Huge Track Monitor(F4)

[woodfyr]

Is there any way to reduce the size of the Track Monitor (F4)? I only run Open Rails on this monitor with the Dispatcher View on a second monitor.

It would really be nice to be able to move the Driver Aids (F4, F5, F9, etc) off the primary monitor and on to the (a) second monitor.

There is an option to turn the driver aids semi-transparent. Sorry I don't know a way to move them. I can move my aids to #2 monitor as I have it configured as an extension of the #1 monitor. ( nvidia )

At 1920x1080 and with semi-transparency on, my F4 is small enough to stack 3 of them from top to bottom.





The only way I get a track monitor that big is to run windowed at 1280x720 via the settings under the video tab in OR

Geepster,

Where do you set semi transparency in OR ?

[geepster775]

The checkbox for Glass on in-game windows.

I don't think the box can be made smaller on account of 4k monitors, where 3840x2160 would quarter the size of the track monitor compared to my 1920 size should OR ever get around to supporting that size.

Geepster,

Thanks. i figured as much. Hope for the future.

An idea I suggested some time ago was to add an option to send all information windows and text displays to an html port with the idea they would display on a smart phone. James Ross said it was feasible, probably not too hard to do. Problem is tho there are not very many developers left and so all sorts of good ideas gather dust.
