Any news on 4K monitor support?

If you search the forum there have been people begging for 4K monitor support for more than a year.
Even if you can't fix it perfectly there are  several REALLLY simple things you could do that would make it much better...

1)Allow users to select custom colors rather than just the fixed color schemes. 

This way when things are drawn, selected dragged etc.. the lines won't alias away on a fine detail montior......

IE allow for realy garinsh high contrast colors....(This also solves the problems for 8% of the male population that is color blind)

 

2)Add an option to Incrrease the size of ALL mouse cursors so you can tell where the mouse is actually pointing and the really fine lines don't disapear on a 4K monitor.

 

 

3)Add an option to make all construction and drawing lines 2x or 4x thick.

 

Those three simple changes would make 4K usable.

 There are existing workarounds for some of the other 4K defficencies, but not of the workarounds fixes the problem that the basic sketch environment is not usable at 4K, I can memorize icons menu  selectiosn etc... , but I can't see lines that disapear in the sketch!
I really want to use fusion, and I see all the added features come out and they look cool, but is it really that hard to make the basic sketch work on a 4K monitor, please,please,please please..... at least do some of these things as an interim solution while we wait for the perfect 4K solution...

@pbreed,

 

In response to requests from our customers we made changes to the way our icons scale.  This has helped our users that change the resolution on their 4K monitors.  You have made some additional requests and below are my answers.

 

1.  I honestly use to have a similar position on colors.  You can change the background colors, but not the lines and so on.  I changed my mind after spending some time with the UX lead on the UI.  The UX team has spent a large amount of time, effort and research to come up with the colors we have.  I was shown how different colors blend in during specie operations and frankly it looked much worse.  My suggestion is to make your background all white or black.

 

 

2.  The courser scales with the resolution, if you change to say 150% it will get larger.

 

3.  Line thickness is a interesting one, it hasn't been until some recent changes that this has been an option to us.  Now that it is, our team is lookIng into some possible changes.

 

 

Regards,
