I just ran into an issue... at 1280x720 resolution, settings window font size anything larger than "Extra Large" (2x, 3x, ...) makes bust out & New Player screens too large for the screen, and can't resize/move to be readable. May be others, but those are the ones I encountered. Set font size to Extra Large, and everything is readable. Make sense?
Makes perfect sense. The TD has previously always been tailored for 1024x768. It was without a doubt time to break out of that restriction. Long overdue, in fact. The application has been retooled for a more relative sizing. Dialogs and windows are still sized mostly by their "default" font size, and they are sized relative to the font size preference. Those sizings don't really take into account the physical screen size. So, if a dialog is usually 600 pixels high, and the font size is adjusted to the "Extra Large" size making the same dialog 900 pixels high, it doesn't matter that the screen height is 720 pixels. The application simply doesn't take that into consideration... although maybe it should. As it stands today (as of the beta version), the answer to this issue is to lower the font size, thus reducing the dialog dimensions.
To address the conditions you specifically referenced, a 1280x720 resolution would not, I would think, warrant a 2x or larger font size. To be perfectly honest, this feature was mostly a response to much higher screen resolutions (think "retina" resolutions, like 3820x2160). Or even those not quite so dense. With 1024x768, an 8 point font is not so bad. But at 2560x1600 it's difficult to even read. Increasing the default Window font size lead to other issues. But hopefully with this version, you can increase the Windows font size, or you can increase the font size within the TD application, with no adverse effects either way.
So I guess the appropriate response is, if it doesn't fit, try another size. If there are other issue(s) with that, please let me know.
And by the way, thanks for the feedback. This is one of the biggest features of this version. I am really interested in how this feature is received.
