[EM, latest Steam version] Gap between compass/toolbar and top of screen

Post by DynamicRanger »

There is a noticeable gap of several pixels between the upper toolbar and the top edge of the screen. I'm playing at 2560x1440 on a single monitor. I have a second monitor attached--it is in 1024x1280 portrait mode. The gap exists with the default HUD and in all mods. You can see it in this screen capture. I'd like the toolbar to be flush against the top of the screen. Thanks in advance for any help.

It was designed to be that way originally, sort of a 'floating' design. This is being changed in a few ways for expansion. While the 'floating HUD' concept is generally still retained, tilt is being levelled and border frames are being placed around each clickable option so that they appear more as floating clickable buttons.
