Talking Suggestions!

Ello!

As previously posted, I love this, and once again, just wanna say thanks! for keeping it going. I seriously think you've done enough to it now to rename it to Laffperdtya or something more snappy, and short!

Talking of short....Whilst this UI is the best one for me, Id still like to clear more stuff away off my screen to give me a larger playing area.

I have some suggestions you may or may not *giggle* want to consider! Ive numbered em so its easier for you to say *1,2,3 and 5, bugger off Madhog!*

As you can see from my screeny Im hopefully including, I have altered the layout a little. I tried playing with the black addon you gave but *ahem* it looked awful.

1. Is it possible to do a dark grey background with black edges so that it doesnt matter which bits you put where, it still looks skinned?

Also, the bar thingy at the bottom where buffs go into, Im sure at one point I was able to not display the triangle end bit and had it looking like the box that the spell name appears in when casting.

2. Any chance of a buff boxthingy looking like the spell name casting boxthingy?

As Ive said in the past, I dont see the need for lots of stuff on screen, and I much prefer the start button mod shown.

3. Any chance of doing a Lite version that includes this so I dont have to keep remembering which bits Ive changed?? One without the CSM, graphics options, hood thing, etc etc on would be fab!

Of all the addons Ive seen, the bestest I love the mostest is the notes one.

4. Any chance of adding a clicky link under the paper doll to launch notes? In fact, if you could remove that bloody doll even better! You could put this version in the lite one you're now thinking about doing! Genius!

Id really love to have more space at the bottom.

5. Is it possible to reduce the height of the group box? Maybe by moving the LFG boxes and removing this dead space along the bottom?

With this in mind, if you can shrink the group box, it would breate a handy little space for the implied target! If...

6. I dont like slopey edges. If you could remove the background of the targets target element, and even better, make it the same style as the casting name boxthingy, it would drop into the newly created space! Snug!

Finally, I love the ability to take off names / titles on the hotbars. Well, Ive discovered I prefer them with nothing on them, so I select this look from the top of each bar. I ding, or move an icon and the bloody titles appear on ALL my hotbars!

7. Could you make the hotbars not toggleable? Just make one with no titles on?

Well thats all, been meaning to post this for a while but keep forgetting, I know most of it you will laff at and I am aware that most if not all wont be done, just thought Id throw some ideas into the melting pot for ya to ponder on
