The guage itself is 116x8, plus the endcaps. The way the vertical guage idea works will make it pretty laggy during casting time, so if you have any problems with the particle effects, I wouldn't reccomend using this. Let's say, 30px wide by 120 tall. That should be ok. I'll post a TGA of it here when I get it done. Was thinking of doing it as animated, but I think only high-end comps would be able to cope with that. I made a horizontal cast bar that was animated strands of mana flowing between 2 hands for wizards (gonna do lightning instead for that one), but imagine running 2 GOOD animations at the same time... that is what it would be like having a vertical animated casting bar, lol.
Actually, what I'll probably do is put a shot of 3 or 4 different lightnings to see what would be best looking for ya.
