The incredible shrinking icon.

Is there any way to increase the size of the tool bar icons? It is especially difficult to see the tiny icons on the Pagemaker tool bar.

Try changing your screen resolution.

Also, your system preferences has a pane called 'Universal Access' in which the contrast can be altered. This may help you but of course it will alter the way a document looks.

In the (likely) event that nothing helps you, you could put in a feature request to Adobe.

Thanks, Dave. I already tried changing the res. - That will only help when I get a separate, second monitor for the tools, which I think is the only viable solution. And I will submit a suggestion to Adobe.

It's almost essential to use a two-monitor setup for production work with InDesign or any of the other CS2 programs. There are so many palettes needed that there's no room to work on a single monitor even with only the leanest palette setup.

To get the greatest possible amount of working area, keep your resolution as high as your eyes will tolerate, especially on your primary monitor. I have my 21" primary monitor set to 1600 x 1200, and my 17" secondary monitor set to 1280 x 1024. There's never quite enough real estate, but those settings provide a nice compromise for my eyes and workflows.
