Personally I have no problem with it. I usually use 1024 X 768, but on ocassion I use 1200 X 900 and still have no issue with it.
Life is what you make it. Unfortunately, it will take awhile.

I use 1024 x 768 and I feel that it is too big and cluttered. Making it smaller could definately help.

I\'m using 1024x768.  I\'m also running linux, so apparently everything\'s bloody huge...

I prefered it before the fix.  The larger names didn\'t bother me, but now my shortcut menus takes up about a 1/5 of my screen space...crazy.

The wacky font sizes are a bug, I think the poll was mainly about the use of space and UI design, not the text size

I am not a GUI pro, but it seems to me that the main, 3D view should be shrunk so that a smaller portion of it is covered by GUI elements.  I\'m a fan of a main view with a sidebar and maybe an area under or over the main view, and overlap of the main view when necessary.

I find everything to be the proper scale.

Font are ridiculously big, the shortcut window needs fixing...in terms of looking good and the font.
Most of the time, names are to small but other times there huge :rolleyes:

On a side note: The updater and the setup is to small
And my screen is 1024X768

My screen is 800 X 600
The letters seem way to huge and sometimes I have to scroll down a lot when I\'m chatting...
The shortcut bar\'s words are slightly big but the icons and the rest are at a normal state
And I can\'t read all of the MOTD in PS and my guild

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to change the format of PS client...sorry :D

hah! the gui is somethink what i\'m working on.
/me plays professional :P

Too big font size is somethink what most of you never experienced because you wasn\'t on 800x600. You see, if you would, then you see the font to be proportionally big to the rest of the window in the same way as it is not to all resolutions.
1. It is because text is now scaled as it should in most cases
2. the xmls which contain most informations about style customization were designed with low amount of time, thus need editing (always needed).

I can and i\'m already fixing most of the problems which you experience. I\'m more than willing to do the xml job, but doing that, i would like to do it well. Some things are out of my reach.. like editing the art which is protected by license and editing the source code, to fix some wasted space and lack of customization through xml files.
I have edited most of the char creation and login screens inside this file:

http://crimsonorder.website.pl/gui.zip

I would like to continue my job being n touch with devs responbsible for gui. So, you Arianna and Borrallis, as i know you both work on some parts of gui. Borrallis already helped me a bit although it is harder to catch you ;).

Info about how i edit:
Because of the fact i can\'t do thing as I want, (mainly because of background images description and current style of GUI) some things i left unedited and other small elements are richer by some additions. These would be done better, if 2D dev would be willing to do some very small edits and creative work.

Here i write down few customizaion bugs which i now remember (there are more, but i can never remmeber all, thats is why i need help of some dev who make the code changes and with who i could talk about it ;) )
- Not all scrollbars are customizable. These which appear only when needed, aren\'t. Also these, if not most, take twice as mych space as they should (width)
- background-buttons are needed for text which float in places where it looks weird.
- delete char widget moved by me, for those who don\'t like to click it by accident
- very recent bug with release 0.3.012a (or near it) the too long text like MOTD or tips (loading window) are cuted at some lenght just like that. Text separated with enter isn\'t.
- No way to customize shortcuts window through xmls. Almost every edit end by widged unable to load/crash. It would be good if the window would be same as customizable as most of the xmls.
Same goes for the part of help window with tree.

This aren\'t any serious problems, but should be fixed. I gues these because a lit more important, as this topic has appeared.



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

Running at 1280x1024 full screen and the default GUI font size is too large. Modifying XML files helps.

Way too big, except for the Labels which are too small at the moment. (Except of course that isnt really GUI.)
I usually hide every window except for the chat window, otherwise I simply cant see anything. (Usually run windowed at 800x640).

800x600, The GUI is a bit big and ugly at places. Most of the main toolbar buttons should go to a new \"Escape\" menu like most of the games.
Every one will die in pain except those who were less pain for the others, while they were.....
