Currently I can only play on 1024x768 which is fugly ;P because any higher and the font + interface is so small it strains my eyes and starts to hurt like...

I suggest:
[MAIN]
-Allow us to increase size of all fonts (can only change chat font atm).
-Allow us to increase the size of various GUI elements (mainly the quick bars, they tiny).
[OPTIONAL]
-Allow us to move the Monster Target (name, element, level etc thing) because on higher resolutions, its not in the middle.
-Making the Map (M) actually fit on the screen on higher resolutions.

If any of this can be sorted already (its late here, maybe im doing something wrong) please tell me :).
If a thread similar to this already exists, my bad, same excuse: its late - couldnt find any.
Ill post screenies if wanted to show how tiny it is lol :P.

[Quick Answers]
"Just play in 1024x768!"
-I shouldnt have to if the option of 1440x900 is there. Playing at 1024x768 makes the baby jesus cry.
"You already can make the font/GUI bigger..."
-Its late and I prob doing it wrong, enlighten me please :) /beg
"This thread already exists"
-My bad, couldnt find anything.

    A wicked high-end video card isn't everything if you don't have a monitor that doesn't catch up to it.

    Personally, I play at 1280x800 and everything is peachy over here. I have a wide-screen monitor that supports this resolution. If you were to play at this resolution while you have an old 14 inch monitor (for example), then yeah... it'll fail (at everything, not just PW).

    Perhaps you have another issue that makes things messy for you, but you never stated your equipment. So all I can do now, is to tell you that it -is- possible to play at higher resolutions while font sizes stay appropriate/readable.

    As for your suggestions regarding font/GUI sizes, I personally don't have a need for those since everything looks fine to me already.

    Well I have a GeForce 8800 GT, not the latest card and certainly not the best availble, but it can run nearly everything on max (a few newer games on medium > high).

    BUT, graphics aint everything, that is not what I want to increase the resolution for. Yes, increasing to 1440 (the default reso of my monitor) improves the graphics somewhat but it also allows me to see more and as its an option, should work (a decent graphics game and no way to see it all atm). I play at 1440 on everything with no problems (the font either increases, or is a little factor to the game (unlike here, I need to read almost constantly (wtf to do on quest :D).

    Ive tried everything above 1024 and on all of them the font / UI stays the same size as it was... but on a bigger screen (hence, its tiny). I can play it at 1440 nps but as I say, there is currently no option to increase font sizes (except chat) or the size of certain UI elements (like Squad, which could also be counted as font but meh).

    Soooo, there is no problems graphically, everything works fine (if not better) at max 1440 BUT it strains my eyes because unlike on other games the font cannot be changed. A simple (im no programmer, but they already have the feature once in the game) increase font option WITH a way to increase the UI (because increasing the chat font aint as tidy as could of been if I could expand it to how I like). Increasing the font of Squad but keeping the same size squad bar would be pointless, I wouldnt be able to see half their names :).

    TL:DR
    -Graphics settings aint a problem. Everything runs fine BUT
    -No way to increase FONT size AND
    -No way to increase UI size.

    EDIT: Btw, the OP is me, it seems to have auto changed my name etc but not my OP xD
