I have Photoshop 6, and I find that if I have the screen resolution very high, the names of the menu items (‘file’, ‘edit’, ‘image’, ‘filter’, etc) get so small that I can hardly make them out.

Same goes for the toolbox, palettes, etc.

Is there any way to adjust the size of these items independently of screen resolution in PS6?

Thanks.

There are two questions here;
1: What screen resolution are you using?

2: Why?

Is there any way to adjust the size of these items independently of screen resolution in PS6?

Not really. Consider that a 20-24 inch display, set at 1920 x 1080 is going to do a pretty good job, and going to a higher resolution is going to result in the problems you are experiencing. You are not going to gain any real World benefit by setting the "screen resolution very high".
