[Feature Request] Improve scaling on vertical monitors

Open maxinfet opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

I have two monitors setup in a vertical orientation and the scaling makes it some what hard to use and leaves a lot of dead space, It would be nice if the information on the left was moved to the top so that move of the technologies fit on the screen. Also it seems like the icons could be a little smaller in vertical orientation like this.

I guess the issue is that currently the text scales independently of the unit box. This also results in text overflowing when it is scaled down on smaller screens.

I had proposed a possible solution here: https://github.com/SiegeEngineers/aoe2techtree/issues/45#issuecomment-626168068

As for moving the information on the left to the top: I do not think such a big layout change fits this particular project, which mainly tries to mimic the in-game horizontal-scrolling tech tree.

@maxinfet You may try https://app.aoe2companion.com/civ/Aztecs if you use your monitor vertically.

@denniske Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my old post. That is an amazing site and I will definitely be using it. No offense to this project, it is very nice on my middle or top monitor but my two side monitors are vertical so the site you linked works a lot better for me.
