1680x1050 monitor with mac mini. A few days ago I bought new monitor with 2560 x 1080 resolution (24,5 inch). I faced with the problem -- OS X interface became too small. I have not the best eye vision and this problem is serious for me. As I know, Retina Macbooks have something to make interface more friendly. Who knows?

Apple, why don't you do scaling for noRetinas?

  • Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big.

    Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big. There is no option to change it. Bug?

    But no matter what, there has been some sort of UI font size override introduced in CC2014 that is making the Adobeverse buzz with dissatisfaction. Just out of curiosity, I just checked, and ALL instances of Photoshop are now unable to modify UI font size.... Below is CC2014, which we know about:
    And here is CC2013 and CS5.1 exhibiting the SAME behavior:
    It's quite clear that ALL copies of Photoshop are now locked into the same "tiny" font setting, regardless of in-app settings.
    This is NOT related to Windows display settings (nor SHOULD it be), I can share additional screenshots later to show that, but my boss is getting upset that I have already had to waste this much time doing beta testing that HE is paying for.

  • 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.

  • All files exporting as tiny email size?

    Since I have upgraded to the LR 5, all my pictures are exporting to the tiny email size.  How to fix?
    thanks

    hi 99jon;
    i realized the default is set for CD/DVD small size.  I guess when i upgraded it changed.  I now see how to change it to "burn full size jpg" to "hard drive".  I'd like to not have to go through all those steps though, have that be the default setting?
    thanks

  • How can I change the INTERFACE SIZE in PHOTOSHOP CS6?

    Hi! I was just wondering how can I decrease the sizes of the interface in Photoshop? (e.g. the tool bar). My screen resolution is 1366 x 768, and most of the tools in Photoshop is occupying a bigger space in my screen. I feel that I can paint better if they are smaller. Do you have any idea how can I decrease the size of this interface?

    I would collapse and expand the toolbar windows by using the double arrow icon?
    Doing this will almost give you your full screen?
    Or you can hit 'Tab' and it hides your tools when you don't need them?

  • Ggoogle search pages and Blogger's "create new post" pane have teeny tiny font sizes. How do I normalize them?

    Google's search results page has a font that is miniscule compared to other pages.
    I have tried adjusting the font in the tools>options>content>advanced with no change.
    I've also tried resetting the view>zoom feature to no avail.
    Blogger's "create new post" pane had an even smaller font, if that's possible.
    So far the tiny font phenomenon seems to only affect Google pages, though *'''''not'''''* my iGoogle page.
    Any help would appreciated :)
    Thank you!

    You can do that with a custom stylesheet in userContent.css or with the Stylish extension.

    You can add more domains to use that rule by adding the domains as a comma separated list like

  • Tiny font size

    Hi,
    I am using a 20 inch screen with a native resolution of 1600 x 1200. The font size of the articles and blogs appears really tiny and thus hard to read.
    I would suggest to use the same font size as in the forums.
    Or at least make the font size customizable for the user. If I use Ctrl+Mouse wheel I can change the font size of the left navigation pane but unfortunately it has no effect on the content pane of articles and blogs.
    Cheers,
    Marcus.

    Are you sure?
    Look at this:

    Search for: <font size=2>
    But in future I will leave the font size as default and hope that the font become bigger in standard. My eyes are not the best.

  • How to deal with tiny text size on the display, especially in email?

    I got a Macbook a week ago. I have been using a Windows laptop for about 5 years. Before that I had a couple of Mac desktops.
    All in all I am very happy with the Macbook. I haven't had any of the problems which have come up in these forums, unexpected shutdown, bad DVD drives, etc. One thing I love about mine which I had not seen mentioned before I got it is that the Macbook (or mine anyway) is absolutely whisper quiet. I cannot hear the hard drive doing anything. My Dell laptop sounds like a construction site in comparison.
    The main issue that is vexing me has to do with the high-res, small-size display. The combination of those two factors means that the text size onscreen is often so small that even with reading glasses I have serious eyestrain.
    Back on my Dell this was a lot easier to deal with. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, there are very simple settings in the menus to make text sizes better. And this is really important -- those text sizes are remembered after you close and restart the program.
    So far as I can tell, that is not true (in general) on the Mac. I find this shocking, since Apple makes such a big deal about the simplicity and usability of the Mac.
    Specifically, in Safari I went into preferences and reset the fonts. A little more complicated than in Internet Explorer but it basically works alright.
    With Apple Mail, though, it is really troublesome. There is no remember-able setting to increase the text size for viewing (that I can find). And the on-screen size of 12 point text in an incoming email in Apple Mail is just absurdly small. It makes me wonder if Apple is taking bribes from the American Opthalmology Association. This is going to ruin my eyesite pronto.
    Of course I can hit Command-+ several times when viewing each email to increase the text size to a readable size. But what a pain.
    Is there a way to make those settings rememberable?
    Otherwise I like Apple Mail. But I really prefer not to have to hit 6 keystrokes when looking at each email just to get it to a reasonable size.
    I looked at the help files for Mozilla Thunderbird. They seem to indicate that program works the same way.
    How about Eudora? Any others? Any suggestions much appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi Jeff, thanks for your careful attention and your comment.
    But I have to point out you've missed what I'm talking about.
    In OE, in the View menu (right on the menu bar, not under Tools>Options) there is a setting called "Text Size" which allows you to set the text size for viewing and composing (independent of sending). That makes it very easy to make the text easier to read on small screens. It does not "change the appearance of the formatted text so that it no longer corresponds to the intent of the sender". It merely makes the text bigger or smaller, like a magnifying glass.
    Via email I had some back and forth today with another poster here discussing this. You might be interested to see the email he sent me in which he included both Helvetica 12 and Helvetica 14. I took a screenshot of the email he sent me (from Apple Mail). When I read this email in Apple Mail with the "Message Font" set to Arial 18 (which is the size I need it set at for readability), Helvetica 14 is displayed at a smaller size than Helvetica 12.
    screenshot here: http://www.pbase.com/paulduke/image/64910338/original
    That's weird.
    Here's a test I did, and this is what really matters to me.
    I sent two emails from Windows/Outlook Express. For one I set the default composing font to Arial 12. For the other I set the default composing font to Arial 18.
    When I downloaded and read these emails in Apple Mail, sure enough, the Arial 18 font appears much bigger than the font in the Arial 12 mail.
    Then I did the reverse. I set the "Message Font" in Apple Mail prefs to Arial 12. Sent an email.
    Then I changed the "Message Font" to Arial 18 in prefs and sent another email.
    Then I downloaded both these emails into Outlook Express.
    On OE, font size is displayed exactly the same in both emails.
    So that's good -- I know that Apple Mail, whatever the setting in "Message Font", is sending some sort of "standard" font size. (By the way, I have Apple Mail set to send Rich Text Format mail). My correspondent tells me that Apple Mail doesn't send "true" HTML mail, and Outlook Express does, so perhaps that explains this.
    Okay, no big deal. But if I were a graphic designer and I wanted to know for sure that my carefully crafted email styles were getting through, I might be going bonkers because of this.
    But I'm not a graphic designer, and for the moment my concerns are assuaged.
    And I accept the wisdom of your advice to "go native". I'm trying, I'm trying...

