I came here while looking for a solution to larger map tag icons. I was wondering if this concept could be extended to those?

What I want to accomplish, is the ability to place a LARGE (2x or even 8x?) very easy to see icon (alpha to max so it isn't transparent)(maybe a shadow or outline) over different parts of the base where different things are produced. Currently there are 2 ways to do it. Regular map tags scale with zoom, so they always stay the same size on the map view. Icons inserted into the text of the tag will scale to always be the same size on the screen. Both, in my opinion, are too small. Bad eyes, as you said. I end up using both, the tag icon shows up when I am zoomed in far enough to see it, and the text icon for when I am zoomed out further. It results in a cluttered look at both levels.

It's an interesting idea. I'll take a look.

I found a way to increase icon size, unfortunately it affects all tags. Text is harder to handle, but it can also be enlarged. It requires some shenanigans and wouldn't work with other mods that change the font (it quite literally is 'patching' the tag to use a different font every time it is changed). It has some weird side-effects, like other labels will be smaller, and I don't think I'd be able to change player name sizes, which may not be an issue.

Hmm, too bad. In the mean time, I am using those in game display things (i forget what they're called) to project the icon of a letter onto the map. Spelling out words one at a time.
