It would require you to resize each button, image, piece of text, etc. individually, and reposition it to where you want it to go. That may sound alright, but just take a look at how many images/buttons/text etc. are in this game...

My annoyance is that you are making a decision not to do this because YOU think it isn't worth the time and effort, but you wouldn't be the one making the changes. Let me redirect the post: Does anyone else find this to be annoying? Would you like to see GL maximized?

You can press f11 to send the browser into full screen. This will give a similar effect.

Let me redirect the post: Does anyone else find this to be annoying? Would you like to see GL maximized? i'm slightly annoyed by it, but so little that it would NOT affect my decision to either play the game or pay $ into it. Therefore, other than a pat on the back, Dan will probably get nothing out of this Therefore, unless it's a MINOR fix, which from the gist of the convo it is not, it is NOT worth the effort. Now, if you would like to dedicate an amount of money into this option, like some ppl are doing for trade system, it might come out because it would give Dan a motivation. That's up to you.

I would be very surprised if Dan didn't get a substantial amount due to this game. Depending on the amount he actually makes would reflect how hard I push on this subject.

It's not about how much he is already making, that's irrlevant because that's gonna be there anyway It's about the marginal gain he would have from adding this. If I was earning say 60 grand a year anyway, I'm not gonna work my behind off for like 10 hours just to make 5 bucks extra.

alright... stepping around all the dog mess on the floor, let's start with this handful... Chaka wrote: I would like to see a maximize GL window button like I see in Backyard Monsters and Clash: Rise of Heroes. as one person has already pointed out, the maximize buttons are found in flash apps... the screens in this game are HTML/CSS and it's all stuck in a box on a facebook page, so a maximize feature isn't really possible... and even if it is, every possible screen resolution would have to have tweaked layouts of every page and window... i've glanced at the main css file this game uses... i wouldn't want to dream of having to make a version for every possible screen resolution... thunderbolta wrote: It would require you to resize each button, image, piece of text, etc. individually, and reposition it to where you want it to go. That may sound alright, but just take a look at how many images/buttons/text etc. are in this game... yep, sounds about right..... a major headache... flash apps have it soooooooooo easy however... not too long ago someone suggested using this page: http://galaxylegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=147939#p147939I've voiced the little opposition i care to toward the idea already... even I'll agree it has some good uses, but it's not the proper or intended way to access the game so some stuff won't be positioned properly and buying FBC or GP won't work properly (all because of the way the game is designed) Chaka wrote: it needs some attention as the main form for communications with your legion, but just allowing it to be maximized would eliminate my biggest annoyance with the COMM. with FB group chats it's easy to stay in loop with the conversation because of notifications and it being able to get pulled up wherever you are. however, i find myself gettting lost, or having to dig through COMM archives to follow something that was said 5 minutes ago. my thinking is that if GL can be maximized, then legion COMM will always be visible. making it easier to stay in loop with current conversations without being solely stuck at the bottom of my scroll not being able to do anything else. when i need more than 3 or 4 lines on my page I'll go to the planets page, type a bunch of random keys in the search box so it finds ZERO planets... and then drag the two bars at the top of the legion comm up as high as i want... then when i want to go to a different tab in the game i can simply hide the comm or just drag it back down at least... and when i go back to the planets tab, it will still show no planets so i can just drag the comm back up again thunderbolta wrote: You can already extend the comm. You can also use the comm archive to track back 12 hours. actually.. the comm at the bottom of the screen shows the last 100 messages and the comm archive window shows the last 400 messages (counting the msgs in the officer tab if you are an officer or leader)... sometimes this is more than 12 hrs... much much more for the quiet legions... and sometimes this is less than 12 hrs... much much much less for the talkative legions

by the way, Chaka.... are you even using the comm at the bottom of the screen? or are you exclusively using the archive window?

If I am tied up in any other activity really I fall behind in Legion COMM chatter. So if I fall behind, I catch up with archive, then resume with COMM. If I stay focused on chat, then I can't perform any other task while keeping the window visible. It's hard for me to maintain a focus on chat and my current activity.

If i may, a simple solution to this problem (and most others involving communication in any internet based group) is TeamSpeak 3 If you want to check it out, there is a link on my sig. Being able to "talk" to your legion mates makes it a lot easier to coordinate efforts. The program is FREE for clients and there are many FREE servers out there, but you have to pay for a good server (it's cheap). If you set up a server, you can post rules, KOS lists, strategy info, etc, set rooms for leaders, and much more.
I am not selling this or trying to take away from Dan's game, i just think that TS 3 adds so much to any gaming environment that I set up my own server and highly recommend it to all.
