4K monitor - is there a way to increase the font size of toolbar items

I recently purchased a 4K monitor and have noticed that the InDesign toolbar text is very small due to the extreme resolution of the monitor. For example, if I select a text frame and want to use the X,Y, height, width fields in the toolbar to make adjustments, the text in those fields is so small it's difficult to read. Does anyone know of a way to adjust the toolbar font sizes? I hate the idea of using the monitor at a lower resolution.

Thanks,

Paul

I also have this issue with a new Dell XPS15 laptop and using CS6. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the tiny toolbar arrangement with this setup at all? thanks Fiona

I suspect that no update to Windows is going to fix this problem... because it's an Adobe UI problem at its core. I have a 5K iMac and I can't use the 5K resolution because of this same issue. Adobe's UI is just too tiny in some areas (the entire toolbar being one of them). The adjustments they made in the last ID update (adding space between input areas, slightly larger tabs and buttons, etc.) does nothing to help.

I don't know if Windows offers a Zoom View option like the Mac (I'm sure it does), but that's a quick work-around for those with high-resolution displays.

On the Mac, you can visit The System Preferences/Accessibility panel and click the Zoom option to turn it on and set your keyboard shortcuts. I have mine set zoom when I hold the Control key down while using the scroll wheel to zoom the entire screen in and out.
