UI: Double size

Postby theTrav » Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:15 am

:fs 1 is great, but I really like playing and browsing the forums at the same time.

Unforunately my laptops native res is pretty high, so the 800x600 window only takes up about 4 square inches and everything is really hard to see and click on.

Loftar would it take you long to implement something like :resmultiplier n where n is an integer and it just stretches the window? Bonus points if n can be a double/float.

Psht, bonus points if he can make it work on a 1440x900 screen.

Lol, is that a request for widescreen support?

I always have a bit of a laugh when fullscreen on my laptop turns everyone into chubby little kids :P

I just hope it wont become some stretchy shit like :fs1 and it just expands the view. I'd hate to have the option to scale it up, but destroy the native resolution. I will never scale my pixels!

Why not? Pixels are beautiful.
The bigger, the better.

I have a rule of thumb; If you can't count them, they're too small.

Anyone who has played Noctis would know just how stunningly beautiful large pixels can be. :3

as long as they are sharp and clear it's all good. but what happens to h&h when you fullscreen it just ruins it.

just downscale your monitor resolution until the h&h window fills most of your screen
