Lets you scroll or move most windows when playing with big UI scaling.
Makes some more compact.

Also, a tip: to be able to click on buttons with massive tooltips, set your tooltip mode to mouse tendency and increase tooltip delay.

Screenshots are at 130% scaling

The zip file below is only for 1.12 version of the game, in case you have a really old campaign.
Download the newest version from Google Drive above.

Pretty sure I'm not the only one F5'ing this one every few hours.

It does work fine on 1.3 for most things, but I'm pretty sure it's broken on some game mechanic I haven't used yet.

Edit: OK, Dynasty Legacies UI is broken.

Also, it's almost impossible to select some thing on Change Succession Law menu but this issue occured on 1.2.* too

Loading the new version in the game right now for testing. If everything's good, will be up in 20 minutes.

Updated, give it a try

Amazing!

The dynasty legacy UI is much better now, only one minor issue. (SShot 1)

The only major issue is still on the Change Succesion Law UI, the tooltips fully cover the buttons and they can't be pressed. There's a simple workarouund, you have to move the window to the top left of the screen as much as you can, so the tooltips can render below the buttons. (SShot 2)

Both tested on 1080p, 130% scaling.

Thanks a lot!

Right, forgot to reply to that. If you set your tooltip mode to mouse tendency, you can increase tooltip delay. This will help click on buttons with these massive tooltips.

hey, I'm not sure what's happening since I think there was another IU, but this is my current prisoner UI, I can't select the ones in the bottom:

Perhaps this UI changes when there are more than 4 prisoners? Hmm...

oh no. I'll fix it, in a few hours

Fixed. I added a scrollbar and moved the buttons to the top of the portrait.
Also, in legacies, I increased text width for the description and added a tooltip in case it gets cut.

 

[notNSANE]

hi! It me, the annoying person.

So, you latest fix for Prisoner view apparently broke the Court view, it only shows half of it - at least it does when there are less than 4 prisoners. Perhaps it works fine when there are more? I'll try and test it after I post, but will have to start a new game. I'll post a screenshot for the issue in a few minutes.

oh for christ's sake
I forgot to check the other tab. Should be fixed now.

And you're not annoying, you're a very useful playtester.

 

[notNSANE]

yes, me again.

When you moved the buttons at the top of the portrait on Prisoner view , it also moved them on Council, on top of people's faces. Jusr a cosmetic issue tho

Personally I liked them on bottom, if the scrollbar can be kept on Prisoner view, then that's all we need, right?

that actually was like this before, with increased scaling. And I do want to fix it, just haven't gotten around to it.

Hey. The Mod doesn't work at my game. The ui stays the same. What can i do?

How did you install it? Do other mods work for you?

 

[Angry_German]

I used the steam Workshop for installing. I tried the mod with deactivating other mods and combined with them. Nothing Changes.

I can suggest reloading it from the launcher. Or using the Paradox Mods version. Or downloading the zip folder from this thread and installing manually: unzip it to your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mods folder.

The mod is updated to 1.4.

I moved the names to the bottom in the council.
Edit: fixed overlap.

 

[notNSANE]

Unless there's something very wrong with my install, is this current Council View intended?

My suggestion was just move the profession/name bar to the bottom of the people so their faces won't get overlapped with the name, it was a shame not displaying such great models fully. But now the icons are all over the place and the information they provide is very confusing.

I marked the issues (all different) on the portraits 2, 3 and 4 which shows where the info should be located. In the Portrait 1, the issue is different. When you click on the Combo Box, the very top selection (Assist Ruler) is almost non-clickable, only the lower part of the word is. It's a minor issue and not sure if it can be solved currently.

What I think would be the perfect solution would be just the default view, but allowing UI Scaling, even if we have to sacrifice the profession/name bar on bottom which I personally prefer.

the reason I moved things up is to see everything at once whenever you open the Council, without scrolling. Otherwise, things would get cut off for the bottom two characters (at least for me)
I can add a toggle for this.
