Customizable XGUI Size

(1/3) > >>

PAL-18:
My screen resolution is low (1024x768, it has to be cause i have vision problems) and as a result the XGUI cuts off a lot of information.

Can you make it so that its size can be customized?  Some kind of setting in config.txt that can increase its size percentage wise.

JamminR:
Yes Stickly man, Please.
Make it adjustable for us vision impaired people.

- Pal, though surgery helped immensely, along with time to heal after, I once was (seemingly) worse off than you are now...used to HAVE to use 640x480 and a magnifier to see screen print on a, at the time HUGE, 19" CRT. That was late 90s. I've been diabetic for 35 years. 15 of those, I didn't take care/monitor my glucose levels. It caught up. Though I will never have the vision I did, I've come far, and will never take another sight for granted.
Every once in a while, you'll see me fuss about large signature images. It's because I use a high contrast Windows theme, yellow on black, and the images just stand out/take up a LOT of extra space my eyes find distracting when trying to converse.
:)

PAL-18:
Can't do surgery cause i suffer from extremely dry eyes and i have sensitive eyes so i cant use regular eye drops with preservatives (i use around 5 to 8 ampule containers per day and each ampule contains 0.4ml of eye drop).  I also can't wear glasses for long periods of time because they trigger intense debilitating migraines.

Also let this be a lesson to everyone.  Playing too long on the computer will screw up your eyes.  I used to have 20/20 vision and now my long range vision is so bad, everything beyond 3 feet is blurry.  I can't read street signs unless im really close  :-\

this probably would cause a bunch of bork but as long as you used a parented xgui it probably is not that hard to add support i have no idea where the xgui  derma stuff is so i'm going to look for it :)
Ps: found it
Pss: ignore above it WILL be annoying to add support.
would have to use scaleing in the gui with Panel:GetWide( ) and Panel:GetTall( ) to re set up sizes

Stickly Man!:
Unfortunately, XGUI is pretty much designed to be a fixed size. Garry added some interesting new Derma (or rather, GWEN) features that allow for more responsive UI designs that would make it a lot easier to do automatic resizing and things.. but, it would be a lot of work to implement.

I do however have plans to make a sort of "quick-menu" (Assmod-style, or whatever) to access common ULX/XGUI commands and features without having to go through the main XGUI menu. All I need is a bucketload of free time :P
