I have the following problem with playing in windowed mode (which is the only mode possible since SDL breaks ALT+TAB and freezes mouse if fullscreen mode is used):
With resolution 1920x1080, which is the native one for my monitor, the topmost message in the geoscape screen is not visible, only the two or three bottommost pixels of it. The reason for this is that the Window bar at the top takes up some space and the message text is hidden beneath that. You can really only view the message after another message pops into the queue. This is, to say the least, highly annoying.
Would it be possible to move the placement of the message list top to one or two rows below the very top of the geoscape screen? This would handily eliminate the problem without needing to add something like a frame for the entire geoscape screen.
