I've been messing withit quite a bit and I'd love some feedback. I intend this window to be modular, in the sense that all one will have to do to make it appropriate to one's class is comment/uncomment Pieces and possibly adjust some Y locations on gauges. And I decided it needed a little color EDIT: This would be the basic hybrid version, FYI, or what I would use with my Ranger... for Melee I (personally) would lose the Manabar and move STA and EXP up, for Caster I would lose STA and add Casting bar, etc...

I'm not sure what the 0000/0000 or 000/000 is above the resists. Do you intend for this to be a general purpose MOD? __________________ Kweil Treehuger Hierophant of Tunare

I used full sets of 0's to make sure I had enough room every which way. As far as there being too much... I can see that. Of course, the default Window is fairly simple, really... I personally like to see (what I consider) important info without having to access my inventory all the time. I'm hoping it's general enough to be useful to a variety of players, yes, which is why I tried to make it as modular as possible (meaning, requiring as little XML changes as possible to adjust it for different classes).

I would get rid of the Stats and weight since the stats don't change that much and most people don't really have a need to allows know their weight. But thats just me, its your mod so do as you please p.s. For anyone how doesn't know...KISS (in this post ) means: Keep It Simple Stupid. Which are very good words to live by

There does seem to be alot but once a person was useto it. it would be a nice reminder that a buff dropped or a debuff was on.

Maybe make the blue lighter? Other than those two it's great. __________________ They have taken the bridge and the second hall.. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long.

Thanks! I made some changes (including lightening the blue) but haven't had a chance to get back to it in quite a while. If I have time, I'll break out my laptop and upload a new pic.

I didn't display the AA XP bar because all my characters are <40... the original idea was modularity, where the user could switch gauges in and out just by commenting/uncommenting Pieces and tweaking the locations... not 100% that'll work as intended though, since it seems 4 gauges is as much as I have room for. Still, one could take out the Fatigue gauge and move things up... I'm not totally happy with it, but I may have reached the limit of compromise.

I'll see if I can't get a new SS up, and maybe even get the file uploaded for moderation (in which case it would be available by Friday, I'd think).

I'd be very interested in the mod you've got. I like to keep an eye on all that info as I'm playing, weight, hps stats, etc. all mean alot to me as a Shaman. Nothing sucks quite like trying to run and then finding out yer encumbered just that little bit too much to escape.
