Scaling down the UI

Also, can you make it so that it scales third party ui such as the commander hud?

Erm, maybe. I could probably apply zoom to the floating frame framework mod (which is used by the comm hud). Hopefully that won't mess up anything.

I just looked at the code on github, and if I am understanding this correctly, all it took was a css file dictating zoom = .7?

Well, that and figuring out which scenes need to be scaled and which not (see modinfo.json). Also, the positioning of the menus during the game is messed up and for some reason the transit screen gets magnified. I haven't had time yet to work more on this.

So would removing the "transit=..." line temporary solve the transit scene problem. Also is there a documentation on which scene is which

That didn't seem to matter. It's kind of weird.
And no, there is no documentation of the scenes. I just use "grep -R loadMod media/ui/game" to find them all. That's for Linux and Mac though. There may be an equivalent for that in Windows if you use that.

That however doesn't fix the main issue with the main game view, as that view is more complicated.
Or does it?

are you nuts? no, no grep has no real windows equivalent.

i said equivalent

this thing must be perf tested and compared. no way it can do it as fast.

Oh, shush, you've just been schooled! Ha!

I'm genuinely surprised TBH, seems like something windows pulled right out of it's ***. never expected cmd to have such a handy command.

my experience with cmd thus far is "you can't do this", "you can't do this either", "nooope", "no way"

As I understand it the power shell that Windows introduced at some point made it a lot more powerful. Was that Windows 7? I don't remember. But I say that without having ever touched it of course.

it didn't change cmd. it's a completely seperate program. yes any tech-savy windows user would much rather use powershell than cmd.

powershell is still below some other forms of upgraded powershell, whose names i don't remember but even those are still decades behind terminal.

How well does PA's UI scale up? I recently ordered a 40" 4K monitor.

Just to let you know, there is a known issue with 4k monitors not displaying fullscreen.

"monitor"
television.

I have a laptop with a 3200 by 1800 display, UI scaling is a huge problem for most programs that I run, it's horrible. Some buttons are really small, sometimes the window is scaled up but not the window's contents, it really is atrocious. It'll be a few years before resolutions higher than 1080p start to gain serious ground for desktop monitors, namely, when programmers start updating their programs' UIs for such resolutions. And, of course, when affordable GPUs can process 4k content with reasonable speed. A $300 card will run even the most graphically intensive games at very good performance (really, the only reason why you'd want a more expensive card is for recording, 4k, or for 120hz monitors), but only up to 1080p, any higher and it quickly becomes terrible.

That's why I'm looking at 40" 4k, because it doesn't require scaling. The PPI is about the same as in 27" 1440p.

P.S. The panel may be the same as in a television, but the electronics is that of a monitor (so the input lag is low etc.), so it's considered a monitor.

So? My television has a 'gaming mode' that reduces input lag to that of a monitor, does that make it a monitor?

Too me the thing that always differentiated a monitor from a TV was a TV had its own internal sound without needing speakers. But i guess the lines have been blurred.

If it has the tech of a monitor alone it is a large monitor, just as there can be small TVs.
