Making the upkeep monitor icons bigger? - Guild Wars Forums

FoXfiVe · Jun 26, 2006, 02:15 PM // 14:15

I'd like the upkeep monitor icons bigger, so that they are easier to click on (when I want to get rid of them). But I don't want the rest of the interface bigger, just those upkeep icons.

As seen in this picture (from the Mo/N 55 build):

Thx in advance.

Well, I actually don't see the upkeep buttons in that screenshot, but basically it'd be the same way you moved the Conditions/Enchantments/Hexes bar to its current position.

The way I'd fix this would be first to go into your options menu (accessible by pressing F11 or going to Menu > Options). From there, you need to click the "Customize Layout." This brings up a checklist where you select the items you want visible. From there, click the "Edit Interface button." This brings up the adjustable/movable edges of all your screen items. You can now move/resize whatever you'd like, in your case, the Upkeep Monitor.

Hope that helped.

EDIT: damn I thought those icons were the upkeep buttons.

And that pic isn't mine.

That can't be the Upkeep Monitor, because Protective Spirit is shown (which is not an upkeep skill, but a cast-last for 20 seconds spell).

Back to the question, try making sure to adjust the width as well as height. I remember having this same problem.

I've tried the drag method, I've managed to drag the upkeep box bigger but the icons don't actually get bigger.

Any other ideas? or maybe i'm doing it wrong...

In the picture you show, the upkeep icons are not shown. How can you tell? Protective Spirit is not an upkept enchantment. What is shown in that picture is the Effects Monitor. Unfortunately, you cannot make the upkeep icons any larger, you can only make the Upkeep Monitor box hold more of those teeny tiny icons.

It's quite annoying, actually. On a 1600x1200 screen they are a (female dog) to click on to drop an unkept enchantment.

Edit: Look, I can make my upkeep box almost as big as the entire screen, and still they are teeny tiny.

Well then, there is no obvious way to make the upkeep monitor buttons larger! Sorry, Foxfive.

What's funny is that you can enlarge the box for your weapon sets and the icons DO enlarge, so much so that you can get the 4 weapon set icons to take up the entire screen so you can't see anything. Now why they thought being able to enlarge the weapon sets was a good idea (of which you can assign buttons to switch), but not the upkept enchantments that require a double click to relinquish amazes me.

QFT! It's ridiculously hard when you have 7-8 or more upkept enchants to sort through to find the right one to double-click...so many times I miss that little button and hit the other one. >.< I'm currently at work, so I couldn't check the resizability of the Upkeep monitor, but I assumed it would work like the Effects/etc. monitors.

You can't make the upkeep icons bigger.

You can ONLY move then to a certain location on your monitor.

End of story.
