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

We're repeatedly said that we are continuing to work with Microsoft on the issue. We care, but there are limits to how quickly we can solve problems in the OS.

Hey guys could you offer a good photoshop alternative with readable interface?

They do not care, so we all just move on!
The only Adobe on my system at the moment, is archived .pdf files.

I have C6 and cannot use it due to the tiny interface. I don't like the rented software model of CC anyway, so I may never subscribe, but I refuse to consider it until Adobe fixes the interface across the board to be readable and comfortable to use. I have already switched to the competitor's suite, and I am doing fine.

I have been waiting patiently for the better part of a year, and all I've seen is redactions and excuses. Bottom line, you're on the verge of losing a paid customer here.

Here's what we're demanding: The ability to read the UI and click on the widgets. Photoshop is completely unusable on a modern workstation monitor.

I have good sight, it's comical how small everything is with a 31" 4k panel.

I have only tested it on 64bit, I would assume it works on both.

The XML says it's for 32 bit. Can this be changed to 64 or is this only supported by 32 bit?

Here is a fix. No I did not come up with it, but It does work on my 3200x1800 13" display.

1. Enable Windows to prioritise external manifests by creating and setting this registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\PreferExternalManifest (DWORD) to 1
as mentioned here (no need to install the mentioned hotfix, just create the registry key)

2. Create a Illustrator.exe.manifest file in notepad, paste this text inside, save it, and copy it to the same folder as Illustrator's exe file

3. Create a Photoshop.exe.manifest file in notepad, paste this text inside, save it, and copy it to the same folder as Photoshop's exe file, you can use the same file for Dreamweaver, just paste into Dreamweaver.exe.manifest etc...

4. Run the applications, no need to restart or anything else, and their interface should now have an acceptable size, but a bit blurry as usual with this kind of scaling.

This is extremely frustrating as a first time Photoshop CC subscriber. There are three user interface font size choices in Photoshop "Small" "Medium" and "Large". Large is way too small with a modern QHD+ LCD.

This is completely unreadable!
