I have alts that sit in local as scouts on multiple screens. It is hard to see if nuets come into local on the normal screen and was wondering if there was a way to have just the local window show larger icons/characters? Thanks.

If you select all players in the list, as new players come into local, the new ones will not be highlighted. It's not uncommon to see 200 new people in local within a few minutes.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

You can increase the font size of individual chat windows. You can also try UI scaling at a higher percentage. I know you said "just local", but if the screen is used "just" for scouting, UI scaling is not a bad option

This ^
Just set your local window to "compact" mode or whatever it's called, and do what Ero said and click the list of people, then Ctrl-A, that way it's super easy to track new neuts.

You could always drag it apart from other chat logs and resize it.

I hear Viagara will enlarge just about anything.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

In a world, where people call out for its removal, one man dares to ask "how do I make Local chat BIGGER?"




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Select one person in local press cntrl A it will highlight the entire local. Someone new comes in it changes.
