Map hard to read
 
Hey guys,
as it turned out yesterday night, my eyes have not become better during the last years. :)
So - is there a patch/mod to make the map a tad better readable for older Kaleuns?
I find it very hard to read especially longitude and latitude at the edge.

I think you need this
 
Way back in time I wanted to make the colours brighter on my nav maps. To do it I used the Generic Patcher mod. It took me a couple of goes to figure it out and for the love of me I cant remember just what i did - I am getting really old. Try this link here.

Best solution for reading small fonts or small map characters is to use a magnifyng glass software. Windows OS has one, but there is a much better one which you can use by simply pressing CTRL and using your mouse wheel in any program launched in Window Mode. Also there will be no nasty icon onscreen all the time. Very well suited for SH series, programs with small fonts, or while browsing webpages.


It's called Glassbrick and can be found here:

Just launch the x64 program if you have a 64-Bit OS, no need to do any settings, the program icon will be visible in your task bar. Set SH5 to be launched in Window Mode (Glassbrick will not work in fullscreen mode), then everytime you want something to appear bigger: press CTRL while using your Mousewheel to enlarge or shrink the screen. That's it! Besides, the program has a lot of settings, to see the settings menu: right-click the program icon in the task bar and chose "Settings".


I hope this helps!
