Why are my Illustrator CC 2014 text, icon, and panel sizes too big? It's treating me like an old person.

The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the one on the right is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left are enlarged, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in preferences about this. Does anyone know how I can fix this? None of my other CC 2014 apps did this... Is it a computer setting or a CC setting?

I don't have CC so I can't test this, but apparently since 17.1 on Windows the illustrator UI scales to 150 or 200% depending on your OS scaling settings. it might have something to do with it:

  • After Installing Premiere CC Update Icons and Worksurface became too big and cannot be change in small

    Hi, ich have installed the new Cloud Update of Premiere Pro CC today. Well, I canot understand, why all Icons are too big now and I cannot make them smaller. If someone knows what I am talkig about, please help. Thanks

    Hi Mark.
    I have the same problem, but it works when i set the windows settings for the font and icons to 100% instead of 125% (standard) which is not optimal.
    Do you have an other solution?

  • Photoshop icons and menu sizes too small

    How do I make CS5 Photoshop in Windows 8 useable?  I cannot make the menu font and icons (like cropping tool) large enough to read and use.  I had our IT people fix the desktop icons (resolution, etc), but there appears to be no way to make Photoshop menues larger.  Even when I open Photoshop the start up blue icon is small.  It is like some miniture program! 

    You have to live with it. Only PS CC will support high DPI displays in a future update.

  • Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

    Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

    Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
    I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
    I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
    The contents I am placing are all  Vector - Illustrator files
    But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with.  Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
    I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight. 
    Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

    Good idea not to jailbreak.

  • 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.

  • Why do I get a permanent wait icon and Basic C notice on the task bar on my XP when I burn disks using iTunes?

    Why do I get a permanent wait icon and Basic C notice on the task bar on my XP when I burn disks using iTunes? How do I get rid of the wait icon when I leave iTunes?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Why is text, icons and pictures pixelated on my retina macbook?

    I have a late 2012 retina macbook pro 15.4 inch. I have the nvidia 650m 1gb card. all mac icons and webpages look great except some icons, when I open a file and I am browsing for the icons for pictures, txt files or video are pixelated and of poor quality.
    Like if i use "open" on photoshop and I am browsing for photos it has every thumbnail and icon pixelated, and it does this everywhere, not just photoshop.
    Also in photo shop, text and signatures for my photography business are all pixelated even the actual picture until i zooom in.
    What is going on?

    If restarting your computer does not clear things up....
    Call AppleCare.  You are still under warranty.

  • I do not have many messages but my iphone 5s says messages take up 4.6GB of space.  When comparing with friends who have many more message, less than 1 GB is being used on their phones.  Why are mine taking up so much space and how do I correct that?

    I do not have that many messages on my new iPhone 5s (maybe about 15 conversations and only one or two going back a little ways) yet when I go to Settings, Usage it shows that my messages are taking up 4.6GB of space.  When comparing with others (some who have hundeds of messages) they are using under 1GB for their messages.  Why are mine taking up so much space??

    I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
    But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

  • Why are the themes in Keynote for Mac and iOS still so different?

    Hi guys,
    I love Keynote for Mac and I would love to love Keynote for iPad, but as you all know there are many shortcomings. One thing I just can't grasp why Apple still makes the basic themes so different between the two platforms. For the last years I always used Gradient theme on the Mac for my presentations. Whenever I want to play a presentation on the iPad I get the usual warnings (although I basically never use anything fancy in my presentations). Obviosly this is annoying, but what I don't get at all:
    1. Why do they use as a standard for the same theme different fonts and font sizes (Gill Sans 42pt on Mac vs. Helvetica 38 pt on iPad)
    2. Why does Keynote has a inconsistent behaviour between Mac and iPad in the most simple functions??
         - When I add a few bullet points on the Mac the font size is not changed but you get an indicator (plus sign) at the bottom of your text box to tell you that you ran out of space
         - When I do the same on the iPad the font size gets adjusted automatically to fit in the text box.
    I am not expecting that every little fancy things translates perfectly between Mac and iPad but that those most simple things are inconsistent is very irritating.
    Well, that actually feels better now that is off my chest
    What do you guys think about that??
    Alex

    Nobody here can tell you why Apple does things the way it does them, but you can tell Apple how you would like things to work at

  • Illustrator CC 2014: Effect-Gallery and Filters not working. "Process was interrupted/stopped."

    When I try to apply a grain effect on a gradient-filled object, Illustrator CC 2014 for Mac OS.X  tells me that "The Process was interrupted/stopped." What do I do and can I fix that issue by installing plug-ins? Also the whole "effect-gallery" isn't working neither. Please help me I am devastated, I am in urgent need of some grain-effects and this error is driving me insane!
    Thanks for help!

    System: OS.X Yosemite
    Kind of artwork: Vektor Rectangle, I want to make some freecards and the background should be filled with a grain-gradient.
    hardware specs: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
                              Processor: 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
                              Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
                              Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Other installed programms are PS and ID, both CS6 and CC. As far as I'm concerned there are not "third party plugins". (Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a complete newbie.)
    There is a 393 GB storage available yet.
    I already uninstalled and reinstalled it, then it was in english and the effect-gallery worked perfectly. Then i reinstalled it again because I needed it in german, afterwards there were the same troubles as at the beginning.
    Sincerely, I don't know how I should reset the preferences.
    Thank you for answering that soon!

  • Menu dropdowns dissappear. I loved FFV3 why are there so many changes to Firefox and no update works properly? Can you stick to a version and improve on that one? It seems everything is getting screwed up.

    I think I covered it. I want a stable browser. I work on computers for a living and Firefox has been the proven browser for a very long time and FFV3 was the best browser on the planet. Why fix something that isn't broken. I don't know what other browser will fulfill my needs like firefox did. Why are you guys screwing around with the best browser on the planet? Get it together guys.

    You could take a look at this iTunes Version History on Wikipedia if you want a feel for what goes on in each update and how frequent they are. The last few major updates have been two years apart. Most of the point updates have little impact on the way the user interacts with the software. You don't have to upgrade with each update unless you have bought or upgraded a device that now requires a newer minimum version to work with. E.g. iOS 8 requires iTunes 11.4 or later.
    There are some major layout changes in iTunes 12, but by and large any task that you could do in 11 can be done in 12. For example the new Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions. If you're used to doing everything via a context menu it is going to be confusing to start with. A workaround is to hold down shift as you right-click > get info on a track selection to get the old style dialog.
    Regarding the inability to delete playlists from the device I suspect you were working in the wrong context, i.e. looking at the playlists on the device in say the Music > Playlists sidebar for a device that is synced to the library. You should select the device first from the row of source icons, then Settings > Music from the sidebar, then deselect the playlist in question from the list of playlists scheduled to sync to the device, and sync.
