Hiya, I was hoping that this solved the width issue, but it didn't. Maybe I wasn't completely clear.



  • If you open your market window, you have the browser on the left.
  • If you resize the entire window, this browser stays the same width. (Unless I select it and make wider)

  • If I open my character sheet, you have the "browser" on the left under your portrait.
  • If I resize the entire window, this browser stays the same width. (Unless I select it and make wider)

  • If I open my mail, you've got the "inboxes" on the left.
  • If I resize the entire mail window, this browser(inboxes list) stays the same size. (Unless I select it and make wider)

Same goes for, people and places, corp & alliance contacts, available contracts.

But for some reason the Browserindex of the Unified Inventory scales with the width of the entire window if you resize the window.

I would like this browser/index to stay the same width when the entire window is resized, and let its horizontal resizing be "optional" instead of forced. I mean, the height of the filters stays the same. Please also do this for the width of this column.

It is especially annoying if you have a char with a long name, and want to distiguish ships quickly.

For instance:
Jake's Arbitrator
Jake's Velator

Would be fine with a tight width browser.. but if your char is called:
General Luther Stargazer's Arbitrator
General Luther Stargazer's Velator

You kinda get the reason why I want to have it a fixed window width decided by the user, instead of the scale relative to the window resizing.

You're completely missing the point. I'll explain.

I have all my ships renamed to 6 letters approximately.
The example was merely to show CCP that with their own default shipnaming its a hassle and dumb.

With all my ships renamed to 6 letters, I can keep the browser as narrow as possible. But as soon as I resize the Unified Inventory. The browser grows in width again. For no reason at all, as the idea behind the resize is to actually make my inventory overview bigger, and not the browser.

It stays the exact percentage of what the width was pre-width modification.

well why do you keep resizing it anyway? the only time i resize mine is if i resize the whole eve window, otherwise i just minimize it.
