Hi, for some reason the map controls overlay went right(see screenshot) and now I cannot return it to its original state. Any ideas what happened and how I can reset the map controls position? (Windows 7, FreeCol 0.13.0)
You can fix this by changing "Preferences > Interface > Map Controls > Map Controls" to "Corners". Afterwards you need to restart the game in order for the change to have effect.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Are anyone actually using the classic map controls (intentionally)? We should either just remove the classic map controls or invest some time into making it better. For example, switching map control should have immediate effect rather than requiring a restart.

Hey, the suggested approach actually worked, thanks :) Seems I have missed the part with the application restart when I was trying to find a solution.
About the classic map controls - I personally think this variant of the view is unneeded, also it seems kinda buggy to me(overlaps part of the map from the right...). I also agree that the change of the map controls view should take effect without restart.
Oh and BTW the default keyboard combination for the map controls visibility toggling doesn't work(CTRL+M) - when I modify this keyboard shortcut to something else - it is working.

Not I. IIRC when the new ones were introduced there were some hold out
users, but that is a while back now.

+1 for removal, the code complication is a pain.
