Pregame Lobby and Mini Map Suggestions

Post by AndrewJP »

In the pregame lobby there are three blue boxes. One for the game settings, another for the players and a third box on the bottom for chat. The three boxes are really small if you think about it. It would be cool if you could increase all there sizes and add a scroll for the chat so you can see past things that were typed.

Unless you enlarge your mini map in the bottom right hand corner its really hard to see the colors (units and structures). If the colors could be more bright or a neon type color maybe it might be more easy to see them.

But, I do not want to play at that resolution. I want to play at 1920 x 1200.

Well i believe this topic has been discussed elsewhere and the outcome AFAIK is that it should dynamically resize the controls

Right, now someone go make a svg renderer that works on all platforms, and won't require tons of external libs.
and it ends here.

Hmm. Just a guess: is this legendary Qt branch supposed to help with it as well?
