How to lengthen the menus?
« on: December 10, 2008, 07:01:25 pm »

Hi.  I'm playing DF with a 80x50 grid giving me a wide viewing area.  Unfortunately the menus only seem to take advantage of about 25 lines of height leading to more paging around then should be necessary (see screenshot below).  Is there a way to make the in game menus use the full height of the screen?  I didn't find anything obvious in the init.txt.

PS  This is using the Mac version.

Not at the moment, that's just the way it is for now.

The fullscreen expansion was a quick thing Toady did, and not all of the old interfaces make use of it yet (although many newer ones do, like historical maps in legends).  He probably won't update it until he's ready to do a bunch of interface work.

And we all know that the interface is what will push DF version .99 to 1.00
