Coming back after a long time, wanted to try classic. I decided to copy my addon settings from retail to classic. It worked, but it seems classic has different UI scale? I have same resolution (1900x1200), same UI scale slider position (1.0) but the classic UI is way bigger, and naturally, most addons either have bigger scale or have their stuff moved to the right and down. Even blizzard elements like chat window is bigger than what I have on retail.
Is this something well known? IS there a fix or will I have to manually reposition and rescale everything?
Okay so it’s very weird. here’s how it works:
If I Uncheck “Use UI Scale”, then UI scale is huge on classic, and smallest on retail
If I check the “Use UI Scale”, and set UI scale on lowest possible, its the same on classic and retail.
However, the unchecked state of retail is a tiny bit smaller than smallest setting possible with the slider! So there is no way to achieve the scale of unchecked retail by using the slider.
Hello Аноритил
You are correct that the scaling is not the same. I had the same problem, and found this solution on another forum.
WoW Classic UI Scaling isn’t pixelperfect by default
If you want to have a pixelperfect UI, the option UI Scaling must be enabled and you have to manually adjust your UI Scaling with the command “/run SetCVar(“UIScale”, NUMBER)” .
The number can be calculated by “768 / your vertical resolution”.
I’m not very good at explaining this, so I just did exactly what it said. My resolution is 1680x1050. So I take 768/1050= 0,7314285
And then write in the chat box or make a macro:/run SetCVar(“UIScale”, 0.7314285)
What this does is, it adjusts the In-Game "System/Advanced/UI Scale slider. So if it doesn’t work for you, you can always adjust it back. Hope this helps you.
