Slash Command

/uiscale number

Enlarges or decreases the entire User Interface

  • Number refers to the percent scale of the UI expressed as a decimal. For example, 0.5=50%, 1=100%, 1.3=130%.
  • The User Interface consists of all the 2D windows that appear on the screen. For example, the Menu window, the Power Tray window, the Chat window, etc.
  • This command alters the "UI Scale" setting in Options --> Windows tab --> User Interface. If you want to set your UI scale manually, make sure to first turn off "Automatic UI Scale" in Options.
  • WARNING: Setting a UI scale greater than 3 (300%) can make it difficult to see your windows/screen. Setting larger scales can freeze the game for a lengthy amount of time while the game is busy rendering the huge UI scale. Very large numbers such as 100 can even lock up your game completely, depending on your computer. If you can no longer see anything because you used too big of a scale setting, try typing in the command blind, i.e. /uiscale 1.


Tip: Many graphics commands are not "applied" until the game is restarted. If switching between windowed and fullscreen modes, it's best to use the Options window to change these settings since the setting will usually take effect immediately upon clicking the "Apply" button. Also, to change the size of the game window while already in windowed mode, you may use the /screen command and it will take effect immediately. In addition, clicking the edge of the game window and dragging it across your screen will also resize the window. The new resolution numbers will be reported in the Graphics tab of the Options window. The /uiscale command can be used to immediately resize the user interface (all of the various windows within the game window) to better suit a new resolution. The /window_scale command can resize individual windows in real time. Lastly, the /fullscreen command also takes effect immediately, but it only works one way... from windowed mode to fullscreen mode. To go from fullscreen to windowed, use the Options window.

Example

/uiscale 1.43
