How to customize the Illustrator workspace – Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 Review

 

How can I resize the UI scale? I mean, all windows are shown too big and i’m not able to make them smaller in the “preferences”.

I do need more tools in my workspace but its impossible to set it with this size of windows. Thanks for reaching out. This is definitely an unusual behavior from the app. UI scaling slider should be available for you to make changes.

I’d recommend you to reset the preferences of the Illustrator once. You may follow the steps provided here:. Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in.

FYI – for me, I had to change the scale of my entire computer to be smaller in order for the UI slider to come back. So it seems the UI slider is just not available if your computer scaling is over a certain number. Which means this resetting one’s preferences isn’t going to help. This is obviously a bug – when will it be fixed?

Which version of Windows are you using? A couple of days ago, while I had my laptop docked and connected to two monitors I scaled up the UI using the slider under the UI preferences. Now, however, when I’m not docked but working directly on the laptop, the slider is gone and I’m stuck with a toolbar and panels which are way too big for my screen. In the Windows system settings can you assign a higher resolution to your monitor and then restart Illustrator, so that the slider appears again?

You can then adjust it and change resolution again. I have Windows This is obviosuly a bug – do you know when it will be fixed?

Also re-setting preferences is obviously not needed because it’s not a preferences issue, it’s an issue with the program, itself. And I had to change the display settings on my actual computer. And now the UI slider appears and you can scale the UI to something different! Of course this still did not give me back my rotate arrows so that’s another infuriating thing WTF adobe???? And no, I’m not going to reset all my preferences just because you don’t have a solution and are throwing out random stuff.

If I reset my preferences, I lose all my saved settings. Even loading preferences from a file doesn’t give me back ALL of my previous settings and preferences. The fact that this is just thrown out as a “solution” is awful. Do better, Adobe. If you don’t have a solution, then don’t respond. But stop telling everyone to reset their preferences for crying out loud Adobe Support Community. Turn on suggestions.

The resolution is x Windows Monika Gause. In Response To haakonaa. Of course you could also try and reset the Illustrator preferences. In Response To Monika Gause. I found a ridiculous workaround. But still frustrating that it’s definitely not a true fix Post Reply.
