Someone PMed me with this and I thought it was pretty neat, so i've rewritten it a bit and i'm sharing it with you all
This tip really works best for people who don't need to see thier concentration level, but for those that do, a variant of this tip would be to use the Infoblock version of the player window rather than the compact. It would take up the same amount of room but provide you with information on your concentration as well. Anyone else got any neat ways they are using the more advanced and flexible nature of Serenity?

With the compact player window at minimum size the player window is nice and very small, but you don't see any effects on you. But if you use this along with the effects stat strip you can put the effects wherever you want and still see them while keeping your player window small.
