Font quality etc.

[powertrace]

Don't know where to write this...

The font don't look nice or crisp, it looks even worse when zooming in. Is it possible to get more crisp font in all zoom levels?
I know I can change fonts, antialiasing, etc. but that doesn't help.

Also should there be lines between the event boxes?

What is the size of your GUI relative to your camera?

To my camera? This is just the event and so on windows and when I look at codes etc.
It doesnt matter what gui zoom level I use and aliasing turned off, the font dont look good.
Or am I missing something?
How does your look like?

Mine are nice and crisp, but I use fonts that are designed to look like old 8 bit fonts from classic systems. I also make sure no antialiasing and I use a low res GUI when drawing fonts in DrawGUI event, like 480×270

Maybe see if your application surface is too small. Can you try surface_resize(application_surface, 1920, 1080)

Can I have screenshot to compare?

This is about the IDE UI, not about a game...

With that said, this is a quirk of the IDE. Whether this is unintentional or even considered an issue at all is not something I can answer because I'm not involved in determining that. What I can tell you is that it's not a matter of wrong settings, but just a "that's how it is" kind of thing.

Also I mean the gm2 gui overall , not anything coding related etc

Yeah I think so too but it is annoying with "bad" font quality, specially when coding.
I will have a check tomorrow if there is anything windows related...

Yes it should be, so you know which window is connected to which, when overlapping is enabled in preferences, or two windows are close to each other.

I believe better font support for the IDE is something that YYG have as part of their "improve IDE functionality" roadmap. Until then... Not much you can do other than not zoom in or out...
