    Default UI Scale/icon size

    Hi, I've searched and can't seem to find an answer to this, forgive me if its been covered.

    I can only run at 1280x1024 on my TFT monitor (its the monitor, not the GFX card). This means so much of the screen is taken up by icons, frames, quickbars and so forth that I don't have a great deal of 'playspace' and am forever accidentally clicking things on toolbars when I'm trying to select things in the game world.

    is there anything that can be done to make the icons & tool bars etc appear smaller? None of the UI Skins I've seen seem to address this and I can't beleive I'm the only person with this issue.

    I'm particularly worried as I've seen enough screen shots of higher level characters where they have about 12 quickbars all on display that I'm becoming convinced that level of onscreen management is going to be required sooner or later. I can live with the complexity (in many ways I welcome it), but I'm up to 4 on screen and that's it. Any more and I'll have about 4 square inches of space to actually see the game itself!

    Any ideas anyone?

    Default Re-sizing UI

    Hello,

    I have the opposite problem, I recently bought a 4k screen and my res is 3840 x 2160 and my icons are far smaller than I wanted... I'm getting old too and this is not helping either...
    I managed to put the font UI size at 20, but it still looks tiny...

    C'mon Devs!!! we need a re-sizing option... 8 years on the technology world is like in dog years...

    Lets hope they hear us!

    no ui scaling, only dependent on your resolution

    A bit late but the only way to really scale it up is you take the main setting of the tv and yes you can set it to the 4k resolution. However now you need to go to icon size and rescale those to 150% 200% ect. This is going to force DDO to display a set size in window mode, probably 1280x720 or arounds there.

    But to get the full on 1080p and up, ya no your just screwed lol.

    It really is kinda stupid you can scale those bars.
