GUI is huge!
« on: October 26, 2005, 10:34:52 am »
Hello!
I just installed the latest version.
My problem is that all fonts and all GUIs are extremly big.
I am running Planeshift at 1280x1024 and the toolbar uses 1/4 of my screen!
Maybe a screenshot will explain it better:

I tried to remove planeshift.cfg and let pssetup  generate a new one with no effect.
Any suggestions?

The latest update changed the fonts to this size. There is an .xml file you can edit to change this a bit, might have to search around for some threads made since the update. I definitely agree that it should be made smaller once more :)

Not a bug.

I\'ve tried editing \'the\' xml

no avail on that, you have to tweaky tweaky a few of them, odd thing is the size font was before was 8
size it is now is 8, but is displayed at im guessing 10, for some reason if you set it at 8 it bumps up but doesnt say

I made a thread in wishlist to choose fonts and font sizes, just poke Stfrn to make it :)

I changed almost every XML file in the \"/data/gui\" folder so that the sizes are now ~ 3/4 to 4/5 of the previous ones. And I set them to \"read only\" after editing that they don\'t get corrupted after an update.

I wonder if this is related to a discrepancy of font sizes between e.g. Windows and Macintosh: One system counts the size from the base line to the head, the other counts it from the foot line to the head.

Example:

a) The height difference of \'Gg\' or \'Pp\' or \'Qq\' or \'Yy\'.

b) The height difference of e.g. \'H\' or \'M\' only.

Different systems, different philosophies in measuring font sizes.

It is not a bug, but I really think it can be improved and I guess the author of the feature is working on it to make it more pleasant for everybody!
