Any UI mods or tweaks to make the UI bigger? I am a "mouse clicker" and just got a nice big 24" 1080p monitor... game looks nice ... but UI looks like its for mice. I am trying to avoid redoing resolution. Any tips or suggestions wouldd be welcome. Thanks

You sure it wouldn't be easier to just use keys?

run daoc in windowed mode.

Then you'll have to run another program located in:

%windir%\system32\magnify.exe

problem solved.

A bit OT but may I ask what resolution you are playing on with that monitor? I just ordered a new computer with a same size monitor and I was wondering if you could run Daoc at 1920*1080. I'm not sure what the game's max resolution is.

Cheers.

Native resolution on a 24inch is 1920x1200. I end up running my windowed DAOC @ 1600x1024, I like running chat or vent on the right while gaming.

Thank you, but will Daoc run at 1920*1200/1080 if someone wanted to? I think years ago this was not possible and when the game came out not many ran that resolution anyway.

i run daoc at 1920*1200, window mode, 26'' tft. No problem at all. I even recommend it, so your taskbars arent blocking your entire screen.

Glad to hear that it will work fine on my new incoming 24" monitor at its native resolution. I'm tired of playing on my 15" laptop screen
Can't see anything as you say: chat windows, group windows and hotbars block about 25% of my screen and at night it's atrocious I can't see anything.
