P: Modifying font and font size in the interface

I'm sorry if the community volunteers are getting grief, but who else is there to reach out to? I presume Adobe is okay with enlisting volunteers as cannon fodder while the Adobe app coders comfortably busy themselves with who knows what? More dubious AI features? They in turn are being directed by their apparently clueless managers. It would be nice to chat with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen; maybe he could help?

and I don't think anyone who's not on the programming team at adobe has a clue as to how complex the program is and how changes can have unpredictable and unintended consequences.    Every decade or so, developers of software this complex will decide to rebuild the software from the ground up to take advantage of advances in hardware and operating systems ...  if they're nice people, they maintain the previous user interface, if they're the spawn of satan they throw the baby out with the bath water...   

How about actually reading the words we've written?

"We" volunteers cannot change the policy on mentioning --, and in truth, there's good reason for most users to stay the flip outta there. As someone who's helped around here over a decade, I've had a bunch of times where I needed to go to the private messages to get someone sorted who really, really mucked up their ability to get anything done.

Past that, all the community types I've seen would love to have the UI font size control added. "We" tend to give practical comments as to what you can, as a user, do now, just to get working.

That never implies any of us would not want the change requested. It's just a practical comment.

Hi!. I have upgraded to the 2025 version of Premiere and what is my surprise of a new UI that is very very very tiny in my system display (LG C4 48") (attached a capture to see it)

Well, adobe have deleted the option in this new version!!!

WHY!?. I don´t know, but seriously, I CANNOT work with this TINY font size!!!. And the suggestion to do the scale in Windows is awful, because ALL apps and UI of Windows will be too huge in comparishon!

PLEASE, Adobe, do the right thing, allow us to make this trick or add an option to scale the font size of Adobe Premiere, because I cannot work with this anymore 😞

THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST UI SCALE AND TEXT SIZES. THERE HAVE BEEN FEATURE REQUESTS ON  THIS TOPIC DATING BACK TO 2015, ON VARIOUS FORUMS AND TOPICS. IF THERE ARE ANY DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS TOPIC PLEASE GIVE AN UPDATE.

I fail to understand the logic behind people suggesting buying new hardware to solve a problem the software developers are overlooking.

Accessibility is the core of any product and design work. We do this as editors and designers so that the viewers are able to appreciate the work we produce with ease, Adobe should have done the same for its editors years ago.

I believe no one with proper skills left at Adobe to know what even accesibility is meant to be. Their programmers and sales team should read their own courses on the topic and try to educate themselves on the topic before trying to 'AI' everything.

I have an idea, if people at Adobe think that adding AI to their crippled programs will increase their sales, maybe they can let the AI help them with accessibility.

Let me help with that for you since the DEVs are probably busy meeting the unrealistic requirements of the sales dept.

"Accessibility in software development refers to designing and developing software that is usable by people with disabilities. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and use software effectively. This includes people with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or other impairments.

**Core aspects of accessibility in software development:**

1. **Perceivable:** Information and user interface components must be presented to users in ways they can perceive. This includes providing alternative text for images, captions for videos, and auditory descriptions for visual content.
2. **Operable:** User interface components and navigation must be operable. This means providing keyboard navigation, avoiding reliance on mouse interactions, and ensuring that controls are understandable and intuitive.
3. **Understandable:** Information and user interface must be understandable. This involves providing clear and concise instructions, using plain language, and avoiding complex jargon.
4. **Robust:** Software must be robust enough to be compatible with various assistive technologies and user agents. This includes supporting screen readers, voice recognition software, and other assistive tools.

**UI scalability and readability:**

- **Scalability:** UI should adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions. This means using responsive design principles and ensuring that elements are legible and usable on various devices.
- **Readability:** Text and other visual elements should be easy to read. This involves using appropriate font sizes, colors, and contrast levels. Ensure that text is well-spaced and avoids clutter.

**Additional considerations:**

- **Color contrast:** Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background to improve readability for people with visual impairments.
- **Keyboard accessibility:** Provide clear keyboard shortcuts and ensure that all functionality can be accessed using the keyboard.
- **Alternative input methods:** Consider supporting alternative input methods, such as voice control or touch gestures, for users with limited motor function.
- **Testing with users with disabilities:** Involve users with disabilities in the testing process to identify and address accessibility barriers.

By incorporating accessibility into the software development process, you can create software that is inclusive and usable by a wider range of people."

To get the attention of mods and community experts I'm going to copy paste the following magic words:

Hey mods! Check this out and please give us an update. It's been years. Thank you 🙂

I completly agree with every veteran editor struggling with the small font size. I literally tried to enlarge it today as I've done in previous versions of premier, and alas, that ability was removed. Bigger font in the project is not sufficient. We need font across the whole UI enlarged significantly.

why is this still a problem? unbelievable. If I change the display scaling setting on windows, all the panels and context menus become so big they become painful to use.

Mod note: All caps is shouting. Edited for content. Please don't do that.

(Please provide a way to) change the (UI) to a size that sight-impaired, older users are able to see.

Mod note: Edited for content. Kindly abide by Adobe Community Guidelines. Treat community members, including Adobe employees, with courtesy. I have I have branched and moved your feature request to the Ideas forum. I will merge it with another post with the same issue.

After 2025 update the 'option'  to increase font size has been removed.

I am guessing lots of people used this option (including me) as on a large monitor the font is very tiny.

Being able to change font size in the Project window does not solve the issue, nor does scaling in the OS.
