Journal size

Can I make Journal window bigger?

Font size is good enough for me, but Journal windows is too small.
I've looked in settings.cfg but find nothing about Journal window's size.

My resolutions: 1920*1080
Ubuntu 15.04
OpenMW 0.36.1

In the settings.cfg file you will see "scaling factor = 1.0" - it scales the effective resolution of the MyGUI layer.

I've found full list of available settings:
https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/m ... efault.cfg

I've added to GUI section (there was no such line):

Code: Select all

scaling factor = 2.0
But I don't see any difference.

Can it be my OpenMW version (0.36.1) is not support the scaling factor yet?

The support of the scaling factor came in the master at the same time as the OSG rendering.

If you have the 0.36.1 as released, it's not there.

No version with OSG have been already release tody, but you can find plenty of nighlty build for several OS that ar using OSG and have the scaling of UI implemented

Just tried that with a 1680x1050 screen :
scale factor = 2.0 is excellent for books and journal, but it's quite bad for the general gui screens, and horrible for the character status screen !
Maybe there should be a setting for books only, and maybe something to compute the scaling based on the resolution...
I might try to make a patch for that...

Create of new Feature on the bug tracker named : "Independant scaling factor for books" developpers will see it, and may code it.

If somebody make it before you, it's all bonus, if you do it it will be a good way to inform people that it's done

It's done, but it's not anymore just a "scaling factor for books". Morrowind does this automatically in its vanilla version, it just resizes everything to read to the full resolution, so that's what the patch does, automatic resizing of books, scrolls, and journal.
I'll submit this ! (it was longer to do than what I hoped, but anyway it works well now).
It adapts to the resolution used and to the gui scaling factor.
