Add a compact mode to the UI- takes up a third of my screen

Currently, when everything is expanded it takes up a good chunk of screen space. i understand that that’s why it was made collaspible in the first place, but ideally it shouldn’t need to be collapsed down. i took a screenshot of the game on my display and blackened all of the screen estate taken by the UI so that gimp could tell me how much of the screen was taken by ui based on B&W values, and 33.5% was taken up by gui.


there are multiple ways one could solve this- for example, inclusion of an in-game scale slider and a compact view would go a long way- eg showing icons but not the text that would be visible in a fully expanded view, and trimming whitespace. an idea of what that might look like ingame, badly thrown together in about 15 mins in gimp.


some other possibilites include lining the bottom of the screen with the different currency counts, like money and coins, with a small version of the icon and the name above each one, which keeps the center of the screen clearer, or putting all information into the same topbar that currently has the twitter handle.

seriously roblox made it more difficult to read teams from it, also it takes up much more space and you need to scroll pretty much all the time to see the whole server…

and also you can hide all the other guis too…

yes, you can, but ultimately i shouldn’t need to hide the guis. if they take up enough screen space that they need to be hidden, then it needs to be redesigned. for example, the vehicle menu is wide for no good reason imo- the names could be integrated into the icons or put below them(like how most phones handle icons) to take up less space, and the sides of the icons in the dealership bar is overkill- at the moment it feels like the pc version of the game has a ui optimised for mobile
