UI customization suggestions

Post by NamelessFairy » #594660

With the recent removal of the status bar a few issues with the game UI has become apparent to me which I'd like to see some progress to improving.

The removal of the status bar means that the screentips are basically essential but at current the only customization we have over them is color.
At a bare minimum I think it would be highly beneficial for players to be able to customize:
  • Location (Corners, Side of screen, etc).
    Offset position (For more fine tuning)
    Size.
In addition, further customization like being able to have the text to display inside a black or white text box would be nice for extra visibility, but is a less critical suggestion.

The other area which I think needs some customization is the verb menu, just simply being able to customize the the text size of verb buttons would be nice. But ideally I'd like to be able to customize the bounding box they are held in, this should allow customization of how many columns buttons are split into without rendering the buttons too small.

I'll make it clear that I am NOT a coder and don't know how realistic these suggestions would be.
