Yeah - that is wishful thinking.
If it was a priority - we wouldn't need this thread.
Fair to say Fender most likely has much more pressing items they are working on.

Yeah that strategy worked for Native Instruments too
But they seem to have woken up.

Plenty of NI stuff is still VERY non-scalable.Yeah that strategy worked for Native Instruments too
And will be for the foreseeable future.

Regarding the deleted poll: POLL: What is the pixel size of your highest resolution monitor running Fender Pro?
The funny thing is that maybe unintentionally the question was phrased correctly: 'size', not 'resolution'. To prevent a large screen from looking grainy close-up you want to use a higher resolution. That way plugins will still be X pixels across but the pixels will be bigger on that large screen compared to say a laptop screen, so the plug-ins will be bigger too (in cm/") and perfectly useable. Choosing a higher resolution on a small screen means that everything will be smaller, too small to be comfortable probably. It's a choice...

Yeah sorry it wasn't about pixel density.
I spent some time putting the poll up in good faith, thought it would be interesting, admin killed it and I don't have a backup copy. I'm not going to do it again.
No real reason given, maybe it's off topic to discuss this in a studio Pro COMMUNITY support forum where people actually use Studio Pro, rather it's way better to be a relaxed lounge talking about coffee with the eyeballs of about 3 users, perfect for a poll
But then it's perfectly fine to post here a survey about signatures (which btw did not get implemented).
I'm done for now, pissed off with the pettiness and double standards to be honest, and I'll be taking a break from here. Nevermind. At least I'm not in the army.
EDIT.
Do you know what's really funny?
You CAN'T post a poll in the lounge.

No, they aren’t. Nor are many third-party plugins. However, Plugin Alliance have just announced an update to the entire Brainworx range that includes scalability - it’s a start!
Look at my screenshot, the plugin text is tiny. No need to be so damn condescending.
OSX doesn't have such settings like Windows does.
All of my UAD, Softube, Neural, Toontrack and Kiive plugins have scalability options.
For what it's worth, Logic's stock plugins are resizable, which is interesting as I'd say Logic is Studio Pro's biggest competitor on OSX. So yeah, it is a thing. This gas-lighting from others is ridiculous. It's 2026 - to claim "well most studios are using lower resolution of blah, blah, blah..." is ridiculous. The same logic can be applied to the argument of "most professional studios are not using Fender Studio Pro" in the first place - does that mean we should all be like "oh shit! Guess I better start paying Avid a small fortune?!" No, it's dumb and so is this line of argumentation.

It was not meant to be condescending - it was meant to simply quote you verbatim - via your first sentence in your first post:
"Major issue with Studio Pro 8 - stock plugins appear microscopic and are nearly impossible to use"
If I offended - my apologies.

I agree that it's long past time that this should be a standard feature for pretty much any software we use, not least Studio Pro. Exchanging bitmap for vector graphics shouldn't be that difficult to accomplish. Let's hope it happens soon.

Won't disagree that it's long past time - but then again - until someone can convince ANY vendor to invest the time, talent and resource it would take to rewrite the UIs for all the plugins in a typical series - it will never happen. There is no money in it for them and the budget is always allocated to something more important - usually something new that can actually make money.
I 100% agree that if a vendor is creating a new product - from scratch - building it without a scalable UI is unacceptable. But retrofitting old ones?
For those that scoff and think this is easy - you should really give it a try and find out exactly how hard it actually is.
