Increase UI Scaling in InDesign On MAC

Does anyone know how to increase the interface size? ... In .ai the preferences does allow you to increase the tool size so they are more visible. I cannot find anyway to increase the interface in InDesign; my eyes can barely see the small font, tools are ok, but larger would be nicer.

Much appreciated, Laurel

    Hi, to my knowledge in ID you can't increase the interface size.

    You can change the screen resolution or use the accesibility options on Mac

    Yes thank you as I increase the screen resolution, (Command +) only the

    documents get larger, not the actual interface for InDesign. EX: gmail

    interface does expand when enlarging with command +, which is great.

    Thanks for verifying ... wish they had an option for this sizing issue ...

    purposely bought an iMac for large display - didn"t occur to me they would

    reduce / fix the interface to barely legible.

    No CMD + it's just to zoom in. But changing the resolution in the system pref on the Mac it's the only way at this moment to change this ! But you can vote on the Indesign Uservoice for a better Indesign

    Hi Srishti,

    Where is UI scaling in AE ? Getting tired of holding magnifying glass up to on my 27inch 5k moniter.

    This is ridiculous that Adobe hasn't fixed this. Maybe Apple will come out with better software !?

    Super frustrating when trying to meet a deadline.
