Could you optimize the layout? Right now there is wasted space in avatar/player box when playing it requires the player to use the scroll buttons which shouldn't be the case. It's not a big problem to scroll but why scroll when you don't have too? Besides you could see all 7 cards before on starting hand without scrolling why change it?


top is current layout, bottom is suggested

Space between nickname and button is used for current/last action targets.
Space between flux and mulligan button used for domains. They are getting closer to each other, so in current layout there is enough space for displaying 5-6 domains without placing them too close to each other. Also you can have up to 18 domain levels in theory :)

We changed this layout not so long ago, made it slightly smaller already. But trying to make things as small as possible is bad idea in general.

Oh, now I see why you posted this - on some resolutions right panel getting bigger and you see 6 of 7 cards instead of all cards. That's wrong, but can and will be fixed in different way.

While resizing window chat moved earlier than it should, so we got scroll in hand.

Yeah, sometimes it shows fine on games with more than 2 players. Thanks
