My screen resolution is 1920*1080, but they still a little too big for me.
I personally deleted all these T1 icons to get a more clearly view, it's no reason to enlarge these T1 swarm.
Some suggestions:
Make T1 original size but keep these change for color.
T1=11*11(include black line), T2=14*14, T3=17*17.(1 pixel of black line should be enough)
These PD, AA have same orange color sometimes make confuse.
How about make these colors same as range detector?
Direct = red, AA = blue, shields = orange...
Glad you liked it, hearing how useful this mod is for people is the only thing that can drive me to work on it. you have good suggestions, differences in size certainly gives good separation between unit's tech.
as for the general size of the icons - they may be a little too large for you at the beginning of the game, but what happens when your eyes get tired after an hour? in supreme commander you can play for a very long time reaching even a few hours while you fight to pay attention to every little detail every second.. the human eye is not designed to remain focused for so long. this size is by design to fight the fatigue in late game.
as for the orange line in the PD,AA and the Torpedo launcher icons - it's an indication that gives people a quick understanding against what the entitled defense works. a topline implies air defence, an underline indicates naval defence while side lines represent land defence. if i change the color of this indication it would be difficult for people to identify it fast enough as it's got to be in the same color for consistency.
