P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

Let me break this down a bit more: you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. We do know the issues involved, and have said repeatedly that we are working on it. We can't do this quickly because we have found issues that need Microsoft's assistance to solve. When we have something more to tell you, we will update this topic with details.

Thing is Chris - yes I hear you. I understand the issues with scalable things within an OS. You're not listening to me. Adobe's UI supersedes the OS. That's why a manual preference choice to enlarge the fonts in PS is there. It's why Corel allows larger fonts and tool images. They also supersede the OS and do it themselves in the UI preferences.

So yes, if you want a complicated, auto detect scalable interface or even just basic support for retina display in MS Windows then yes, you need MS's help.

But to have a manual solution you only need to make yourselves.
I'm not the one being thick here.

Heck I'm even conceding certain aspects of your points.

Why is it so beneath you to simply agree that a manual preference solution MIGHT be viable and simply investigate it?

Maybe look into adding that Canadian dictionary to illustrator too.

As stated by many of us, others do it and have done it.
So unless they have magic fairy code in their apps, surely your brainiac adobe software super awesome guru teams you keep bragging to us about can implement the same strategy.

Please read the previous posts. What we've said is consistent.

We are listening, but are you?

Oh and by the way... My native language is Canadian English, and only a couple adobe apps have that option for the dictionary, because apparently adobe cannot make all apps have the same features (like UI font sizing)

So I doubt adobe could even translate for me, adobe isn't even listening to us.

Because we Canadian have wanted that feature for years too.

:)

Now when I write comments like that they get deleted - by you. So that's ironic.

It's extremely plain that I'm talking about preferences to enlarge aspects of the UI. You keep saying its ms's fault.
I'm saying Corel does this natively, on windows, with user selected sizing.
You're saying you're working on it with Microsoft's help.
I'm saying Corel and other software developers managed to do it on their own.
You're saying that later icons are a simple customization but its only a small part of the issue.
I'm saying you already made larger fonts an option, and it's just a small issue that's now resolved, so why not make larger icons available and you have a second small issue solved?

You're still saying we should check back for updates... Well adobe blah blah CC software is now out and there's still no solution, and you never updated us here for those on macs who may want to know that CC programs now mostly support retina display.

So you're not even living up to your own statements.

But hey, why worry about an interface i cant see when I can make Qr codes in indesign and when I can't export from bridge anymore.

So really it's plain we get functions we don't need, lose functions we do and get patronized for asking for the obvious things tht should be available.

All for $60 a month. Forever.

Thanks for the awesome customer support and respect for your customers.

What are you talking about?

I've been telling you repeatedly that we are working on this.
If you aren't understanding what we have written, please let us know your native language and we'll get someone to translate it for you.

I'm talking apples. You're talking oranges.
Currently in ps prefs if I choose large fonts there are no issues

If I enlarge fonts system wide... Only applications that don't use the os for rendering are ignored. Everything else works just fine.

So again... I'm not asking adobe to play nice with the os.
Or vice versa

I'm pointing out that your competition has solved this issue by allowing the user make the change within the ui of the program itself.
And solved they solved it a far ways back.

So you're telling me then that adobe has no earthly understanding of implementing this?

Just scaling the icons doesn't really help. The icons are only a small part of the UI.

Font scaling solved the problems for many people, but still causes issues due to dialogs not fitting common display sizes after enlarging the fonts.

We know what needs to be done, and are working with Microsoft so that we can get it done.

Please keep an eye on this topic: we will update it when we have news to share.

Even getting all the UI elements to scale correctly and work on low resolution monitors is problematic with the current Windows APIs.

We are trying to solve the problems, but there are things preventing us from doing that in the OS itself.

Again, we are working with Microsoft on the issue.

We will update this topic when we have news to share.

Chris.. A few days back you replied to my links to show how customization of the ui icons were done in another program.
You relied with
"And the links you gave are for simple icon customization - which really doesn't even start to solve the scalable UI problems."

My response is Yes. Customizing the ui with simple icon customization is really all we would like please.

Scalability - as an auto detect os thing - would be completely redundant if we could simple manually booze enlargements.

Without a manual option, retina displays simply show the "small" icons - the same icons we'd see on a normal monitor, rather than icons that are even smaller.

So though "hi Rez" icons are great to show "normally" on a hi rez display, they still cannot be made even larger.

So since you say it's simple, why not implement it?
