AHHHHHHHHHH, Verant sucks :(
Well, bad news. I tried to resize all of the Quartz stuff (every pic, spell gem, everything). I succeded with a lot of stuff, and I could get it all done (already spent a few hours). Going through the animation.xml and resizing every number was tedious, but I did it.
One problem though. YOU CAN"T GET THE FONTS SMALLER. Why the heck did they start their fonts all on about 2. What the heck. How are we expected to make a ui for 800 by 600 when you can't shrink the fonts at all. This really bites. I could go through and resize as small as I can get it, but it would be almost the exact same sizes since the fonts can only reduce by about 4/5ths. This is so amazingly freeked up. No matter how much you shrink this dang stuff, it will ALWAYS take up over 50% of the danged screen in low resolution. Why the heck would they even support a ressolution that they aren't prepared to adapt to? I always thought the 800 by 600 was a little crowded and when the new ui came out I though "Cool, now I can resize stuff and get rid of clutter" BUT NO, they went and made their fonts way to big for any res under 1020. This is the most fricked thing ever
<I am seriously mad, and I typed everything I would have said in RL, I almost never cus. But I almost never get mad either, and this is really ticking me off.>
FINE, I guess I'll go ahead and post </rant>

P. S. so until they resize their fonts, I'm postponing my resize project. (not trashing it yet, cus it'll still be a good mod when able to complete)

Dude!
You need a vacation! C'mon, i dev software and it's impossible to foresee every single aspect of a massive change like the new UI. That's why the /feedback command is in game.
Let's be constructive. Ev1 always gets on VE's bum everytime a little thing goes wrong. They are humans as we all are, they make mistakes.
I mean they did something right no? The DID create EQ, a new breed of drugs that poisons all of our minds!
So let's help instead of blaming and make it an even better game... use the /feedback or /bug command in game and just state the nature of the problem
Trust me.. you'll live a healthier and longer life by breathing deeply before ranting.

I know, I was just mad after editing the whole animation.xml file first 
But the size has always been an issue with low ressolutions. in 800 by 600, it's always taken up over 50% of the screen. You would have thought that they would have created font sizes that look good in each of their "supported" resolutions. |

Those font sizes come from HTML. Go talk to the W3C people. (World Wide Web Compendium) Basically, a size of 2 is an 8 pt. font size. A 1 is 7. A 3 is 10, and so forth. You can use negative numbers, but I don't think you'd be able to read the text if it did load it.

I have used
<size>1</size>
<size>2</size>
<size>3</size>
and 1 is very small, and 3 is fairly large... how small did you want it to go?

In 800 by 600 resolution, >1< is not small at all.
and the interface won't allow negative numbers from what I've tried.

Game was designed for a large 640x480 ungly arse screen with Font 3 being equiv to, I think about a 10 pnt font. 2 is around 8 and 1 is around 6 or 7. (Maybe it's 12,10,8 - 12 is been the "standard" font sizes around I've seen)
If you want small, increase your resolution. At 800x600, everything's gonna look big. That's the nature of the resolutions, not VI.
Don't blame VI cause they didn't develop something to your liking.
