Pointer text size

Post by Philip Lochner »

When in the VE, AFR or Ignition tuning windows, the position of the red dot is displayed in red in the top left corner of the 3D graph window.

Only thing is, with my PC over on the passenger seat, I have to lean over the centre arm rest to read the text of where the red dot is. Could this text size (and colour?) be made user settable or perhaps proportional to the window size?

I have the same problem in eg the warm-up wizard with the pop-up text that is displayed at the tuning point when using the left and right arrows to move the active tuning point. I see I can now activate the table which helps.
Kind regards

Making it proportional to the window size would be quite easy. But user selectable isn't a big deal either, I just like automatic stuff :)

There is a gauge on the left that displays it too.

Phil

I found that using a black background without colours to be the easiest way to see the red and green dot.

Just an idea: How about making the two lines intersecting the red dot thicker than the others and displaying only the rpm value and load value of those two lines on the respective Axis?
Kind regards
