Help with workspace holding where windows set & font size set to smaller as pref.

[NTC Ann]

Need help please in photoshope 2023. 1. Set up workspace like I like but if I resize background, windows don't go with. Want workspace with windows attached to background so when move R side of background over... windows go with it (layer, color, character, paragraph)

2. Want to set font size to 18 point when open new or existing file. It keeps going huge size and not holding.

Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1 

Thanks for help!!!!!!

The tech was just here and helped me with some of the issues.
I have Mac Sonoma 14.1.2
And Photoshop 2023 subscription

1. We did not understand what align UL according to OS settings means and
could not find it.

2. I'm so used to using the magnifying glass and dragging over the area
only that I want enlarged... but now... this version = zooms in horribly.
How do I turn the zoom off?

Thank you.

Hi, it seems to be a Win 10 option, not sure if it does something on a MAc: 

"New preference on Windows 10: Preferences > Workspace > Align UI According To OS Settings. Use this preference to prevent contextual UI elements, such as pop-up menus, from displaying beneath your hand when you're drawing directly on the display. This operating system setting is controlled from Ink & Stylus system preferences on Windows. It is available only on devices paired with a stylus." from https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new/2018.html

Hi, go to Photoshop>Preferences>Tools and uncheck Show Rich tooltips 

How do I get rid of explanation windows from popping up when I select a tool (don't need)

Hi, a quick search online can give you most of the info: https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/photoshop-cc-overscroll/

What does overscroll do?

Maybe you want the Documents window(s) docked instead of floating like in your screenshots.

With a document open go to Window>Arrange>Consolidate All to Tabs.

If that's what you want, then you can always have your files open as tabs by going to

Adobe Photoshop 2023>Settings>Workspace>Open Documents as Tabs

Hi, as you move panels, and come close to the edge of the interface, a blue highlitght lets you know that the panel will stick there. see: https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/managing-panels-photoshop-cc/
