📋 About This Mod

Done some testing and playing, and so far no errors with Dragon's Gambit. I'll keep playing, but if you find any, please report them. Thanks!

Re-anchoring and sizing UI elements so that they sit in the middle of the monitor.

At this point most UI and HUD elements should be moved and resized. I am playing through the game to try and identify anything else I'm missing, so please let me know in the comments or discussion areas if you find something broken.

There are 6 versions of this mod, Full UI Overhaul, and Mech HUD Only, each with 48:9, 32:9, and 21:9 versions.

Full UI Overhaul changes all of the vanilla menus and HUDs to anchor to the center of the screen. This can conflict with many popular mods as they also change (or replace) vanilla menu elements. This mod does load first by default, though, so you can generally just "accept" the conflicts and everything should work. My changes will load first and then the other mods changes (like YAML) will overwrite my changes with theirs. This can result in inconsistent centering vs. stretching of menus, but you'll get the most benefit of my mod while still receiving the full functionality of the other mods.

The Mech HUD Only version is meant for people using mods that overhaul several menus and prefer having consistency in their menu sizes at the cost of all of them being stretched. This will only touch the MechHUD widget meaning it should conflict with far fewer mods.

The main title screen menu is the only UI that I'm aware of that hasn't been resized. I'm encountering a bug with launching games when the main menu is resized, and it's such a small part of the game play experience I'm holding off spending time on that for now.
