Expanded Enemy Window 1.2
-- About
Expanded Enemy Window is a trivially simple graphical mod that slightly expands the enemy window (duh), allowing you to see more of the ship you are currently fighting with.
It's not really needed with vanilla FTL -- since most enemies fit in the bounds nicely -- but some mods have designs too awesome to be contained in such a small space. This is especially useful to see drones, allowing you to see whether they're ready to shoot or not (...slightly more often)

Without the mod
With the mod installed
-- I hoped for something bigger. Why is it so small?
The frame is exactly 30 pixels wider and 26 pixels higher. The reason for that is due to the way FTL is programmed -- trying to make the window any bigger causes its rightmost part to fall outside of the game's screen, instead of extending leftwards.
Which looks pretty ugly, if you ask me, and doesn't really provide you more vision...
So admittedly, it's not really significant, but hopefully useful to some marginal extent.

Expanded Enemy Window 1.2
The mod is purely graphical, therefore it causes no dramatic compatibility issues. It'll obviously be at odds with other UI mods that change the enemy window (FTL Remastered, for example), but it will only be a matter of which mods' effects take precedence.
