If you have a Windows computer, you should be able to change the label sizes here:
Program Files > Planeshift Steel Blue > data > effects > misc > label
When you get to "label", make sure you open the file with notepad. After that, while you're looking at the mess of data in notepad, look for where it says:
labelwidth="2"
All you have to do is change the labelwidth to 1 (or whatever you're comfortable with), and you won't have to deal with labels being smeared up against your screen anymore. If you're doing this while ingame, you have to relog in order for it to take effect. Also, it won't make the text skinny or anything; width is referring to both the height and width for some reason.
