Quote from: littbarski on November 07, 2024, 04:17:42 PM- the zoom levels are fine, but on all my screens they are just between too large and - a bit - too small ... So the level zoom could be 5.5

I suggested the same thing back in 2020. For the game images to be displayed at 150% resolution (as opposed to 100% or 200%), artifacts would be introduced which would either make the game look blurry, or make the pixels look stretched and out of place - not ideal for a game which sometimes relies on pixel precision. So, it was decided that in-between-zoom states shouldn't be implemented.

I agree with this decision, ultimately. So, this one likely won't be actioned.

I'll leave the topic open for now, though - it might be worth further investigation at some point.

ok I understand. Still one comment here in the zoom topic although probably again a new topic :). I am pretty sure I will not have neverending ideas, but: perhaps a setting would be good to decide whether I want to use the mouse wheel for zoom or not (to have the feeling that the zoom level is fixed when I made it in the settings). And even more, the mouse wheel could be used for another function. So switch in the settings the function of the mouse wheel between two functions: either zoom or toggle the skills in the panel with direct activation so that you can directly click on a lemmming with this mouse wheel selected skill :lem-mindblown:

1) Open SuperLemmix to the main menu screen.
2) Hit F2 or click the settings card:



3) Click "Configure Hotkeys" button.
4) Here, you can set "Wheel Up" and "Wheel Down" to whatever function you wish. For skill browsing, choose "Next/Previous Skill" from the dropdown menu:
