On my klingon and regular fed toons all my UI elements are perfectly square/rectangular. However on my romulan all the elements are angled such that the bottom of each box is narrower than the top. Ive finally took the time to grab a part of a screenshot which illustrates this:

There is a section showing my inventory. The top right part is perfectly flush with the right side of the screen. However the further down you go the narrower it gets, where at the bottom there is on either side a noticeable bleedthrough of the game world by several pixels (which becomes very noticeable if im in a light toned area).
Now ive saved the UI on my klingon and loaded it on my romulan hoping it would fix, but no change. Changing the UI color also has no bearing on this issue. So I come to you folks to ask if anyone knows why this is happening and if theres any way I can fix this so all the elements are properly square/rectangular

Well obviously I care. Does it matter why? If it does then here it goes: my interface is different on one character compared to the other three. The difference is annoying and unfixable by my efforts.
Do we care ? Damn right we care it is annoying, I keep thinking my screen res is messed up. Then realise it isn't and its that damn sloppy work annoying me !

I have noticed this as well with my Chat Box and the power tray and how they also leave space at the sides down below because they shrink for some reason.
A bit off topic though: What item do you have 25 of there and what is in the top row 5 to the right just next to the Pirate Distress call?
The Romulan UI looks the way it does because it's similar to what Romulan computer displays looked like on the TV shows, angular in that fashion. I suppose it's significantly cultural to the Romulans because it vaguely resembles the shape of a raptor with spread wings, the flag of the Romulan Star Empire. Just Google Romulan Computer and you'll see.
It would be nice if we had more flexibility with the UI so we could use whatever style of UI we wanted for any faction.
Well id just like it to be uniform. We already have the option to change its color and position, but having this weird "angle" on the romulan UI and no way to adjust it is just darn annoying. Im more inclined to think its a bug as it doesnt make anything look better

Not that it will be easy for anyone else...
It IS intentional. And fits perfectly for the Romulans, im actually suprised the KDF ones aren't kind of similar.

You can. You can totally use FED themed UI's on your KDF or Romulan character, and vice versa. There is an option for this in the Options Menu.
This is just the way the UI's are. Just like how the FED UIs are rounded at the edges, and the KDF ones are somewhat harder, the Romulan UI's are possessed of these angles that are reminiscent of the Great Bird symbol associated with the Romulan Star Empire.
Romulan UI looked like that in other games that used it didn't it? New Worlds and Starfleet Command games used that style didn't they? (it has been a while since I played those so not sure really)
The Romulan UI (using his example, the Inventory), is not rectangular shaped. And i'm not just talking about the "green" shapes, i'm talking about the physical "size" of the various windows.
Perhaps this image illustrates it better:

As you can see, if you compare the red lines to the green lines of the UI, they certainly aren't 100% parallel with each other. Which means that the window itself regardless of styling, is not an exact rectangle. And no, it has nothing to do with OCD. The UI "style" is far and above the original UI. But I just think it could use a massive dose of spit and polish, and a few touch ups here or there.
(and yes it is OCD)

not sure but the 25 stack is probably cortical nodes, and the weapon looks like that proton gun you get in the spectres storyline, the one that is really strong vs devidians
Edit to add: ok the other right >_> that kinda looks like the console off of one of the romulan ships, I am unsure which one off the top of my head

Ah! God!
Yes... I now understand... it was a bit... too subtle in the OP... thought about the buttons and not the whole thing, classical "Can't see the forest with all those trees" situation.
Yes, that needs to be rectified... I am unsure how that even happend, did they just took a button stretched it and painted it black to act as background?
Ahh, I see it now. Although I don't really notice it while playing. It kind of looks intentional though, just like the rest of the Romulan UI with those inward angles.
This one even made me chuckle.

I'd think it would have to be. It'd be harder to do it by accident.
It's Romulan.

Intentionally? I don't know what to say. These windows suggest they are square. That is the way they look. The trapezium effect is only noticed after some very detailed inspecting. These windows will most likely be put in the corner of the main screen or alongside it. As such there is no positive cosmetic effect. When can argue about it of course, but a tiny split is far more a negative cosmetic effect, since it suggests it doesn't fit.
I short I would say, fix it.
@Taco as some people have pointed out, we're not talking about the green bits
We're talking about the black part
You should know by now that EVERYTHING in this game is an issue... :P
