They consume way less vertical space so you could stack them on top of each other if you want space for the map. Additionally, they are more visual. Now if you run into a wall you get a square turning from green to read instead of just some line with an attached number moving which should reduce brain lag
Is there a way to predict exactly how tall a font will be? There is some weird code for the title, I just copied this for the value, but it's far from exact.
I think the best would be to re- add the old gauges and make them configurable via something like RUBBER_GAUGE_TYPE.
Code: Select all
