UI Scaling for displays smaller than 1920 x 1080
Hello, I would like to have UI scaling for smaller Macs that do not have or meet the resolution listed (i.e. 1920 x 1080).
I am on a 13" MacBook Pro M1 and it is difficult to see my toolbars at its current size and don't have a solution to improve it. This feature would aide in stronger accessibility to those who have vision impairment or challenges. Thank you for considering this change.

I would like to add to include Windows products. Anything under 1920x1080 does not allow for UI scaling. I use the drop down menus a lot. When I have to also scroll on each drop down menu it causes a lot of time loss. If I could scale the menu lists to remove the need to scroll it would be very helpful.
I see that the tab/menu for Effect is still an older style menu list. It's much more compact.
Maybe there is a way to revert all the menu lists to that older style?

Hi Egor– wish it was that easy, however if your Mac doesn't meet the resolution listed (1920 x 1080) or have this available in Mac > System Preferences > Displays the UI Scaling feature is not available. It is not listed or shown in Adobe Illustrator preferences.

Kayla, but why don't you increase the UI Scaling in Preferences > User Interface?

Having issues with 2019 version while using hotdoor CADtools. Viewed great with 2018, but in 2019, it's too tiny to read. Solution I am given is to go to Preferences>User Interface and up the scale. And I'm shown the screenshot (attached) for the adjustment scale. However, my AI has the screen (attached) w/o any scale. Why is this? Running Windows 10 Pro / 64-bit. Screens are in set in Portrait mode w 1080 x 1920 res. Again, the CADtools worked great in 2018 Illustrator but not in 2019.
