[Feature proposal] Decrease control panel

[MissZero]

Hi BBs,

When occasionally playing during work :o, i downsize settlers to a very small browser-screen.
The left-side of the control-panel, i mean the chat-box, takes up a lot of space.
The building buttons become inaccessible.

Is it possible to ask your developers to enable collapsing/hiding the left-side of the control-panel, the chatbox i mean?

Yours,
Miss Zero

On the chat window there are the "up" and "down" arrows (on the right hand side). Just on top of the "up" arrow, if you click on the tiny horizontal bar, the chat will close.

Hope this helps :)

Hi BB_Azariel,

Yes, understand the horizontal closing-up/hiding; but hoped for a vertical closing-up/hiding of the chat-box.
The main console would automatically move more to the left, best-fit for 'tiny' browser-screens.

Note: Was just a suggestion; can image that console must be hardcoded though ^^

See ya,
Miss Zero

I'd like to see the chat box have a slight opacity filter on it. It feels as though it takes up too much of the map. I know you can resize it, but an opacity filter would blend it into the background a little.

Ah I see what you were asking MissZero. I'll add it to the list of changes I ask BB.

Excellent suggestion ^^
Think it should be optionally though, since there are health-impaired-people (not me, lol) around, who need it brighter...just as it is ;P

Good point MissZero.

This could go along with my suggestion of having settings for the graphics. Being able to turn them from low, to medium, to high. As well as having a tick box for opacity, or a slider so you can adjust it from 0% to 100%.

On a small browser screen, i cannot close the by default 'opened' chat-box. That should be fixed ^^
