Legally blind player needs advice re: relic / data hacking

TL;DR: Can-hacking window now covers up local despite my best efforts at screen arrangement. Looking for ideas without making anything smaller.


First, let me say that CCP has done an amazing job of placing a vast amount of real-time information, all at once, on the same screen. Kudos to the Eve UI designers, past and present. Configurable. Simple. Thorough. A+ job folks.

As someone with low vision, given ANY piece of software, there is a constant technology battle I must fight:
- Running the display at a near-stupid low resolution <- VS -> fitting as much as I can on the screen

For a long time, Eve (for me) has ridden right in the dangerous-sweet spot of being able to see everything I need with nice layouts, but being JUST big enough for me to read / see symbols and fonts.

Sometime during the last 6 months, for relic / data site hacking, my local window is now covered up by the higher-difficulty cans in null-sec. (Lower difficulty cans == smaller board == smaller window == no problems.) I am constantly having to drag the hacking window back and forth to see nodes on the edges, vs. see if anyone's in local.

So if some of you kind, helpful folks could tell me what information I can get to you, I'll try to do so, and maybe we can come up with a working solution? As far as I can tell, the hacking windows are not resizable.

Thank you so much!

Maybe you can spend few bucks for another screen? Having a lot of info on separate screen would have a lot of advantages beside visible local.
