[1.5.0] Windows not scaling well with font size over 100%

#1 Post by Marson »

"Added a Font Scaling option to the video menu, from 50% to 300%"

I love this! Looks like a big update with some great stuff!

Unfortunately, with font sizes on "big" and anything over 100%, buttons and text overlap each other on the "new character" screen. I haven't gone further to see any of the other screens yet.

Also, since I'm unable to hit the "cancel" button, and hitting "Esc" key on the keyboard doesn't back out of the new character screen, I need to kill the ToME process from task manager.

I wasn't sure which would be the best approach. I haven't had time to play with it much, just a quick look, but I'll try to get more details in a bit. I have a larger monitor now, so thankfully I don't have to scale up the fonts as much as I did with the addon.

I set the font size to "normal" and scaled at 100%, 150%, and 200%. At 150%, there was overlap on the "Cancel" button, but I could find a spot where I could click it. At 200%, the overlap was complete and I couldn't find a way to click on the button and had to kill the ToME process. This is what I ran into when I was coding my UI mod. Unfortunately my solution was far from elegant.

%200 would be most comfortable for me, but isn't workable right now. I looked at the "Levelup" screen and there was button overlap there as well. Normal/130% looks like it might be the max right now without interfering with buttons. That's workable for me, but the small type on the Levelup screen is a bit squinty.

font scaling also causes an issue on the main menu cutting off text, specially on mine it says "logo" instead of logoff. Although it is not happening anymore, during beta it also caused an issue with the talent screen titles overlapping.
