<p>Before I can even START to get back into EQ2, I have to get the video set to a proper size. My screen is a 24in("widescreen") and before I had my computer "fixed" for a seperate issue I used to run the game at 1440x900. When I got the computer back, I noticed the resolution is now at 1920x1200. The image looks much more detailed and while I like that ingame... everthing else is so small it's causing eye strain.</p><p>I've tried going back to the old 1440x900 but the image looks "bloated". A couple things that need to get fixed before I can "play" are:</p><p>1) set all default text to 18, seems to be the best resoultion for my eyes.</p><p>2) Make the Icon-bars adjusted in size, from their current size, 25-50% larger should be big enough to handle.</p><p>3) Change the dadgum mob name plate back to the default Arrow system! I never liked the fancy name bar but now I don't see an option to even select it anymore.</p><p>At the moment those are the most game-breaking for me... well besides that annoying SC icon, but thats a whole other bucket.</p>

Update, also.. is there an easier way to move these [Removed for Content] boxes around? clicking the edge without reshaping it is a pain in the butt.

<p>Curious, have you tried setting your windows screen resolution back to 1440X900, then launch EQ2? Then change the EQ2 resolution to 1440X900. Not sure if this will work. Is that the same size of screen you had before?</p>
