In looking through the recent threads I realized that it would be nice if the HUD and game windows would:
- Allow the HUD to shrink down smaller - not just by closing off certain panels, but by making the whole thing shrinkable/minimize-able in the same way the tutorial window could be minimized to a smaller size
- Have the game remember which HUD panels were closed at logout - if I close the panel that shows how much AWD is in my wallet and log out, it's showing again the next time I log in (the same is true for the HP, stamina, toxic, radiation, etc. bars)
- Have all windows remember their positions, sizes, and adjustments - the loot and Personal Informer windows pop up in the same place no matter how often they're moved and the divider in the chat window goes back to the default spot every time too (I think everything else is remembered for the other windows)
- Make the full Map window expandable again - once the Fog Of War is cleared away and the game is much bigger it'll be a real pain to have to keep scrolling around with click+drag
- Make the inventory windows horizontally-expandable, not just vertically - it could show more columns in both views, requiring less scrolling
- Make the Personal Informer horizontally-expandable, not just vertically - group messages beyond a handful of words are cut off, forcing us to scroll through the system message area to see the full message and making the PI window much less useful
- Make the sub-windows in the PI expand with the PI window itself - if I expand the PI window vertically I can see more sub-windows but I can't make the sub-windows any bigger
- Have an option for the UI windows to have much smaller borders - the gray-borders around some windows take up a lot less space and are visually cleaner to me and I'd like to be able to set that for all windows
- Have an option for "Do not show loot window" like the "Do not show PVP warning window" - everything is listed in the system message area anyway and I just end up dragging it off of the screen
Normally I'd start a new thread for each idea, but since they're all related to the in-game UI (and since there's so many ideas) I figured one thread would be better. If the devs prefer that I create separate threads instead, I'm more than willing to do that at their request.
