Hi
Old days no-one need a bigger ui (CRT ftw) but nowadays it looks really tiny on a 23" full hd resolution....

Is there a way, to scale it up a bit - about 200% maybe?
Or get my eyes so bad since 2003 XD


Cheers Sardaukai

The chat/system window can be scaled by increasing the font size.

Other UI windows like stats window/group window/healers helper/etc could maybe be scaled by simply
creating a new scaled custom UI with enlarged UI elements like images, backgrounds and borders.
Maybe one of the UI modders can comment on this.

A problem would be everything icon related (buff+debuff bar/hotbars/inventory/etc).
I dont think icons can be made bigger since the size is inside the client itself. I could be wrong though.
I don't think someone put much work/research into this yet.

Sadly even if BS would solve it in a future client version this would not be supported easily most shards.

hi.

i have an 25" 2560x1440 Monitor and Play DAoC with an 1280x720 Resolution.

thats exactily the half of the native Monitor Resolution, so you will not have any blurry effects.

with this "trick" all Icons are bigger and better to see for older Players like me.

after some changes with bob's UI my UI Looks really good now.
