Separation of UI Scaling and Console Text Scaling
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2023 8:24 pm
Currently, the UI scaling is all bound together under a single "UI scale" slider. This also scales the text for the console, which poses a bit of a problem at higher resolution.
When playing with a mod like LTN, the dispatcher will throw text warnings out into the console. The actual size of the font is quite large relative to the entire screen, so it can clutter the screen quite quickly. If I set the UI scaling to 100% to reduce the text size, the rest of the UI scales down so much that it's difficult to read and interact with.
I've attached a few example images to show what it's like for 3840x2160 (windowed).

I prefer to play with the UI set to 150%, but I really dislike how much of the screen the console takes up, especially when a lot of messages come in. I'd like to have more control over that text so that I can make it smaller overall. I definitely don't want to just turn off the features that use them, since that's a crucial part of the gameplay.
