Hey guys, sorry I didn't answer sooner, i was afk for a few days. I'm going to do a new version of the bigger menus mod soon, that will fit screens that are 768 high. I'm still wondering though who is using 800x600 at this point in computer history, and also why they would need bigger menus... so I'm not sure it will be necessary. I made the bigger menus mod because when you see the game in a large wide screen, you can't help but think, "I have a lot of unused screen space". That is just not the case in 800x600. But that is why I made this thread, to find out what would be the best thing to do here. I am actually kind of surprised that everyone, no matter what screensize they're using, is saying they love the bigger menus. So again thanks for the feedback, going forward I'll be making UI mods that do fit on 1366x768 screens.

I understand HeatherL, and I have set up my 2nd computer to be in 1366x768 so I can see what things look like in that size. :) Having said that, remember, monitors are getting bigger all the time. A typical recommendation for a gaming monitor is minimum 25 inches wide, and a 35 inch wide monitor is not that hard to get. If you put a 1366x768 resolution screen on a 35 inch monitor, it will look OVER twice as big as it does on a 14 inch monitor. Or you can think of it like this, if you put a 3440 x 1440 on a 35 inch monitor, the zoo tycoon menu icons will be the same size as they would be on 1366x768 14 inch monitor, AND everything in the zoo will be in HD (higher definition). So if my monitor is twice as big as someone like carlos on his laptop, then even though i am old and need glasses myself, i would not want to play in 1366x768. So this isn't necessarily about the size of the icons on your screen or how well you can see, it is more about the size of your monitor, and how many pixels will fit on it. Having now said ALL that, I just want to assure you that I will not forget about people that use older monitors, or midsize laptops. I want to include those people like you who have been here playing zoo tycoon for the last 17 years, for sure. But I also hope to include people who have brand new gaming rigs, who may come across a mod like bigger menus and think about reinstalling this game again just to see how it looks on their brand new monitor, which hopefully might encourage them to register at zoo tek phoenix for the downloads, so that the community might continue to grow in the future. I hope you can understand that it is a lot to consider, but I'm doing my best to make it happen. :) Please keep the data coming guys, I really appreciate it.

Most of us are older. That means we have vision problems and the larger icons are easier to see. We also tend to have a huge number of downloads. For instance I have at least 200 foliage items, so a menu that only shows me 10 items at a time is tedious. It is MUCH easier with larger icons & a menu that shows more of them at once to find what I am looking for.
