The way the human brain works. it will not notice that something is missing as easily as it will recognize something new... so the creation of LARGE health meters is really a waste of space, what is required is something with contrast which will show up when health is low... I drew up a quick plan for group player and target bars.



Also there is nothing worse than having the wrong thing targetted, screwing up a CH because you had the NPC targetted accidentally.. or nuking a player thus wasting time.. or attacking a friendly NPC during ring war... just a few examples... so my idea was to make the target name LARGE... health %s and mana bars could be easily added to this... tell me what you think

That is an EXCELLENT idea, Lacer.

Making things easier to understand and use is what a user interface is all about. Making things super realistic can be an art... but making things easier to use can be a science.

Someone do this! I'm too busy with my new site lately to do much of anything

I wondered.. why not make it completely inverted.. with the red bars in the screenshot black and the background going from green (100% HP) to yellow (50%) to red (0%)?

Some way you want to see the end of the bar though.. so Grey maybe is better than black.. or some border around the black bar..

On the target health I (as melee) mostly targets mobs so there maybe the coloring should be reversed.. (red = 100&, green = 0%)

Otherwise a very nice idea.. and I look forward to the result..
