[ENH] Scaling of the entire UI - Block bottom close to last line

If possible when other things are worked out:

Scaling of the entire GSE3 UI:
Using the UI is hard because you have to have it almost the size of your screen to work on macros. -

There are other things that may help if overall scaling is not possible.:
Blocks that grow to the size they are now but the spacing of the last line to the block bottom edge could be closer to the last line This alone would/could reduce the overall GSE3 UI size by half.

Just An idea Tim - sorry adding to the plate.

Further to this will be part of #968

The scaling stuff is something I don’t have control over. GSE scales to the scaling setting in your UI as a whole and it has no ability to draw at any other scale. Where this gets interesting is the UI scale is different for every single person and every single computer. You can change it in ESC - System but this doesn’t just affect GSE but every mod and button in your UI. There also isn’t a way for me to go : Scale GSE 0.8 and everything else normal. GSE goes “please draw an edit box here and make it the width available in the box and 4 lines long. Your standard font settings in your UI are inherited etc. It doesn’t go “draw a box 30 pixels high and position a textbox within that that is 29 pixels high. Make each line within that 7 pixels leaving a half pixel gap”. As to the gaps around the blocks, this again isn’t something GSE can control. In the normal UI these are very tight but UI mods like ElvUI change how all the blocks are displayed. I am still fighting with their changes to add backgrounds to everything. I am investigation how and if I can get the blocks to auto trim to remove some of the vertical padding. You’re not adding to the plate. Ideas and questions are never a problem. TimothyLuke

I don't know how it does it but Mapster manages to resize the World Map UI on the fly. This file might give you a hint: https://github.com/Nevcairiel/Mapster/blob/master/Scaling.lua

That’s resizing a texture - not resizing every single UI element. They are not changing fonts or buttons or the like. They are just resizing the map graphic. TimothyLuke
