Just bought it. The interface enlargement fix works. Much better! I couldn't have played with the old interface. Thanks.

Is anyone having any issues with the new v1.24.00 Beta resolution changes on standard displays (i.e., not wide-screen and not high resolution)? Could someone confirm how EIA looks on a standard display, and post a screenshot of the new top menu bar to show that it fits OK on the screen? I've kinda been holding my breath waiting to verify all is well before moving on. I'll give it another week and then start on v1.24.01.

There was one curious graphic glitch. I created a new garrison in Grodno and added a militia factor to it. The text box at the bottom of the Garrison was blue with "XXXX" displayed.
I've seen this too. Like the AAR arrows, I think there's some conflict with the winter overlay on the top map sections. I fixed the AAR arrows. I'll take a look at the unit names also. May be the same thing.

Found and fixed this. Like the AAR arrows, setting the background to solid seems to work.

So. I finally got v1.24.01 Beta wrapped up and posted on Saturday, and just now on Monday got feedback that the last 2-3 buttons on the right are cut off on a standard display. Once I get a screenshot, I'll figure out new dimensions to reduce the toolbar just enough to fit and still be large enough for the wide-screen displays. This would be a hotfix later this week.

Update. Looks like I need to go with a 30% enlargement and not 50%. That should be good enough for the wide-screen displays and still fit on the standard displays. I'll try to have changes made in next couple/few days.
