Description

This is a small UI change I made to facilitate playing on the steam deck.

I am mostly uploading this for personal use as this fixes a few issues I had with playing wow on the deck. if you choose to use this please let me know what you think.

The steam deck uses a resolution of 1280*800, this crops the gme height and width to give you a rendered area of 1080*720

The black bars left on the top and bottom (40px each) are used for player, pet and target unitframs, XP and rep bars, menu bar, bag button, chat toggle. and minimap information.

The right side of the screen is using the full 200 px wide area pushing the gameview to the right. I am working on making sure all elements of the UI are properly centered on the enw gameview location.

The right 200px rail carries the minimap and the objective tracker leaving much more space to see what is happening in the actual rendered game area. 

Even though the game view is much smaller on the Steam deck

1080*720 vs 1280*800 the changed render area still feels big enough since the FOV takes into account the new rendered area and doesnt just crop the rendered game view down. This allows there to be almost as much game area viewed in the smaller port while allowing the UI to love outside of the rendered area instead of covering it up.

Also the chat window is toggleable which means it can be hidden. It does show if there are any unread chat messages in general/guild/etc and flashed pink when you receive a whisper.
