This plugin allows players to have larger size news windows. Specifically, there are now three larger sizes you can choose from. Considering the current news window to be Small, the new sizes are Medium, Large, and Extra Large. You pick one, but you can swap it out for either of the others (or just go back to Small) any time the game isn't running. The default Small window is 228 pixels high; the Medium news window, shown in the upper left picture, doubles that to 456 pixels. Of course, as you can tell, it's still possible to overflow this window with news, especially if you open some items. So there is a Large size, which is 700 pixels tall, shown in the lower left picture. Finally, for people with big monitors, there is the Extra Large size, which is 1000 pixels tall, and which is shown in the picture on the right.
Although the Extra Large size just about fills the available space on a 1920x1200 screen, it's still not too hard to fill it up, especially if you use it for DAMN
menus. If you have the Urgent Advice Dialogs option turned off, these menus automatically show up in the news window. You can see how you can balance the amount of news you have with the size of your menus.

In addition to the three news window sizes, this plugin also contains a special version of the file customMenu.dat. When installed, this file allows DAMN menus always to open in the news window, regardless of whether Urgent Advice Dialogs are turned on.
This mod has no dependencies.
