(Granted, this is not the ideal solution, but it does make the apps usable again) How it is done: Have the app tell Windows that it is not DPI aware and let it scale everything properly.
Which is why you end up with an interface for ants. Long answer: When the apps load, Windows asks if the app is High DPI aware and these apps answer “yes”. SO! Rather than change a bunch of setting every time I needed to use a few apps by Adobe, I started to seek out a better solution without much luck. There is the simple solution of downing the resolution to 1600 x 900 and changing the scaling to 100%, but you cut your gorgeous display down to a quarter of its previous glory…and that’s not the point. I was quickly discouraged when I first fired up Fireworks, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Illustrator to find that I needed a magnifying glass to see simple menu options. My main purposes for this device was to do some heavy lifting on the the road with many of my professional applications. I recently purchased a new Yoga 2 Pro with a gorgeous 3200 x 1800 display.
