Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Would love to have an option to enlarge the window controls and the << >> controls on/in the info window/panels by say 50% or upwards to 100% larger controls even) .

On laptops with smaller screens it gets really hard to hit the controls accurately - and I dont want to enlarge ALL of the elements in the screen to 110% or whatever - I just need to be able to hit the window controls (close window - lower window etc. )
All the time wasted missing those buttons gets immensely annoying as well as making it impossible almost to be effective when in fleets or trying to get things done in preparations before a fleet or an OP.

As we get older most of us get far sighted, and sometimes both far sighted AND near sighted (yup - it's actually possible)
not to mention that people who already have vision impairments or disabilities would benefit from it - as well as of course making it possible to play while on a journey or holiday when you dont have the possibility to use a mouse on a flat surface and depend on the touchpad.

if such improvements made it possible for a couple of hundred more players to enjoy EVE online every day, I would have thought it was worth it.

I know it would have made my playing go much smoother even when I have a mouse that is accurate - but it would also be an immensely appreciable addition to making it possible to play say on trains, or anywhere where you have to actually keep your laptop in your lap and have no flat space or place to set up a mouse.

It would also make it easier for anyone to hit and not miss the controls and thus would make everyone more efficient, and remove some annoyance - not to mention of course how much faster it would be able to work and thus buy and sell etc - every operation would go that much faster and the imagery and graphics would not suffer as they do when you enlarge ALL components with the already existing option.


Just something I would have loved to see, and feel would benefit all - as well as get CCP more usage and thus more income - I would think that every little bit helps if you can do a hundred such small improvements - the combined economic impact should be felt.

It's just a suggestion - I have of course no idea how feasible it is or how much work it would take and or if it would impact too much of the rest of the graphics so I'm not pushing this with any "fervor" or anything.

Just hoping it was possible to add as an option for all those of us who no longer have the eyesight of a 20 year old...
