How to change the user interface font sizes, colours?

Report · Dec 17, 2020

I have recently suffered eye damage and my vision is now nothing like it once was. I have great difficulty reading the texts and numbers in the user interface - light grey numbers and letters on a dark grey background are just smudges to me. I am making more and more errors in my work that needs to be fixed later.

I would like to change the user interface text to white instead of light grey, and increast the size of the font. I can change the overall font size of everything in Windows but that reduces the screen real estate i have to work on my files. And it seems like a bit of a sledge hammer solution - it affects hundreds of other applications as well.

I have looked through the Edit>PReferences and it seems you can change just about anything else BUT the colour and size of the user interface font. Have I overlooked/missed something?

I'm afraid you can't - this appears to have been an Adobe 'house style' decision some years ago now, and there's no mechanism for changing it. What you might like to consider though is getting a reader that speaks out the key functions as you hover over them (this has a name but I can't remember it!) - and also there are screen magnifiers that will selectively magify the area you've held your mouse over - Windows has a lot of this stuff built into it now, which is probably why Adobe's not so fussed about doing anything about it (that, and being run by corporate grey bean counters...)

Audition UI Font size. Not even in 2023. Atlease advise, How to avoid paying, and shift to a good won. FL Studio is the future.
