Cool.

- There is now lots of space for everything when I hit it at 90% on my 22'' screen
- I can now save my eyes on my 27" screen by making everything a tad bigger

I personally like to have my modules at the top of the screen, but I've encountered an annoying problem where the notification window covers targets as I align them horizontally. I've switched to vertical for now, but it would be grand if I could move the stupid notification window.

I've been trying this layout for a bit and find that combined with hotkeys, shortcuts and short mouse travel time, it works great. But with targets aligned horizontally, that notification window gets in the way.

P.S.

I think the UI is just old and the whole thing needs a rethink/update. This new addition is nice though.

As someone with good eyesight and never having any problems with the old font, this feature is looking great on SISI. Please add 80%. I love real estate.

Any chance we can get text compression back this time around or not enough time to reimpliment.

I can recommend Dell U2312HM. Got two myself and they're great, not too expensive either! Looking to get a third. Big smile


I recommend glasses.

Scaling is awesome, but is there any chance that we can get the minimum virtual resolution lowered to 720 instead of 768 so that native 720p is an option as well as 1080p with 50% scaling? You can currently trick the client into doing 720p by setting that as the video mode before you start EVE for the first time and then not touching the resolution settings. AFAICT, this seems to work fine, which admittedly isn't what you'd call a thorough QA cycle, but it is some indication that it's feasible.

This devblog was so good that CCP have posted it twice.

(That is what has happened, right guys?)

Is it

"if at first you don't succeed - post, and post, and post again"?

or

"the blog so nice we posted it twice"?




Is there a reason why it's up again today?

maybe this means we're getting more scaling settings?

Awesome work. I comfortably run 110% scaling on my massive 2560 display. My only suggestion is to also update the resolution of the ship icons in the overview. They look super crisp at 100%, yet begin to become blurry and lose their punch at anything over that.

Cheers.

Reeeeepost...

Sad me demands new dev blog, because being an EVE subscriber gives me the default right to demand alot of stuff in an unreasonable manner.

I'm guessing there's supposed to be a new dev blog and they got the ID wrong?
