Speed limits UI is huge

[RenaKunisaki]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1728287987 the speed limit icons are gigantic. Could stand to be the same size as the main panel.

I also had this problem when I was on previous computer - it would fill half the screen. Yup, we're planning on redoing the whole UI.

Duplicates #84

@RenaKunisaki I've marked this as duplicate as the work is already planned as part of #84 - please subscribe that issue instead to monitor progress.

For now tried the following:

• reducing the texture sizes: reducing too much creates ugly white pixel artifacts around each sign, so had to stop at 70px which looks kind of OK;
• removing flexible spacers between signs and on the left: this allowed to have buttons much closer together;
• stacking the controls below the signs, vertically: this allowed to reduce window width.

More can be done of course, i will continue. Can also try and replace checkboxes with icon buttons. Also should try and scale using the fixed pixel size as reference for 1920x1080 screen, and scaling up or down if the user has different screen.

I think the flat buttons I'm working on might help here.

see http://www.41post.com/3816/programming/unity-scaling-the-gui-based-on-the-screen-resolution

@kvakvs GUI resolution should be done somewhat globally in a tool class, and then applied to all GUI windows.

I can't see how @kvakvs suggestion would work in practice. either we have to implement a wrapper over all of GUI or our tool class would be limiting. I think we need a helper class that would provide some helper functions in this regard and maybe wrap a few commonly used GUI API.

Yes there is going to be an UI builder helper and maybe a few new subclasses for common UI elements (buttons, panels, images etc), which will scale self properly. That's is the plan at least.

This has been resolved by #1152, #1157, #1168

Issue #1221 is tracking discussion of additional enhancements which may be made in future.
