Description:

Scales Stellaris ui for high resolution monitors. Users with 1440p/1600p/2160p monitors will have a scaled ui that looks exactly like 1080p respectively. No more blurry font due to downscaling resolution. Play at your native resolution!

Note: One negative of mod is no achievements. Achievements can be reenabled by moving the common/defines/NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE_POSITION.txt and common/defines/TRADE_VIEW_WIDE_MODE_THRESHHOLD.txt file out of the mod directory structure. Of course doing so will break part of the ui (Trade view).

Note: If you have the mod already please delete the old scale_ui directory, or rename it. Prior to deleting make sure that to note down any custom directory settings.

Requirements:
– Windows, Linux
– Install gimp 2 (https://www.gimp.org/downloads/)
– For gimp older than 2.10.10, Install gimp-dds plugin ( https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/downloads )
– Under 1.0 gigs of space is needed for the mod.

1) Insure software requirements are installed on your system.
2) Find the mod in the C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2819901906038494 directory. Copy 1906038494 directory into Stellaris mod directory. Usually, found in "C:Usersyour_usernameDocumentsParadox InteractiveStellairsmod".
3) Double-click on "install_scale_ui_mod.bat" (On linux run "python install_scale_ui_mod.py"). Follow the instructions, and provide information as needed by the installer.

1440 – A 1080p look for 1440p native users, support via interface patches
1600 – A 1600p look for 2160p native users, support via interface patches
2160 – A 1080p look for 2160p native users, support via interface patches

4) Wait for execution to finish (10-20 mintues). The window should close on it own when done. Check debug.log found in the scale_ui directory.
5) If Stellaris launcher is open please close and reopen in order to update mod list. Please select scale_ui_XXXXp where XXXX should be the resolution height selected during install. Note: That "scale_ui" should not be enabled at all.
6) Play game at your native resolutions.

Enjoy!
