Unhappy I Cant See!

Spent about an hour looking for a UI that will run at 1024X768. I am sure there is one that is updated and compatible but i have been unable to find it. SO, i turn to the rest of you in hopes of finding my dream UI. Im currently using LAFFS V8 (tyejjae steel derivative?) and love it except for one minor matter.
Im getting a bit older, and i CANT SEE half of the letters/words on the screen without smashing my face into my monitor. While I COULD contemplate getting a biger monitor, i CANT afford one. Heck I cant even afford glasses to fix the vision problems.

Sorry to ramble, but really love the work all you interface developers have done and while i dont wish to sound like im whining, PLEASE make my dream come true!

I dont wanna use the default! i dont wanna use the default! WAAAH!! WAAAH!


ok im done whining.

thanks iin advance

Default

Lol tell me about it........

Chat windows is easy you just up the font size in chat options
All the other windows like persona, quest journal, merchant, loot etc etc Use the same font size as the default..

Changed fonts are in the Active quest window, the quest name window (the one with the mini INV) the player window and erm... clock, the target windows, sv stats etc..

So I guess it is that list that you want to be made larger?

You do know that will mean slightly bigger windows in most cases! Would probably be better if this was done to the slimed down alt of this UI I have in the Beta section as the top set of windows have been cut down a bit so upping the font sizes would bring you close to the same play area you have now, Without sacrificing much info...

If that is what you want I dont mind doing it, but would need some more exact info from you.

Let me know your thoughts on this...

Thumbs Up

Thanks for the reply. truthfully its ALL of the windows. i have a 19" monitor but need new glasses (or eyes lol). most things i just cant read without getting right up to the monitor, the resolution is fine (clear defined letters) they re just all too small. I LOVE the UI, i just wish i coud read the stats, INV, examine option bars, responses to NPC's . just about all of it. chat fonts and bubble fonts i have resized and had good success with.

reason i wanted 1024X768 is it makes all the rest of it large enuf that i can read all easliy. but with the size of the UI peices if i put it at that resolution i cant see all of the pieces. they overlap.

Hate to ask you to do a lot of work but a slightly less complicated (its not too complicated now its just the overlap) .. perhaps, just leaving the Exp bars the same and resizing the journal helper and the target windows? dont really need to have 4 hotbars as i have never used all 4 at one time.

i thought of closing the extra hotbars and moving the player info pieces into that space, but wasnt able to get them to match up correctly (probably my ineptness) i contemplated using the UI builder to try and modufy it a bit, and discovered that however hard i try the bloody thing just doesnt make any sense to me at all. i WILL never be a programmer.

essentially, just looking to make ALL fonts (npcs,examaine;destroy, all larger so i can read more easily. upping the chat_bubble size only work on direct responses and i still have difficulty reading the possible replies. annoyed an NPC by picking the wrong response yesterday cuase i coudnt read them well enuf.

i want to kepp using your UI, but may have to (GASP) go back the default just so i can size it the lower resolution.

ALL FONTS too small, play area(view) is less important to me than being able to read the info needed to play effectively. stats are nice but less important than say the clock or money. group stuff is more important than having an inv window at the top (which i keep crashing the game by clicking on (DOH!))

thanks again in advance for responses

PS I LOVE YOUR UI WORK ITS AWESOME
