Feedback on vector HUD - I really don't like it

[WhiteRider]

Have you tried changing the font you use, as well as the size? You can select all stats at once by clicking the first in the list and then shift-clicking the last (in the Group Items shown in Steven's screenshot) to help you experiment faster. You may find that a different font face makes a significant difference.

If you submit your logs and screenshots please also make a backup of your default optional files (no databases) via the menu item File > Backup, and attach that too and tell us which HUD Profile you're using.
This will let us see your exact settings and experiment with your HUD ourselves.

i had same problem and changed my font to 10 and it is a lot better now. but it is somehow "dirty" solution. it would be nice if you could change the size of your hud during play w/o resizing a whole table. integrated zoom function would be great!!!

Amen, that would be great indeed. I actually tried that when first experimenting with the HUD and was surprised not to find it.

Unfortunately it wouldn't solve my problem anyway; my problem is when numbers are smaller they start to blurr and fuzz so they are less readable. And of course, the whole thing is I don't really want big numbers in the first place; quite the contrary. I was happy using a font as small as 5 in PT3 - which I think was the smallest as I probably tried using 4.

edit: but yeah, I'll do the whole log sending thing as soon as I have some extra spare time; I've used all I had yesterday putting PT4 together, building the HUD, etc.

I think what you guys aren't liking about the new hud is the anti-aliasing. This makes the fonts look "smoother" and less pixelated. This can result in it looking a little blurry with small fonts.

We will be adding an option to make this anti aliasing optional, so if you prefer, you can have your crisp fonts.

Cool, I'll wait for that then :)

I play on ongame.
without the possibility to move the hud with the right button of the mouse is impossible to play because the hud overlap and cover the choice keys

You can move hud around by pressing Control key and draging the hud with left mouse button. ;)

Mucked hands sizing is tied to the deck theme, this is only customizable when you design a theme. It is not customizable in the HUD Profile editor. Everything else is customizable in the HUD profile editor though.
