Awesome change, really excited about it. I run a pretty standard setup with a 1920x1080 display resolution, hopped on for a few rounds and the game just feels SO much better to play without the chat window taking up an unnecessarily large portion of my screen. I heard some people had concerns about playing on lower resolution displays, so I tried hopping on on my laptop as well, at 1366x768, again, pretty standard resolution for most modern laptops.
I gotta say I'm not really too sure what people mean when they say the chat window's too small or hard to read or whatever. Is this really too small for most people? The chat seems perfectly readable to me on modern display resolutions; and if I'm really that concerned about missing something that's what I've got chat highlights set up for, after all.
Regarding potential balance concerns; I've played on other servers which have had widescreen implemented for a few years now, and it really doesn't come up as much as one might imagine it does - or very often at all for that matter - there are very few niche cases where those extra few tiles of horizontal vision ever make or break a fight. If it were really some massive glaring balance problem I don't think so many other major SS13 servers would still be running widescreen, really.
Overall very cool, hoping to see this fullmerged!
