Windows Settings¶
| Type: | floating point |
|---|---|
| Range: | 0.0 to 1.0 |
This section controls the location and size of each window in GUI mode. Each setting is a floating point number representing a fraction of the resolution x or resolution y setting in the Video Settings Section. The X and Y values locate the top left corner of the window, while the W value determines the width of the window and the H value determines the height of the window.
Unlike the documentation for most sections which lists the exact setting name, this page instead lists the names of the windows. For example, to configure the alchemy window, the actual settings would be:
alchemy x = 0.25
alchemy y = 0.25
alchemy h = 0.5
alchemy w = 0.5
Each window in the GUI mode remembers it’s previous location when exiting the game. By far the easiest way to configure these settings is to simply move the windows around in game. Hand editing the configuration file might result in some fine tuning for alignment, but the settings will be overwritten if a window is moved.
Note
To scale the windows, making the widgets proportionally larger, see the scaling factor setting instead.
