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

"Retina" is not the only high resolution display, but your 30" 2560x1600 is still only 100.6 ppi - and that is pretty normal.
But as this thread shows that far from all users have perfect vision, and displays will only keep getting higher resolution.

"Retina" is not the only high resolution screen.

Some may have better eyesight, but for me Photoshop's interface is barely legible on a 30" 2560x1600. Why not use the high resolution assets developed for "Retina" to offer me larger GUI?

I am in my 50's my eyesight is not improving, for the sake of us dinosaurs, maybe your product might install a visual font size preference in the future. Thank you for the trial offer but quite honestly it's given me a headache!

I'm one of those 'aging' designers Adobe expects to change their careers, if they can't read the CS-n menu's anymore. A year ago I had a new high-res 24 inch monitor. Sent it back because I could not find any way to adjust fontsize and user interface in my CS4. Now I'm still working on my old CRT screen hoping for better days.
I want to have a CHOICE.
I want to adjust my workspace the way I like. Even my chair has more options than Adobe' s "Creative" Suite.
I want to choose menucolors, fontsizes, screensizes, resolutions, dotpitches, aspect ratio's etc. etc.
I don't play games or watch DVD's on my monitor screen. I design books and websites and that is my JOB.
I want to work for at least 8 hours a day with all the CS software without getting headaches and eyestrain.
Machines and software are supposed to serve ME, not the other way around.

Time to check out alternatives. If there are any.

Huh? Card or not, if Adobe was losing product sales (market share) and receiving lots of product returns (Increased Cost of Sales), as their customer base "moved on", they would have fixed the subject problem a long time ago. It’s a "walk the walk" vs. “talk the talk" state of “love” affairs.

Oh, you are quite a card, William :~) Why would Adobe count on my (or anyone else's for that matter) reluctance to move on? No offense, but that makes no sense :~/ It has nothing to do with reluctance, at least for me.

According to Sarah Brightman, it moves on. Adobe is counting on your reluctance to do the same.

Ha ha ha, William :~) And according to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Love Never Dies, so there :~)

It's little too late now for me to "migrate" to other software, as I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator and PageMaker/InDesign since the early 1990s, so the only "learning curve" for me is the UI :~) I do this for fun anyway, not for profit~~it's just avery expensive hobby :~) But thank you for your concern and your suggestions!

Love is Blind. One of your options is to migrate to free or less expensive software; and instead, your pocketbook will be loving it while you deal with a learning curve you can see.
