The default UI size is rather tiny in my opinion , specially if you play on a high dpi monitor or tv that is not close to you.

I would like an slider to change the size of the user interface, from 1 to like 1,5. Just my suggestion.

let's put this on a slider if you implement this. I don't want the UI to be any bigger... smaller would be my preference

Option to change the size of the font used on the interface/chat, as it is supremely hard to read anything right now .___.

1. High-contrast background for texts.
The HUD currently has white text (e.g. time of day) over *Icarus*. I have to rotate the player camera to a shadowed area to read the HUD. Please provide an option to enable a dark background with very little or no transparency for HUD texts.
(In fact, the way I was taught in school, modern games should have high-contrast text *by default*. Even the visually-not-impaired would like to have an easier time reading the HUD, don't they?)

(Side note: in the desert area, the mission target icon in the (M)ap is a yellow-on-yellow.)

2. Text size.
Preferably, provide GUI scaling. GUI scaling is becoming the industry standard. Yes, it can be difficult to design. If an adaptive layout is impossible, then please make the font size bigger. I have a 4K monitor yet some texts in the tech tree are still difficult to make out.

I need this because I play on a 4k TV from my bed with a wireless mouse/keyboard because I'm disabled and it's really hard to see the font. I often have to lean forward and/or squint; please implement some form of font size increase option, please.

I have terrible eyesight, and struggle considerably when it comes to reading some of the small text the game presents (like the text chat in multiplayer)
Upscaling UI would be incredibly appreciated.

As i stated on another similar one. I have terrible eyesight, and this would help considerably in order to read some of the text thats presented.