  • Tiny image size when opening files

    When I open a file in CC2014 on my iMac it opens in a new window (I turned off opening in tabs) with an incredibly small file size. The image size is fine, but the view is 0.05% of the original. I'm sure I clicked on something to make this frustrating situation occur, but have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

    Just figured it out - I had made the photoshop screen where the controls are located small to get it out of the way a little and when I opened the files it made them as small as possible to 'fit' in the window I shrunk. I opened it back to full size and the images open fine. I'm an idiot. Sorry to waste your time ssprengel

  • Tiny Font Size in Bridge

    I have a running battle between running my monitor (a crt) at native resolution (1600x1200) and the resulting, almost unreadable font size in the Favorites/Folders column. The metadata is much larger and entirely adequate. Why is this so and what do I need to do to make the folder information font size the same as the metadata?

    Unfortunately this will require some new programming by Adobe and there's no way to know when that will happen. In the meantime, the only option I think you have available to you is to change your resolution so that your monitor is using fewer pixels per inch.
    Kinda blows the whole value of the newer monitor but I suppose you can switch back and forth from low res when you are working in Bridge to high res when you are working in PS.
    Sorry, but for the time being, that's about it.
    Best,
    Gary

  • Yahoo mail site has shrunk to tiny unreadable size in upper LH corner

    Something happened last nite when I was using the laptop browser pad. The Yahoomail website shrank into a tiny almost unreadable entity in the extreme upper left hand corner of the screen. I tried moving the cursor around to get it to come back to normal but without getting anything. The rest of the sites I visit are normal. What do I do?

  • Tiny font size on G3 menus

    I recently gave a Bondi Blue 233 Mhz G3 iMac to my parents. I noticed before giving it to them that the fonts on the menu bars were very small, both in Finder and the applications. I tried everything I could think of to increase the size, but nothing worked. I also posted a question on my local Apple Users' discussion board but no one could help me.
    So far my parents have been able to see the words OK, but I'd like to increase the size if possible. I increased the size of the icons in Finder so they're really huge. My parents are in their 80s and this is their first Mac. My sister gave them a PC a few years ago but it was too confusing and they got rid of it. I'm hoping the iMac will at least get them off of WebTV!
    By the way, I'm about 400 miles away from my parents so unless there's a really simple solution that I can walk them through via phone or email, I might not be able to try any suggestions until I visit them in August.
    Thanks!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    I assume the screen resolution is at the default 1024x768. You could change it to 800x600 to make it easier on the eyes. The other option is to explore Easy Access (I'm assuming this iMac is still in OS 8.6/9 - it's called Universal Access under OS X) which provides a Zoom facility. If it is OS X you're using on the iMac then the VoiceOver facility will read out commands / OS options (Apple and F5 toggles this on/off).

  • Tiny text size in Comments

    Is there a way to change text size in comments. When transferring photos together with "comments" from iPhoto to RapidWeaver (a website preparation program,) it would be nice to have more control over size.
    Raymondo

    Ray:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, we are stuck with what iPhoto gives us. But wouldn't that be a function of RapidWeaver? The font size in iPhoto is just for viewing in iPhoto. If RapidWeaver grabs it from iPhoto's database to use in a web page it would be the one to manipulate the size in the documents that it creates.

  • XI Pro: How to change page size?

    I have a letter-sized document where each page has extremely large margins and text in a tiny font size. Can I use the 'Remove White Margins' function (Crop pages > Set Page Boxes) to remove the large margins and then resize what remains back to 8.5" x11" using the 'Change Page Size' function?
    When I try this, I can do the first step and I'm left with pages about 5.5"x8". But the Change Page Size function does not allow me to resize the page.
    It this possible?
