Yes, when resizing and zooming

Just when resizing

Never

I'm curious what you think.

If you're not sure what this is about, I'm referring to the resizing/zooming mechanic that was added in 40d12 and enhanced in 40d12-head/40d13.

Maybe even an option to always show grid size somewhere on the screen? Either that, or a new menu screen that shows miscellaneous technical information, including grid size.

Indeed, I am not sure what you are referring to, but if its simply the tile grid and window size specified in the init file, then I dont think its necessary.

After all I know what numbers I entered there, not much of a reason to display it ingame. Would only wastes UI space.

If this isnt what you rae referring to... then oops, ignore this.

Yes, well, I suggest you read the first post in this thread.

I always liked the face that most Linux window managers tell you the window size when resizing, especially for a console-like application.  It would be nice to see that in DW as well, so I can make my screen nice round numbers.

On zooming I would probably be less likely to pay attention to it so I'd say go with whichever way is easier there (e.g. if displaying the size on zoom is extra work over and above displaying the size on resize, I wouldn't consider it worth a lot of effort.)

What would be gained, apart from fuel for our OCD?

Either flash it briefly (about 2 seconds max) each time theirs a resizing event both zooming and window readjustment, or put it on a separate screen (or both).
