What video resolution do you play SE4 at?

Icon size can be changed, "large icons" are 48x48, compared with old small icons 32x32. But you can manually enter a number if you want bigger ones.

I use 800x600 and still can not find Piundon and Sallega ships hiding in my system

800x600. I have a 13" monitor, and I can barely make out anything on the larger resolutions. It works well for me. I have to make a consious effort to change it when I play Starfury.

I use 1280x1024, but SEIV then has a black band around the edges where it can't scale up that big. The planet letters are kind of small. A 21" monitor does help though.

1024x768

My reason is 'cause I can see the whole "toolbar" without scrolling.

I hate scrolling!!!

(that's probably my biggest wishlist item behind "scriptable, branchable AI logic")

I tried one resolution higher than 800 x 600 (I forgot which one it is), and selected the "large icons" option in the display setup, but the ships are still too small.

I do wear glasses, but at resolutions higher than 800 x 600 I still have a hard time...

I noticed that some guys play at a higher resolution because they don't like to scroll the toolbar. I don't like to scroll either, but to me being able to see the ships and planet and read the info easily cancels out the scolling inconvenience.

I'm a little surprised that so many people play above 800 x 600. I wish I had you guys' eyes!
