P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

I'm using a high resolution monitor(2560x1600). As a result, all the the toolbar fonts and menu fonts are small and hard to see. I do not want to lower the screen resolution as this would defeat the purpose of this monitor.. Will the new CS6 have the ability to increase font sizes to accommidate Hi-Res monitors?

Thanks

CC products that can deal with scalable UI are e.g. Premiere, After Effects, Lightroom. Photoshop and Bridge cannot handle a resolution of 2880x1680. In Photoshop even at a display setting of 200% and preferences set to large font size the display is near to unreadable.

FYI: per Adobe, Seeing the menu is now "new feature".

If seeing the previous responses helped, we would quit asking the same questions. No one does this because they want to. You have a very frustrated consumer base. 

Be prepared to have any negative comment removed. I have been following this same issue for 3 years. Total adobe fail. I try to tweet weekly about it.

»This is of course nonsense as Br is a front end to Ph (do I really have to teach Adobe staff this?)«
And this statement seems to be impertinent and nonsensical.

This is absolutely true! CC is not a unified software family, which is confirmed by comments from Adobe that Br has close to nothing to do with Ph. This is of course nonsense as Br is a front end to Ph (do I really have to teach Adobe staff this?) and work in Ph and ill is input to InDesign, which also do not provide any working user interface. So the conclusion is that Adobe sell this as a Unified product (CC), but it is not so in reality, which is emphasized by comments from Adobe as well as performance in action. Amazing...!
Also, I want to point out that a proper way to start in Camera RAW is to open a file in Ph, which then open Camera RAW with the correct settings. This also indicates that Adobe should buy a high res monitor for staff at Adobe so they can see for themselves.

Hi Frank, in another comment on this thread we mention that work on Bridge, which is a separate application, still needs to be done. This topic addresses Photoshop.

The "official" responses seem to suggest that the problem is solved or can be worked around with the Windows system settings. This is not the case in January 2015. CC Bridge for example cannot be used with high resolution monitors. Interesting though that Lightroom does not have the same issue.
