How to enlarge tool icons, palettes and so on

Hi there!

My 15,4" WUXGA notebook has a resolution of 1920x1200. That's no problem during normal work because I can change the icon, menu or font size in nearly all programs. The only programm where I've problems to enlarge the icons is Photoshop CS2. Is there a possibility to enlarge the tool box, menu, icons etc. in Photoshop CS2?
I'm thankful for any help that helps to relief my eyes.

That's a high resolution for a 15" screen.

Is it possible to set it to 1024x768?

Otherwise you could try setting the UI fonts larger in Preferences, but the palettes themselves are a fixed size as far as I am aware.

NEVER set an LCD panel's resolution to anything other than the native resolution. The results will be very poor especially when working with something like Photoshop.

There is a Photoshop preference to enlarge the UI fonts but other than that you really have to live with it or you could buy one the new Microsoft mice that has a built in magnifier. Just hit a button on the side of the mouse and a magnifier pops up on screen.

I've the same problem on my laptop (a Toshiba - same size and resolution), I've learnt to wear binoculars when using it - get some strange looks when I'm demoing at trade shows though!

Thank you guys. Yep, the native resolution of the nb is 1920x1200. I'll buy one of these mice Robert talked about.
Thanks again.
