Europa Universalis IV

Stellaris UI Font
Question 18 Jun, 2020 @ 10:03am
Did you guys make the font size smaller in 1.30?
Im comparing the 1.29 version of the mod with the 1.30 version and the 1.30 version seems smaller. Im not sure whats different exactly, but just opening 1.30 and looking at the screen gives me a headache...like something is "wrong" with it. I get the same effect in vanilla 1.29 as well, but not with the 1.29 stellaris UI mod.

What did you guys change other than adding support for the new localizations?

To me some labels seem smaller, like in Diplomacy or province view. I use 2x scale. It seems to me that font in UI is smaller cause it can overflow over the text boxes. Tooltips seem bigger.

The mod isn't just a font swap, because that would mean badly positioned text everywhere. It edits nearly all of the GUI files in the game by this point. This mean that every update I have to manually go through thousands of changes line by line that PDX make to the game, and replicate that change into the mod.

Some changes are easy and some GUI have very little change. Sometimes though a GUI changes so completely that it's not worth trying to integrate changes into the mod and easier just to start that GUI from scratch.

1.30 was a large update in terms of GUI changes and these views are basically to be considered WIP.
- Diplomacy
- Estates
- Stability
- HRE
- Papacy
- Macrobuilder

Tooltips did not change.

I agree. I am currently editing the BiggerUI mod to work with StellarisUI. And mostly these changes are of my concern also.

Atm my work is almost done - but remains private until I receive permissions from both ross-g and the BiggerUI author.

@JoeRifle - No problem on permissions from me, mod away! Post a link when it's up and I'll add it to the description.
