[0.17.2] UI Scale slider doesn't do anything when set to Automatic

[danielbrauer]

I don't expect that the UI Scale slider has any effect when UI Scale is set to Automatic. However, the UI makes it look active and useful:



I think selecting Automatic should fix the slider in place at the the automatically chosen scale:

Or at least disable it, since keeping the last custom value could make sense.

I think it is active and useful: you can look at what the current custom setting is, and change it if desired. You still have to change it to custom if you want that to be your setting though.

Change of the slider should switch to Custom.
Just wondered why the GUI didn't change.

Little QoL improvement.

This. Change of the slider *should* switch to custom. Or else if in auto the slider should not be clickable/movable.

I agree. I hadn't thought much about it on my last post in this thread, but someone else mentioned it so I thought about it more. It should do that.

I believe that it is good as it is (it was exactly like that in 0.16 all the time).

For what it's worth, the reason I posted this issue is because I went into the settings to adjust the scale, saw the big bright scale slider, changed it, and then was confused when nothing happened after I closed the settings.

You also have a pretty clear precedent for this sort of control being driven by another setting, right in the Map Editor:

Not to be rude, but if it was unintuitive in a prior version, that's not a reason to continue with the bad UI design trend.

Thanks for reconsidering!

Changed the custom scale slider in interface settings to be disabled when automatic scale is selected.
