"Mouse Over" questions

[unmerged(11928)]

Hey ya'll

I mentioned this a long time ago, but since I have not seen the new stuff, can anyone provide insight on this question?

In HOI, when you would hover over a unit with your mouse (I believe the command is 'mouse over'?) a light blue fly-out or pop-up would appear that listed the units therein...
has HOI2 gone to fixed pitch font?
Abbreviated unit names?
or turned off the word wrap?

It would make your Mouse Overs soooo much cleaner and easier to read.

Can anyone with the Gold or pre-release shed some light on this for me?

Thx.

VJ.

I second that, it is hard to get the picture.

Maybe each army/korps could have an bold/underlined font, would make it easier to overview the popup.

Judging from the demo i would say "probably not", it looks the same as in HOI.

Yes i agree that it is a little clunky, but perhaps this could be cleaned up by increasing the resolution of the game? IIRC, on the lower resolutions the HoI "mouse over" was that way too, but was better once i cranked up the res.

And if thats not viable, Im prolly just going to be clicking on the corps individually, cycling through them with the . or "lasooing" them, and trying to keep in mind what divisons are where

Good Plan... while we...errr, THEY are it, why not make the leader units appear in green text, and the unit strength in red and Org in Blue, or some such idea...?

Here is a visual aid of what I would like to see...

General Skrewup 19th Killum Korps
82nd ABN Div 100 98
101st ABN Div 100 100
3rd Marine Div 52 99


Well, sorta like that... the columns should line up better than what you see, but you get the idea.

They are not. They only don't have any "-" before it like the divs, a bold army/korps would make it easier to get the overview.
