Title: UI Question
Post by: Jarhead0331 on April 26, 2020, 08:50:23 AM

How do you change the way information is displayed in a window?

For instance, in my Shipyard Tasks window, the Completion Date is displayed as follows: Tuesday, November 18, 2184. However, because the display is so long, it cuts off most of the date and I cannot see the year. I have seen in videos the date displayed without the day of the week. I don't see anything obvious to control this.

Thanks.

Ok...so there is no way to do it that won't affect my entire system? No option in-game?

At current?  No.

Steve is beginning to phase out the localisation issues with decimal/thousands separators, would not be surprised to see dates along for the ride in that update - similar problem, with similar solutions.

Excellent, thank you.

I was wondering what the relevance of the decimal point/comma thing was...
