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

Chris, I have Adobe Suite CC for 12 months now. When I started one year ago I had this problem with Photoshop CC UI scaling. Then you said that you are working with microsoft to solve the problem.
I wonder how long you would like to say this sentence to frustrated customers like me.
For years and years?

I know that I can do that. But why did I pay for a high res monitor and excellent factory calibration of the colors, and work with a consumer software of lowest quality? Maybe the latter is the problem. We have to start working with other sw...

All CC Apps.
Photoshop:
version 2014.2.1
20141014.r.257 x64
Camera raw 8.7 beta

computer / OS: win 7 latest update, display setting is 175 % scaling
monitor: Dell UHD 31.5 inch

Photoshop works OK, but: Br and Camera raw is in the work-flow and does not work in a proper way.
Also, Apps like inDesign should also, as all Adobe product work to fix this issue. This is not what users expect.
Also, All people do not have eyes like a Jet Pilot.
And, buy some monitors and check for yourself

"instantly"???? I can listen to you tell every new person who buy a HiRez laptop the same thing 90% of the time. But, come on, 3 years of complaints has far exceeded your "instantly". I try to only follow everything these days since all of us that voice our opinions are usually deleted instantly. I notice you still have your smiling face aviator....they must pay you some really big bucks. Have a nice Friday night.

No, it means that some apps are not using the same APIs, some apps draw all their own UI (and avoid some of the issues), and that you are missing the problems that we (and Microsoft) know exist in other applications.
All you can show is that you do not see the problems - yet Microsoft and other developers DO see and understand the problems. Logically, Microsoft and application developers know a lot more about what is going on with the APIs -- and we're working together to get those OS issues solved or at least find reasonable workarounds. This is a much bigger problem than you seem to understand, and it can't be solved instantly.

And I repeat, at risk of being removed again, that from the perspective of the end users, the customers, that my screenshots illustrate very clearly the issue at hand. The answer that it's a Microsoft issue would only hold water if all your apps behaved thusly, then, by extension, the problem lies with how Photoshop handles/implements the API's, correct?

My screenshots show very clearly that MOST Adobe apps scale properly based on host OS settings, and that Photoshop, when running concurrently does not. How does that have nothing to do with this issue?

My screenshots illustrate what the end user has to deal with, exactly what the users have been complaining about, and in that perspective, they have EVERYTHING to do with this issue. Thank you for pointing out my mental ineptitude, nothing like calling your customers stupid. Good job, Chris! Just wow.

Your screenshots have nothing to do with this issue. Again, Microsoft is well aware of the problems, and we are working with them to get the OS UI scaling issues solved or worked around.
If you do not see or understand the problems - then it just means that you personally are not seeing or understanding them. Application and OS authors do see and understand the problems, and are working together to get them solved.
