Hello all! Wanted to drop a few links here for some larger text options in windowed mode. I've not tried the first two, but I'm currently using the third by yeneko. I did try it during testing the last couple of days and there were no issues. Large Fonts by HeedBig Fonts by sorrydaijinLarger and more readable fonts with UI adjustments by yenekoHere is one screen cap showing what it looks like in chat  I'll have more to show after tonight. Let me know if there's any requests to see something specific (names over heads, dialog boxes, etc.) |

Nice but should we wait for the update though?

None of these should be affected by the latest Beamdog update. There are some configuration options being added, but I don't think they will explicitly interfere with each other.

Does the larger font only work in windowed mode?

Nice but should we wait for the update though? I was on the tester server with this override active and it worked just fine. Does the larger font only work in windowed mode? It works for full screen as well. Here's some more screenies It changes the size of the dialog box so you won't miss any of it.  The new larger font shows up in all text windows  Floaty names easier to see  Same for descriptions  The text size with alter depending on how large/small you have the window open as it comes with varying sizes of the same font. It can get a little wonky if you turn on and off the text size checkbox under the video options, but just shut the game all the way down and bring it all the way back up and it should fix it. |

These are honestly great and saving my life, I'm not sure I'd want to go back after now using the larger font and the chat extender. Total game changer IMO. |

I was going to see if the chat extender worked with the larger font override. Great to know that it does. Technically extender should work with any of those overrides since you need to have the right resolution of it in the first place. If you have one that's too big for your screen for instance it will just extend past the edge of your screen entirely. I tried th 1600x one on a 1920 and it extended it a majority of the way but not all the way which was nice for total visibility but I decided to just go with the 1920x in the end. I feel like the 1920x is more helpful especially DM side when trying to keep up with all the little details, especially dice rolls or heavily populated areas such as GG. |

Thanks for posting this! I just spent hours going through the vault and customizing my own GUI. I had completely forgotten about overrides |

Just bumping this for visibility. I know we've had some new folk come along so I hope this helps.
