For your attention and any others.. a quick, small adjustment!

I don't know if this has been attended to, but when I installed your big dials mod (Now I can see what the hell I'm doing ) the dials covered the next button on the recognition manual, making it inaccessible. So with a bit of fidgeting I moved the 'previous/next' buttons higher in the recog manual



In the menu1024.ini file.. the adjustments are 2 numbers..
G25 is the recognition manual (in my game that is)

That's one way;
using the Larger Hud dials by themselves will create a problem as you have addressed. In most of the mods I've made where I've used the Larger Hud dials I've either moved the Recognition Manual up a bit or as you did, move the "next/previous" buttons around to get to them.

One other thing you can do is use the "Delete" key to hide the entire lower "Orders Bar", including the Dials, to get to a function underneath.

I see in the photo, the game resolution must be set to the 1024x768 setting. At other higher resolutions the screen widens out and the larger dials won't hide so much, if anything at all.

Ah.. Ok, no problem then

Another thing I was thinking, is making the dials semi transparent so that one can see the bow details of the ships (with my screen res).
Do you have a layered PSD file available on the dials?, as the mod one is 'flattened'.

No I don't. Since the stock game has them flattened, I made them the same way.
