Scale problems

Hey there,

 

Anyone know a addon that can make you scale smaller then you can make it with WOWs interface?

I just want it smaller then it is, so if anyone know a addon or any other way to fix it, that would be cool.

Thank you

Already built into the game. While ingame hit Escape > Video > and set your "UI scale" there.

See my "Thread to end all threads thread" for the answer to your question!

Yeah i know that one :P

 

But i wanted to know if there were another addon that maybe could make it even smaller then the one in the game can.

OMG really? LOL.... Hmmm... I'm not sure if there is an addon that covers the entire UI.

 

Now that I think of it what resolution are you playing in? You can change that. By increasing the resolution you will effectively reduce the UI scale. With the side effect though of also reducing the overall world scale too, but it's an option.

I play in 1680x1050 (Wide)

 

I can't get any higher then that, maybe you know a addon that can make that even higher? :P

LOL what are you trying to fit on your screen. I only play in 1280 x 1024 and have plenty of room. You could always try a viewport mod. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php

Also do not try to go above yout monitors max resolution. I have to assume that you are at it. You can run the risk of damaging your monitor.

a viewport mod would shrink the viewing area of the 3d world but it will not affect UI elements.  UI elements such as the minimap, bars, unit frames, etc would all be their normal size since they can be placed *on top* of the viewport.

Yea, I am thinking that the UI elements will get only so small. At his resolution it should be 'tiny' so I was thinking that he wanted more of the screen that is not being hidden by the UI so I suggested the viewport mod, which works great in some UI setups and not so well in others.

So you don't know a thing that maybe could make everything smaller? all my addons and stuff, all in one?

Nope, and there will be a limit on how small things get. I am really curious though. What are you trying to fit on your screen that is too big? You may want to consider reducing the amount of 'stuff' on your screen. Lots or addons displays can be toggled on and off with a simple keybind. Try reducing the number of action bars and buttons that you have displayed at any one time. Most ab addons have an option to hide a bar until mouseover or on keybind. I'm just trying to give you some idea about what you can do :) Also what exact elements are you finding that can not be reduced any further? There may be ways progromatically to reduce their size more.
