UPDATE December 2016: Uploaded a quick video! UPDATE July 2015: This solution also works with Windows 10! reg file (Right Click Save Link As.): ĭownload example Manifest file (Right Click Save Link As.): No need to reboot or change anything else.ĭownload. All of the ones listed above are are in pretty straight forward locations like C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe or C:\Program Files\Adobe. Now place this file in the same directory as your executable. Here are the files I created for my machine (Right-click and save to use on your machine): Here is a link to a txt file with the manifest code: manifest.txtįor Windows to use the external manifest file, you will have to change the name of the the file to the executable of the application. For example, Photoshop.exe is located at: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) and I created a manifest file in text editor named to place in that folder. You will just have to copy your manifest file to all of the application folders that you would like to change the scaling on.
Navigate to the following registry subkey:.Press Windows Button + R, type “regedit”, and then click OK.Step 1: Tell windows to prefer an external manifest fileĪs always, make sure you backup your registry and tread lightly in this area. Tell Windows to look for an external manifest file.(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. Please try the new solution by following this link: Windows High DPI Fix
