UIScale  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0
by: Phewx2 [More]

UIScale offers the possibility to set the size of the whole Interface independent of the Video Options.

How to:

- Open the UIScale.lua
- go to line 4
- change the value

- default is 0.6
- no limits! (a value between 0.000000000000001~ and 99999.0~)

- You can configure the addon while ingame. Change the scale and type /reload ingame and
the addon will be loaded with the new settings.
- You can use the command /script UIParent:SetScale(x.x) if you're looking for the right value for your settings.

I found this does not work well for some addons after a reloadui (Grid2 and Shadowed Unit Frames), for those you need to call the UIParent:SetScale(0.5) on PLAYER_LOGIN event.

Sorry for the late reply.
I'd recommend playing Windowed (Fullscreen), this doesn't cause any problems.

No, this is not intended but also not caused by the addon. That's in Blizzard's hands, not mine.
Sorry if it causes you trouble, but I won't be able to help you with that.

i have something like this also within my own Project, yes he is correct you can set it to whatever you want, it will Scale, However, it will also effect Every Addon you have installed, im catching flack by people wanting to use my pack but then complaining that they need to re-setup all their other stuff, maybe you can do as i did and just add a little disclaimer telling people they will need to adjust everything after they activate/change setting within this mod

for such a little piece of code, sure is handy, nice work man.

Oh sorry, that shouldn't be in there.
That's a command for Fortexorcist to update all frames, so timers and bars get back to their correct position after scaling your ui down.

I... Love... You.

I use BornabeUI now on a 17" MacBook Pro, with a 1920x1200 resolution... and when I'm at home I connected my MBP to a 27" ThunderBolt Display with a resolution of 2560x1440... well, you can see the problem right there, lol.

Your add-on has saved me both the hassle of not having you create two entirely separate WTF folders / settings... but also the hassle of having no clue how to fix my own personal problem... and as a perk, is now helping several of my multi-resolutin or oddball resolution users scale things above or below Blizzard's slider limitations in the options.

Thank you so much! I simply made a macro with the /script UIParent:SetScale(0.576) for my 17" display and use the Blizz default one for when I'm on my 27". You pwn me right now.

I don't get it either. If they don't believe it, why bash it without trying it first. What a bunch of N00B's

I would provide screenshots, but why would I want to go through all that work. When they could just try it.

I got on just to say thx for the addon. I run dual monitors one on top of the other with a Custom resolution as Blizzard calls it, (1920x2328 with bezel compensation). and because of the aspect the scaling option doesn't go low enough.

Thanks again couldn't play without it!
Well I could but I would be stuck moving my cursor to the side in order to get to the top screen. Thats what I was doing before your addon.

chances are that the 0.64 limit is hardcoded in the client and that any value lower then it will be ignored and set itself to 0.64 anyway
I don't get it...is this addon so unbelievable?
