I’ve been enjoying the improvements to the art of the game over the last few years but something is starting to become apparent to me when i play on smaller screens from time to time, like my laptop. That is, Why should I still have so much trouble seeing anything else on my screen besides Various windows that I need open while running a fleet, or just ratting. You can make the windows more opaque by pinning them but they’re not opaque enough and there are no other options. ---

I play on a 15.6" in FullHD with UI scaled to 90% and I can say I don’t have any issues. You can change the transparency of windows in the escape menu, somewhere. What are you looking at, a screen for ants running at 800x600? ---

Thank you. I found where to turn transparency up to max and I think it helped. I really just want to see more of the art so i can enjoy the game instead of feeling like all i had to look at were windows… I guess it would still be nice to go further and be able to select a glass-like transparency. ---

Still feel there is some work to be done… they’ve done so much to improve the visual effects… I think it should be matched by an effort to allow us to see and experience those effects with absolutely the least amount of interference from the HUD/Windows, which I think have a good amount of room for improvement. ---

Well there’s still CTRL+F9. Better than nothing. I really don’t see your issue, tbh. Sure, the windows can be annoying, but in the end you can hide them in case you want to marvel at the graphics. I certainly don’t have your problems. My text is small, my windows are small, my whole screen is small! 🙂 ---
