New feature.... squashed target info box

Mar 25, 2009 PaKettle link
This mornings update led to the target information box being squashed. Judging from the amount and type of squash I think it is because I have an ancient monitor and not one of those W I D E screen ones...

If you dont want to fix it let me know so I can justify replacing this relic with something nicer.....Really, I want you to drop support for this thing, Its horrible but I just dont have a real reason to dump it....

Please! I need a new monitor!

After i checked the check box my target box was swished too. Also part of the chat box is cut off.

I have an 18" monitor and i'm using the targetless plug in.

PICS: (the yellow "line" is the target box)

I play on a 15inch macbook with the 4:3 turned off the ship info box is not lining up with the left side of the screen.

My screen looks like peytros. I had targetless installed, uninstalled it.. same thing. Running at 1024x768 windowed btw.

Yes, the resizing of the targetinfo box seems silly to me, but maybe it has features I'm unaware of, but the resize is from the VO update not form the targetless update... Anyhow, for now I've set targetless to resize those boxes, as it needs the room anyways... If you are still having problems download targetless again and it will put that whole area back to QUARTER screen size. Use at your own risk :p

(Obligatory me too!)

I'm running 1024x768 windowed on a Linux amd64 system, target box is about half-width and chops off useful info. Not running targetless or any other HUD-modifying skin. Has suddenly appeared since the update overnight. Very annoying.

The targetless update does a good job of covering up the problem except the tiny mining bars....

Yeah, maybe targetless does a good job of covering this up, but its nothing to do with targetless.

I do not use it, and my target box looks like this



4:3 aspect ratio bug maybe?

Solitary, please install the new targetless version ( 1.7.5 from http://targetless.com ) to solve the problem. More permanent fixes to whatever the devs do about this will be posted in a new version again on the weekend.
