GUI Scaler (Fix Small Spawnmenu)

Description
Scale Gmod's GUI to your liking with ease!
Should work on every resolution! (including 4:3!)


guiscaler_scale_multiplier
- Scales the GUI, default is 1.
You can configure the GUI Scale and more in Spawnmenu>Options>GUI Scaler>Configure


By default, the mod scales the GUI (all vgui elements) to be what it would look like at 1920x1080 resolution. The console command above is completely optional if that is how you like it.

TL;DR: if you have bigger than 1920x1080 then text wont be small

Do you have issues with GUI Scaling? Use this command:
guiscaler_only_spawnmenu - If set to 1, the scaling will only affect the spawnmenu. If set to 2, the context menu and spawnmenu will both be affected. Otherwise if set to 0, all gui elements will be scaled. (Default is 1)

Other commands:

guiscaler_update - Force rescales the GUI.
guiscaler_reset - Tries to reset the GUI elements to original dimensions.
All other commands are under guiscaler_


DISCLAIMER:
There are some small side effects to the scaling, such as: Slightly higher spacing between spawn icons (everything but prop spawnicons), and blue selection highlights not fully covering the text.

Reasoning for these things varies, but if you have a solution please report it in the bug report section!

Want to scale the main menu and the console? see here:
Since the mod can only edit vgui elements and not HTML or internal code, you will have to do a little more manual work to get those things the scale you want.

For the console you have to change the console font in garrysmod/resource/SourceScheme.res

find the line "ConsoleText" and change the values next to "tall". there is two "tall" parameters but just change both for quick purposes. (idk where the font is for the console command text that you type in)



For the main menu open the html file in garrysmod/html/menu.html in a *text editor* (important)

At the very top under the first <head> paste the following:

<style type='text/css'>html {zoom:1.25;}</style>

The 1.25 in {zoom:1.25;} is the zoom value, tweak to your liking.

you can put whatever looks best, there isn't really any standard value.
