Can I make my icons smaller?

[Alundra (Alunny)]

So I am playing side by side with netflix and it's annoying because the icons are so huge and do not respond to my screen size at all. In fact if I were really playing on 1024xwhatever I wouldn't be able to put floors down at all.

How can I make the icons smaller? I'd prefer them smaller when I am playing on higher resolutions too.

Oh yes, I will just go out and spend $200 on another monitor or $600 on a laptop and then I will go buy a bigger desk to fit either of those on as well lol.

I don't think you can. It's impressive how you treat this as a casual game, you must be a pro.

you could try making netflix run always on top and then just size down its window so it fits in the corener of the screen ? thats how i do it somtimes.

Either that or try your hand at modding low level parts of the game ;)

I think the Australian Netflix must be different to the American one, because I don't think that would work at all.

Everyone plays differently! Netflix is the one with the least attention.

I have no idea how netflix works on pc but iam pretty sure there is a way to make it stay on always on top, you could ask at netflix forums or something.

Also you could try to make poll in some sort of mod request forums on official website maybe someone will make the mod for ye ;p

It's not to do with that, if I resize it it will go too small, they have this weird floating internal window that forces the video to play a certain way over here, it's REALLY annoying.

I'll see if I can do a mod request but really I think this could count as a bug...the interface literally stops vanilla gameplay on certain resolutions by not responding to them or having settings for it, and 1024 is not that small a resolution... hell how many people play games on laptops etc?

I am playing on laptops but most of them start with 1366 nowdays, i dont think many [ee[s are using 1024 anymore.

Also mb try using 'free' sources for movies on pc rather than netflix ;p ppl working for free seem to always get job done better than the ones u paid ^^

Maybe you should install Tor and access Netflix through it - you'll probably no longer register as being in Australia!

Pretty sure UI scaling is planned for A16 or something, that would fix the problem especially if it includes the option to customise.

Thank you! I sure hope so :).

just in case someone is still looking for this in 2022:

on windows look at C:users/(yourusername) /app data/local low/luedonstudios/config/

open the file "Prefs.Xml" in a notepad and change the line with

<uiScale>1</uiScale> (or wateaver scale you're in) to the number you want.
i use 0.75 but 0.8 is more visible so it's a matter of preference.
