Everything is so small!

Rankiz · 01-14-10, 07:02 PM

If you look at My new UI and My old UI you will see that EVERYTHING is smaller in the new one , even tho it is the same resolution. Do you know how I can make stuff in the new UI bigger? This is not my UI and I downloaded it from WoW Interface.. Atleast the spellbook, chat, descriptions, even gladius and so on? I have a 24' monitor but I still need everything a little tad larger. Please help.

Best regards

Guess you're UI Scale is lowered, you can try raising it the Video-settings.

Please note that it might mess the UI up royally.

Changing the video setting would mess it up, I need to scale stuff bigger in another way (like spellbook and blizzard friend panel, Random heroic que page). How can I do that without messing the UI?

Scale up the UI, scale down the addons. Also, the second link didn't work for me. The size looked fine on the new interface to me though.

http://i49.tinypic.com/rlx9uw.jpg is his second link, its just linked wrong.

But yeah I agree everything on the new UI looks good, but im probably biased since I like my UI elements small.

You could try MoveAnything! or Chaos Frame Modifier. I've never used either of them but if I recall, they both have the ability to scale individual frames. You would have to modify each frame you wanted bigger individually, but I think for what you want to accomplish that's what you are going to have to do.

You could change the UI scale, but the UI comp you installed most likely changed that for you to the recommended setting for that UI. Changing it would probably cause things to overlap and look sloppy.

My problem is that every Blizzframes like social panel, AH, mailbox, talentree and inspection is to small. Any options to make ALL THIS like 20% bigger or something? That is my problem, and that is my only problem.

PS: Scaling in video settings would **** everything up.

Unfortunately, for the blizzframes that are messed up, you'll either have to get a whole bunch of separate addons (talented for talent tree, any number of mail/auction addons), but most of those are still based off of the default settings with just some modifications made.

For the issue you are dealing with, much as it will be a pain, the only easy solution is to put your UI scale higher and then go into each of your addons and put their scale lower (by the same amount). Yes, it will be a royal pain in the rear, but that is highly likely to be the only option.

Also, it looks like the biggest problem (other than possibly scale), is text size. Maybe using fontain would work better even? Or even delete the fonts folder in your wow directory (not in the interface folder) or even change the font from being what looks like possibly accidental presidency back to the default of fritz quadrant.
