Correct UI Resolution for 4K Screens
I have a 4K laptop (Dell XPS 15"), and the UI is just too small. Not small as in "I wish it was bigger", but rather "It is impossible to interact with the UI".
From scrolling through forums and such, it seems that this problem exists since 2014 or so, when 4K screens where a rare sighting.
But now these screens are becoming more popular, and the fact that they aren't supported by InDesign is pretty absurd. Especially when other programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier etc.) work completely fine.
I've seen suggestions for workarounds that have to do with setting the program DPI and the scaling that Windows does, but the only thing it does is stretch the UI to the point of bad pixelation and an overall bad experience.
Thanks!
UI Scaling feature (under Preferences) of InDesign 2022 should cater to this requirement.
Please update to the new version of InDesign to get this feature.
