>.> you made a thread about this when there is already one?

What is the issue with having them if your resolution is wide, it was created to fit all 8 characters of your macro name plus includes symbols.

Anyways now that there are two examples of macro palettes I'm sure someone will make their own design.

It's coming with all the new UI upgrades.

You can always post on the official forums that you don't like the change and would like an option to keep the original macro palette if you wish.

I think they're alright. I really don't like the contrast between the white font and the really light blue background though. I wish that could be changed.

Then you're playing on PS2/3 so your UI was never changed.

Like I said before I wouldn't be very surprised if someone came out with a dat mod for the new macro palette. I would make a request on the windower dat mod section to see if anyone can figure out a way to enhance the macro palettes or change them now that there are two clear sources of small and long macro's.

I'm sure they can enhance the font and possibly make nice tweaks of different sizes.

You need an X resolution wider or equal to 1024 pixels.

If your computer isn't wide screen then you probably won't have the new palette. If it is then change your resolution to something like this:

x : 1280
y : 760

An invaluable contribution: analyzing the three words you said and realizing they mean the opposite of what you imply.

I wouldn't try it, he'll update it in a few days. :x

I guess it doesn't hurt if you back up the original files though.

I see that, but I could have sworn they said you would be able to write longer titles too. I see you can space now :\
