Is there anyway to shrink the UI in game anymore then what the UI scale allows at the lowest setting? Just got a new 43" monitor and the UI is too big, the bar at the bottom of the screen is the same length as my keyboard at the lowest setting and i want to make it smaller.
found “/run UIParent:SetScale(.5)” and it makes my UI smaller then the scale allows it but every time i log in i have to hit the macro it shrink the UI again, am i forever stuck having to hit this button each time i log in?
If that’s all you want to do, you could:
try
/run SetCVar("uiScale", 0.5)
I’m not sure if it’s per character or sticky at that scale.
Otherwise, paste the following into the website addon.bool.no to create/download a small addon that will run the script automatically each time a character logs in.
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
UIParent:SetScale(0.5)
end)
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
Check your screen resolution in the wow game settings. Chances are the game resolution is still set for the smaller monitor you replaced.
The larger the resolution, the smaller the ui.
For best clarity your wow game resolution should match your optimal resolution when you’re in windows normally. And optimal for a digital screen is usually the highest possible setting you can make it.
/run SetCVar(“uiScale”, 0.5) dont seem to do anything, does it being classic wow change things?
also its set to 3840x2160 in windowed fullscreen mode
I don’t think that the CVar will register any values below 0.64. (Also, make sure that you’ve got the box checked for custom UI scale in the advanced tab of the System setttings or it will ignore the CVar altogether.) For lower values, you need to use an addon like the one that Fizzlemizz posted.
