Revit UI

[revitworkbench]

hello, is there a way to decrease the size of the icons and UI text in Revit? I seem to remember reading somewhere once that some one did this. I know how to colaps the icons but thats not what I'm looking for, I just want everything in general smaller so that I can have more screen real estate for my modeling (similiar to windows Ctrl+scroll for desktop icons). Does anybody out there know how to do this? Thanks!

Autodesk Ribbon interfaces and menus (such as button labels, panel labels, tab labels, menu lists, and tooltips) use the font defined in the Windows Control Panel.

By default, it is usually "Segoe UI" Size 9. If the font size or Windows Appearance Style is changed, the Autodesk interface can have difficulties displaying the font.

If you are using Windows 7, you can use the process below:

If you are using Windows 8 (or 8.1), you can change the test sieze (but not typeface) by going to Control Panel > Display > Change only Text Size.

If you want to display everything smaller, I would look changing the DPI in Control Panel > Display.
