What's so hard about running in a classic or at least non-massive resolution? I run 1024x768, windowed mode, but sized full-screen top-to-bottom (no dinky little window). I keep reading posts from people who act as though they're wholly incapable of changing resolutions. Is that a problem on some PC's? My monitor supports at least up to 1920x1080 (kind of an industry standard dimension), maybe higher, but I don't use it for P99. I don't expect old games to work all that well on resolutions that weren't even invented yet when they were created.
There are people playing this on laptops, and in some cases on notebooks. At least a few users have tried running it on tablets. All sorts of people play here. The notion of putting together a team and building a scaled-up UI has some merit, but I agree with Wenai it would make no sense to cater only to the top-end. Anyone can play, even if with a little difficulty, with the current option. Catering solely to the top-end as the only option would mean a portion of users couldn't play at all, which is clearly worse.

No one is asking to cater solely to the top end. But neither is 1920x1080 "top end." It's what most people who come to p99 for the first time to play green are going to be trying to do. Asking them to do weird stuff or suffer because the UI was designed for a minimum resolution of 640x480 is stupid.
It's one thing to say "yes the UI would ideally be larger" but it's hard to do (and we're only making it harder by adding textures)
It's another to say "the UI scale is currently fine and need no changes" which is delusional.
The minimum solution, if the project were to seek one, would be to scale the resolution so that it looks good on the common resolution, but still works (but is a bit large) on the minimum resolution. That's classic.

Hey man, you got anything to actually contribute or here to literally be a waste of (post per page)space?
