Suggestions & Requests / Widescreen resolutions

I was trying to take advantage of my screen a bit more but none of the resolutions match the shape of my screen very well.

If we could get a smattering of widescreen resolutions or custom resolutions, I'm sure at least a few people would use them.

Suggestions & Requests / Better folder structure

« on: January 05, 2010, 08:38:24 PM »

As we all know, Windows Vista and Windows 7 enforce a new set of rules for where programs should write data. Users who want to install addons need to get administrative privileges to copy the zip file to the Program Files folder. Anything Blockland writes in its own directory ends up in the virtual store and most users have no idea that this even exists.

I suggest moving all settings-based data to the AppData folder under the current user and have the addons folder somewhere user accessible. A folder under My Documents or even a new folder in the user's main folder would be appropriate.

If there are good reasons for using the current system, I'd like to hear them. If not, I'd like to see it changed. I'm a programmer so feel free to get technical if you need to, but I expect that it's more for the sake of being simple than anything.

Off topic: Also, the forum is a little odd. I can't tab from the message are [this box I'm typing in] to the Post button without hitting every other object in the window first.
