How do you reduce the size of news items SEV
 

In the demo I recall shrinking or removing the image files or something to make the news items in the log take up less room. How do you do this in the full game?

Same way as the demo- click the heading above the news portraits.

so not intuitive

Other than a big button that says "shrink me," how would you do it intuitively?

Have them use the small pics by default http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Sigh? It was a legitimate question. If anyone has better suggestions, we can send 'em in to Malfador. The UI is quite clunky, overall.

(I do agree that the small pics should be used by default...)

How about when you right click there is a submenu that you can change the size of the items?

simply clicking on the bar at the top should be a bonus/easter egg shortcut explained in the manual for those that read them. =)

Not another sub-menu! There already the cause of too many UI complaints!

Then how about a setting within the Empires option.
