Adjusting size of fonts in PS7 interface

[r_resnick]

Photoshop 7 running in Windows 2000

 

I just upgraded to a very large monitor and am now running at 1600 x

1200 screen resolution. I have a lot more screen space to work in, but

now the font size of PS's menus and palletes such as the Layers,

History, File Browser are too tiny.

 

I've been able to enlarge all other Windows screen fonts so that the

menus in programs such as Word, Excel, etc. are bigger, but this

hasn't helped in PS. Is there a way enlarge font sizes of the PS

interface and menus? Thanks.

I'm using Photoshop CS, and had the same problem. (Using a Mac, if that makes any difference.)

 

What I did in the end was:

 

1. have my glasses prescription checked (didn't help!)

 

2. use a second monitor for the palettes, which can be set to a lower resolution

 

3. lower the resolution on my main monitor from 1600x1200

 

I was reluctant to do #3, but realistically even with a 21" monitor here are only so many dots of phosphor. The real resolution of my monitor is not as high as 1600x1200, and it looks /much/ better with a sightly lower resolution.

 

I agree that there should be an easy way to change the font size anyway. :-) (Maybe there is and I just didn't find it.)

 

Good luck!
