Since my return to Norrath, I've been using the same buff/effects window from my old UI (screenshots found HERE), and I have a question about modifying it a touch.

This is something I remember trying to accomplish back when I was into modding, but abandoned the idea because I couldn't get it to work.
I like the vertical buff line...in fact, I love it. Although my UI now is quite different from the one I used to use, I am still running into the same issue, with my buff slots. Now, adding in the extra five buff slots for PoR (once I pick up the expansion) is not an issue I can't tackle...easy stuff, for me, especially after adding slots 16-20 (take a look at the TGA, and you'll see what I mean. =P ), HOWEVER, once I do, I will be sorely lacking room for the effects window...as in, due to my melee/spell spam windows on the bottom right of my screen, I won't have ANY space. While I can't really see a use for more than six shown song slots, as that should be the extent of bard twisting in a group, or raid (health/mana songs, and the proper resist, as far as I recall...so not many slots needed), my main issue is that I'd like to make the short duration effects window ONLY horizontal (with buff labels underneath the icons. As I said, I've tried this before, and couldn't get it working, so fishing for suggestions and insight here.
