View Full Version : Usability Issue: Diagonal/Omni Resize Grip Area Too Small

In SFRPG client windows, the (constrained) diagonal resize area is too small making it difficult to diagonally/omnidirectionally resize windows (notes, character sheets, CT, etc.).

In order to improve FG/SFRPG usability, please remove the H, V, Diag checking in the diagonal grip area (or at least enlarge the diagonal/omnidirection resize area). When grabbing the window in the lower-right corner resize area, users should be able to easily resize the window omnidirectionally. The current implementation where, especially, the diagonal/omni active grip area is extremely small, is too hard to use and requires the user to hunt for the exact location.

Also, this issue may bear general review across the board to improve FG ease of use. The implementation in the PFRPG ruleset is slightly more usable, for example, but could also have a larger diagonal/omni resize detection area. In SFRPG, this issue may arise from the fact that window style incorporates a clipped corner, so maybe things changed a little. Thanks!

It's a lot easier to click and hold inside a window whilst holding down the CTRL key to resize any window.

Thanks, Zacchaeus! I didn't know about that hot key! That is extremely helpful as a workaround to this issue.
