Hi,
I find the the text font sizes for stacked items and spells too small, hard to read.

Current behavior: Even with the new and bigger UI there are all the texts different sized, and the numbers for stacked items and spells are way too small. Why all this difference with the fonts and sizes?

Expected behavior: Same text size as others; to be able to read the numbers (or read better, if you are young). If we have this big and reworked UI (Inventory, Spellbook, etc.) why are the text sizes so different? There are even great holes in the middle of the UIs, unused windows, why not re-arranging them so that we can see and read all and has everything the same size? (Except the Main things offc.)

    Am I just too old for this? Or is it really too small compared to the other elements and texts?

    There is so much space in the GUI, why not include new small windows and write the numbers in there?

    I think you are correct! This will even have a bigger impact when EE will be released on tablets and other devices.

    Are the numbers for stack sizes coming with the stacked item and spell icons? Or is this modifiable? You could create small windows next to / adjacent to the icons and write the numbers in it again. There is a plenty of space in the GUIs to place them somewhere. Thanks.

    I can read the text, but i use a relatively large monitor. On a tablet, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't be able to read it. I don't have any opinion on this. Maybe people with the tablet version should tell theirs.

    I have a great monitor (optimized for 1680x1050), but I'm not too young. I think it's because the original icons: they are just as small as they were in the vanilla (they only got a new background and new place in the GUIs). Perhaps the numbers beside them are linked to them, they couldn't re-size them alone? Thanks for the answer, then waiting for the tablet users' opinion.

    @Shandyr: I mean every number beside of the spell icons and stacked items. They are so small despite everything else is so much greater now in the new GUIs.

    Still present. Also the spell icons have graphical errors. They are good at the spell description page, but wrong at the spell tome pages.
