I like the second one mostly. I don't like the "floating text" deal with the third one, but I'm sure quite a few people like to have their actual Hit Points visible [I for one don't care, I only stare at a small bar that has Player, Target, and Implied (Profit's)].
|
If I go with that design, I was thinking of making the infobar part at the top a toggleable deal, and would provide 2 versions with the defaults each way. Since the infobar is the only difference between #2 and #3.

Just thinking ahead, will you offer the group in horizontal format? I like to have mine as compact as possible (height wize) across the bottom, just above my chat and hotbars of Letterbox.

The group window will most likely be in a volume page so it will be flexible. If for some reason I end up not doing it in a volume, then it will be made in 2 version, one horizontal and one vertical.

Also, not sure what you have planned for "fill", but when you do it, if you can, maybe put some kind of outline or bevel on it to make the complete guage stick out. It's easier to view the battle that way IMHO.
|
Not quite sure what you mean by "fill". The gauges seem to stick out fine over my dummy screen there. Thats part of the reason I put those endcaps on #2 and #3, to make the bars more visible. IMHO in #1 they are kind of too subtle.

Name not realy important for a player window likes... But personaly I like the one's on the right still , Why not just slim that down a bit insted?
|
Well about the only slimming down I can do on the original player window is to remove the concentration bubbles and replace it with text up by the name. That does shorten it slightly, but it doesn't change the underlying problem of the gauges being nice but slightly too large. Which means that the implied target and target windows still suffer from being a bit too large as well with no real way to make them smaller.
But now that I think some more on it and look at my mockups.. it seems really its the TEXT that is the liming factor on the height. Even though the new gauges are smaller, the 100% text indicators really take up the same vertical height as the old ones, and therefore really don't save anything.
HMMMMMMMMMM
Thanks for the comments all.
