I hate to break it to you, but unless your specific monitor is showing you something else, the tiles in both of these screenshots are the exact same size in pixels. I literally measured them both (just in case my eyes were somehow lying to me when just visually looking at them side by side showed the same thing).
If that second screenshot was forged by you, then my bad. But if that's how the new version looks currently for you, then it's the same (also you can magnify the map icons)
The second image is an obvious photoshop, it is supposed to represent how I wished the legacy sidebar looked.
The point I was making about the tiles is they currently are too small for my liking, an issue the old versions didn't have(yes I know you can just click a button and enlarge the map, but older versions of the game didn't have that feature because they didn't NEED it—the tiles and icons were decently sized in those versions)
Plus I'm still not a fan of where the legacy sidebar re-positions the map/stats bar, it's not really legacy style since the locations of those UI elements are reversed from how they used to be. I'm already used to the OLD layout, I really don't wanna have to learn a new one.
I'm sorry these might seem like minor nitpicks, but they matter enough to me that they're why I haven't jumped on the newer builds.
