Question

InDesign user interface too small

Hello,

I'm using InDesign v16.0.1 and the user interface is far too small.

Both Photoshop and Illustrator are fine.

I've tried tinkering with Preferences>UI Scaling and no luck.

I'm on a PC.  Can someone please reach out and help?  My old eyes just aren't doing the trick.

The photo attached shows InDesign on the left and Photoshop on the right.

-Thanks

The UI Scaling for InDesign in Windows is absolute crap. I've been, and will continue to scream about it. It's been ignored for years and is still based on Windows Vista technology.

 

The only scaling that works is dependent on the O/S scaling being 150% or 200% and then you can match that in your preferences.

What is your screen resolution?

Screen resolution is pretty much irrelevant here.
