I am using the MacBook Pro 2015(15" Mid) with Bootcamp 6.
MacBook Pro11, 4, 16GB RAM and Iris Pro Graphics 5200. After installing windows 10, I realized that icons displayed inside most of my Apps are too small. Below are two pictures to explain what I am talking about:
Adobe Photoshop Icons
Autodesk Maya Icons
Any solution to fix this problem?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
For Photoshop, have a look at this Adobe website -> https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-hidpi-retina-display.html
Respecting to Autodesk Maya, I have been looking for information about it and it looks like there's no official fix. There are a lot of people with this problem who have asked about it in the Autodesk forums.
That's a normal problem with Retina MacBooks and Windows, and you only have to change the size of icons and text to fix it.
Have a look at this Microsoft article -> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller/?v= t It applies to Windows 8.1, but it should be similar in Windows 10 (remember that Microsoft has redesigned the Settings app, so after opening it, go to System -> Display, where you will be able to change text and icon size).
I tried it but it didn't work. My apps were still showing the same thing. Here is a picture of the setting I changed.
You have modified the wrong setting (moreover, you have opened the old Settings app). Restore the changes you applied, go to the Start menu -> Settings, and follow the steps of my first reply.
Thanks for your help. I did it but it only made windows background larger but it did not affect Photoshop or Maya. I changed it from 100 to 200 ,then to full but my app did not even change while Windows background got bigger. Here is the picture of the setting I changed.
Have you restarted your Mac after changing the size? This is needed in order to apply this size change.
Oops. I will restart and let you know in a moment.
I just restarted my computer and it looks like nothing changed. Tried both Apps, still the same result.
After hours of searching online, I found a way to do it.
1. Right click on the exe file the choose Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and check the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" box.
2. Then go to Settings->System->Advanced display settings->
Then change the resolution to 1920 x 1200.
That is the only way to fix this by now. I am using Photoshop CS6 and it does not support DPI. The same as Maya. The whole OS does not look good with these settings but the icons in Photoshop and Maya looks better.
Wish there is another way of fixing this without changing the resolution. Thanks for your help.
It's incredible that those apps do not support HiDPI displays yet, but you will have to wait for an update that makes them compatible with the Retina display. You are welcome
wow. u tried to act like you knew what you were doing throwing the word moreover in their and using the freaking apple term "retina" but then it was just a scaling factor. ha
Windows 10 App icons very small
