[RESOLVED] Tiny UI at larger resolutions

Post by Illanair »

Long time player, first time caller here :D

The UI and especially the text is awfully small at resolutions such as 1920x1200 and 1600x900. Is there any way to scale this up a bit? My eyes are getting red from all the squinting.

Thanks in advance,
Illa

Easiest: Play full-screen and select a lower resolution.

More complicated and not yet working properly: Search for Zephyris' OpenGFX+ BigGUI in this forum and change your default font size in your openttd.cfg.

Welcome to the forums!

Following this might help with the text: http://wiki.openttd.org/FAQ_troubleshoo ... ll_to_read

For example, in my openttd.cfg (using windows) I have:

Code: Select all

small_font = Arial Unicode MS
medium_font = Arial Unicode MS
large_font = Arial Unicode MS
small_size = 9
medium_size = 12
large_size = 18

If you are not ready to work a bit for your ideas, it means they don't count much for you.
OpenTTD and Realism? Well... Here are a few thoughs on the matter.

Your sarcasm is not entirely wasted on me - though I could have sworn I gave the Wiki a good look over before I posted. :wink:

But yeah, I'll give it a go and see if it helps. Thanks.
