1920x1080

Strato · 09-30-09, 05:00 AM

I´ve been using nUI+ for a long time now on a 17" monitor @ 1280x1024 resolution and all was perfect...until a changed my monitor to a 22" 1920x1080, and nUI+ became "unusable".

I´ve tried following this tutorial (http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=20917) but somehow i can´t manage to put nUI+ @ a right scale to be playable...all is to big...will it be possible, or will it a be easier on upcoming version 6.00 to manage nUI+ on bigger widescreen monitors? If so will gladly wait for the next version...if not...can someone, or even you Scott

send me a nui.lua file optimized to 1920x1080? I´m using another UI @ the moment and it´s freaking me out...i´m so in need of nUI+ again...it´s the best!

Tnx in advance!

What do you mean by unusable?

Scaling as far as I am aware is done based on resolution to make the buttons square. I too noticed that contrary to my thoughts the larger the screen size you use the larger area nUI took up.

My UK set up uses a 17in monitor on 1280x1024 and to me its a perfect proportion with nUI. My US set up uses a 22in monitor with a larger resolution that I can't remember and may well be widescreen to boot and to me it seemed like nUI filled half the screen.

Maybe its the way the scaling is working but I had always thought the larger the screen the larger the free space as the interface shouldn't need to be enlarged to fit.

EG. Using some example screen sets

800x600 - UI space 800x200 ( 3rd of the height )
1024x768 - UI Space 1024 x 256 ( 3rd of the height )
1280x1024 - UI Space 1280 x 342 ( 3rd of the height )

And to make the UI so it doesn't stretch out due to increased width ? Make the chat window and info panel screens longer. And if possible have them flexible so that people that like to have more chat can do so and those that want the bigger info panels can also do so and have the main center part of the interface a fixed size based on the smallest resolution people will be playing on. Most people will be on 1024x768 and you could get away with that as a minimal setting or at worst downgrade to 800x600 as the minimal setting.

Just an idea mind you but theoretically it will give people want they want more real estate for game play but the use of a great UI they really want to use but their screen set up is too big for it.

As to the action bar buttons on the bottom left and right. Perhaps add extra buttons to fill the spot ( if its possible to do that with the new action button setup I believe you were planning ).

Might be beating a dead horse here, since the last replay is 3 months old, but....

I have 2 questions:

32" monitor here. Its only 1080i, so the fonts kinda look broken up at times. I've forced it into 1080p, however, fonts were no clearer. nUI takes up ALOT of the screen space, which is both good and bad. I can actually see the font better that way. With a way to increase the fonts, easier than scaling, I've turned my attention to maybe scaling the UI for 1080. I had a thought, and I'm just running this by you, if I set my UI scale in the interface menu from the Blizzard ESC menu, to say, .5, and then log out of the game completely, install nUI, boot up, will the ui still not go from 1 side to another, etc? I hope that made sense. I'm just trying to avoid having to edit files, log in, log out, edit, rinse/repeat till its right.

Second question is off topic: How do I open up more hotbars? I like to have 2 bars on the right side of my hud with my combat stuff in it, but can't seem to fiind anywhere that allows me to open up more hotbars.

Thanx for the time.
