Currently most of the text in game is much smaller than neccessary (just 7pt) and thus uncomfortable to read even on standard resolutions (especially when playing for long hours). In addition, players who use high resolution monitors have serious difficulties playing the game at all since neither font size nor the UI scale with the games resolution. Therefore we would greatly appreciate if font size and UI could be made scalable to allow all players to fully enjoy the game.



Please see also original thread and UI scaling concern

Try to understand us with high resolution monitors people, we really want to play this game without headache.

But it is WAY to little, even with "common" resolutions... I can't play ES because of it. smiley: frown

The UI is very little and I hope it will be possible to make it scale-able.

This is a lot harder than it sounds btw. The UI is bitmap based, not vectorised.




... we don't do it because it is easy, but we do it because it's hard! smiley: wink I can imagine that this is not done in an hour, but this is definitively an issue the devs should know about. And we don't request an infinitely variable UI, anything would help even if only the text size is made a little scalable.

Bigger text for important things like fleet list info would be nice, my problem is that the backcolour depends on what's behind the list text. Since you cant 'click-thru' to something underneath (like you can in some games), my Q is why does it have to be translucent??? In the early game, with lots of black as the BG its fine, later the text gets washed out by influence colours. So just make a solid BG so that the contrast is constant.
