Bigger X to close windows

Post by PhrozenFox »

You have to admit, it is the smallest X you've ever seen.

Post screenshots of smaller ones

No but joking aside. I've spent more time accidentally clicking the ground than closing windows.

I like free stuff so please keep it in the claim or I might claim it myself. Fair warning anybody could do it :P

ESC key should close the active window.

But I'm with you for a bigger close button.

+1

Definitely a suggestion I can get behind. The difference doesn't even need to be that large at all to be significant.

ESC just brings my actions menu back to the beginning. It closes a couple windows first though.

I definitely have to click most of them, and it's very very frustrating when I click to close something and I run headfirst into a badger.

Who closes windows with x?
Use key combinations

I can't remember all of them, all the game mechanics, recipies, etcetc.

Also, sometimes I like to play the game with one hand. Use your imagination. It's a game with a LOOOOOT of downtime.

It's kind of beside the point. Just because it's more convenient to do it other ways doesn't mean that it should remain as it is. Any improvement to usability for the client, however minor, is nice.

I agree!

"My scissors need to have the screw put back in, it's a simple procedure, but I'll just try to hold them together"

That's how I feel about that.

It's not like it's something IRL that you can't change. You NEED a job, you need to eat, etc. The x doesn't need to be that small. Infact, many people believe it would be much nicer if it was a little larger.

Play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 for a while. The x's are twice as big and still a huge pain.
