UI Size option

from GalCiv3 Forums

Long time fan of GC (1 and 2).  Great games, and this one is looking good so far (especially for alpha). 

I tried the "UI Size" option from within the graphics options, as the default "small" size is a little too small for me at 2560 X 1600.  However, the "Large" option makes the UI HUGE...lol.  Is it possible to eventually have a "Medium" option, which would be something right in the middle between the 2?  Also, you may want to have a pop up or something that says "a restart of the game is needed for the UI changes to be applied," as when I first changed it, didn't see any affect.  It was only when I restarted the game later on, that I saw the larger UI.  Thanks!

Yeah, I love that Stardock is implementing UI scaling in this game but it wouldn't hurt to have an option between 0 scaling and the current scaling solution.  A UI slider like in some Blizzard games and Wasteland 2 would be lovely.

Russ88, I agree and came here to post the same thing!  Also running 2560x1600.  The clarity of the Large option is fantastic, just too large.  As you say, a Medium option or a slider as epmode mentioned would be great.

Im running 1920x 1200 and the large UI option results in verious UI elements kind of overlapping. It is not really usable.  I wish it was though as I feel the regular UI could be slightly fatter even at my resolution.

I just hope they see these comments.  :)  Hopefully it won't be too difficult for them to code for a medium size UI or for a slider option.

From a post by Mormegil on the Steam-forums:

Thats not a bug, Large UI is meant for UHD, and 4k. We will have a medium size UI in a future build.
