Messages in 1920x1200 are in too small font

July 16, 2007 5:23:21 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I've been using the 1920x1200 mode - works pretty well. Only problem is the messages that appear on the top left of the screen are in a really small font (bold too?) with a shadow that makes it even worse. My eyes aren't the best but I can read everything else I think. Turn the shadow off and rack it up one or two points please!

I run at 1920x1200 and I can read the messages fine. Perhaps your screen is too small to clearly make them out? I used to have a laptop with a 17" screen that ran natively at 1920x1200, but everything was so damned small it hurt your eyes.

Here's a screenshot I took:

1920x1200 should only really be used on larger monitors....

I'm on a laptop with bit less than 17in monitor. It is stretching it I suppose

I guess I don't have to use that resolution, but that is the only thing I have trouble with. I like to get all the real-estate.

Scaling sliders for fonts, and the interface in general, would be a nice UI improvement. Try the game at 2560 x 1600 on a 30" screen. I probably see 1 in 5 of the messages.

Icons need work too - unreadable even at 1024x768 or 1280x1024
