High resolution monitors have been a mixed blessing for InDesign users with bad eyes since 1999. If we wanted the high resolution to see the document better, we had to learn to live with really small panels and other parts of the interface. If we wanted the panels and interface larger, we had to drop the monitor resolution, which lost the quality of the document.

Well, no longer, thanks to this simple little upgrade to InDesign CC 2022.

We how have a Scalable Interface control in the preferences which allows us to keep the monitor nice and sharp AND have larger panels and interface.

In this short Episode I’ll show you how to control it, and compare the interface changes with what we had in InDesign CC 2021 so you can see the difference.

Some of what we’ll cover in this Episode includes:

• Setting the scale of the interface in Preferences
• Changing cursor size
• Controlling the size of bounding box handles, and other elements
• Where is still needs some improvement
• and more
  

Make sure you watch this before you open and start working on documents, as you’ll need to restart InDesign for your new changes to take effect.
