@Jaxsbudgie It should be vertical if you are using a text editor other than Notepad.
Hmmm when I open up BG1 and BG2 baldur.ini files in notepad it's vertical I opened it up on Wordpad and got it to work and the resolution looks ... just as bad? My resolution is 1920 x 1200 so it's a bit painful to look at, everything is shoved to the top of the screen and incredibly tiny.
Hey folks, the 0 should be a zero. Since it's an integer setting like 1 (on) or 0 (off) that should be the case. If you have it working with an o, well, uh.. that's.. interesting!
As we tried to communicate, this is beta in the sense that basically it's untested. Our UI redesign was made with scaling in mind, so, as a result there will be more than a few screens that will look weird, and there may be a few that are outright busted by this change.
If this is something people are interested in, we can look at making something like this work better going forward.

Yeah that's what i gathered, i just happened to change it to o from 0 and...it works.
Very strange - first time I tried zero, there was no effect to the UI and the game re-wrote the baldur.ini leaving empty quotes and commas, etc. Then I put the "o" in and it worked. Just changed it back to zero, and it is still working.
Given the flame war that went on in the PC support forum, and the general reaction here, it looks like it should be a configurable option.
I never really cared about the big buttons - I'm too busy looking at the main screen to care about the buttons, but I did feel that I wanted to zoom out just a bit more than the max zoom out. Now with this change, the default zoom level feels about right, so I don't really care about the zoom reset anymore either.
@Nathan I still think higher-res elements would be better overall, although I do like the "widescreen mod" look with the upscaling turned off. Any chance it could be made an option in the Graphics Options menu?

I used o and not 0 and it worked out fine for me but I also copied the baldur.ini file to the 00766 folder so not sure if that had any impact on it.
Open Your_Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition\Baldur.ini with a proper text editor like http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ (notepad isn't able to read the \newline) - (Alternatively you can use Wordpad)
well....this is gonna take some getting used to... Not sure if I like it so zoomed out by I'll give it a try, might just be a matter of getting used to, I DO like how its all so much crisper now.
And for me it worked as well with either 'o' or '0' , ....weird....
The only thing that really bothers me is that now the title menus are all in the upper portion of the screen with a big blank area on the bottom, any one else have that? I have a 23'' screen with 1920x1080 resolution
@Nathan I think this beta fix is most excellent, this is the kind of little stuff that I believe the PC users were expecting, of course getting rid of the scaling introduces some wonky looking menus but if those could possibly be fixed sometime down the road, and (hopefully) introduced in BG2:EE, it would be a major bonus to PC users.
Added the line and tried both 0 and o and nothing has changed. Even edited it so that it was in exactly the same place as Helloteams pic but still nothing. I haven't edited the BG:EE ini files yet but I have done for other games and the old bg extensively and can't imagine what I'm doing wrong...
ps. using notepad ++ and tried wordpad and notepad just incase...
Another edit. I can get the CLUACONSLE working, have saved to desktop deleted the line, saved, retyped(both manually and copy n paste making sure a tab between each and the quotation and commas are in the right place), moved replaced and nothing...taken off read only, checked to make sure my permissions are enabled for the account
I had to make sure I tabbed once in between each area like 'Graphics', tab 'Scale UI', tab '0', and make sure all the ' and , are in there even at the end

I am having the same issue as well. Basically the same setup. It looks a lot better but I have 75% title menus! lol
I think it could be really good if some of the other screens had dynamic elements as well so that they would expand properly; then, with the feature of a zoom lock (already requested) and resizable fonts (also already requested), this could work just dandy.
@Aosaw we'll definitely do that once we get the feature to a state where it's fit for public consumption, and not just for those who are interested in testing it out - as you can see, there's a few problems with the implementation, even though people like the direction it's going.
@trinit yes, that's something we'll be looking into going forward, proper HD UI assets. I can't make you any promises as to when it will happen, but, we will be looking at it.
With the big screen setting the zoom really makes the sprites far less pixilated.
Edit: Well, actually perhaps there's not that much difference in the pixilation after all. I guess I need to go back and forth between modes and compare more.

Dunno. My baldur.ini reads: 'Graphics', 'Scale UI', 'o',
I opened it up on Wordpad and got it to work and the resolution looks ... just as bad?

maybe an alternative UI DLC with redesigned clear graphic and buttons?
Here's a link for it: http://imgur.com/NnQvK
I apologize for the quality, but it reads 'o'
EDIT: Yeah i understood it should be 0 and that's what i'm going to tell from now on, i just got confused

Add 'Graphics', 'Scale UI', '0', to it like this - http://i.imgur.com/kxjKQ.jpg .
[notepad++ is just awesome :P using it for ages now as replacement]

Looks great on my 23" 1920x1080 monitor.

I am just happy to see you guys are listening and taking our feedback to heart. That is awesome. Thank you!
