I didn't really think I'd be affected by the cutting off of the world since like i said i run 1280x1024 with the bottom 1/5 not rendered. I couldn't stand any more than that I'd just be robbing myself lol.
Oh and btw tal....1280x1024 looks perfect to me, but 1024x768 looks big, fat and distorted
Ellyana if you don't mind diving into the xml yourself the font size and color is one of the easiest things to change in a UI. Just open the file you'd like to change in a text editor like Notpad and do a find for the word "font". 1 is the smallest font, 5 is the largest, so just kick some numbers up one or two untill you like what you see. You can use your chat size in game as a good indication of how big it's gonna be with the /chatfontsize command.
Anyways hope that helps
