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

Look at my screenshots that I've posted more than once. Looks like the other apps don't have these UI scaling issues.

Other apps either are putting up with the bugs that we encountered, or don't do nearly as much (or as accurately) as Photoshop does. Microsoft is well aware of the problems, and we are continuing to work with them to solve or work around the OS UI scaling issues.

What about your OTHER Adobe apps that work just fine, Chris?

Adobe worked with Microsoft to implement as much as we could given the state of Microsoft's UI scaling APIs. We are continuing to work with Microsoft to fix additional issues in Microsoft's UI code so that we can implement more flexible UI scaling.

I believe the menu items themselves are system drawn, while the menu bar isn't.

Just set your monitor for lower resolution.

Are your running Photoshop CC? or Photoshop CC 2014 (v2014.2.1)? What version of Camera Raw are you running? What OS/version are you running on?

It's not Microsoft's issue. Adobe chose to implement their UI in a non-standard method. Microsoft has provided a method within the OS to scale objects - it's 150%. But, Adobe has decided that they know better.

Hi again, one more issue in this terrible issue: it was told by someone that there was a fix in a releas candidate for Camera RAW. It did not work, or at least, there was no way to get a proper UI for this issue. Same sh-t. There were some icons in the lower right. I had to do tries and error as the text popping up was not readable, and the icons so small I couldn't see what the were telling me. Seems like we all have to get back to the old style of pixelized scrambled monitors. Or?
