I think it is counter-intuitive to have the "apply" button on top of the options when every programs most people use have the "apply" button at the bottom of the setting/parameters box.

You have a point up there. Is always a good thing to improve the UI's Usability.

One possibility could be to highlight this control in the moment that any setting changes do occur.

Just an idea too.

Yeah, that could work too. I thought of that because when I wanted to change it to fullscreen I couldn't find the apply button and what I thought was another video option was the damn thing. They could maybe implant both, too.

I didn't even see the Apply button until Th4nis called attention to the fact that there was an Apply button on that screen in the first place. And I'm no newbie, I've done tech support for years. I just seriously was UI-blind to a button even being there at all until someone made me start looking.

The fact the font is in white against a very pale grey background doesn't help. The_Silencer got a point with the highlight feature.

I will have to agree with the OP.

And while were at it, how about an 'ok' or 'close' button or something to close the options window and go back to the cool-looking background-screen-thingy like when you first open the game.

I actually agree too LOL. Our engineers are pretty swamped right now though... expect to see those menus polished in the coming weeks when things settle down a bit!
