Things I would add and windows I would change!
You said to allow for overall color tinting, I would also like to expand that and ask for activated window tinting. Example your activated or current window is color and if its not active its grey scale.
Maintained effects:
Allow for the icon size to be adjusted under the options menu.
Make the black shade for countdown easier to see.
Add target information(advanced)
Add duration information(advanced)
When you hover over the icons area this changes to name of spell
Add amount remaining(advanced)
Allow for you to toggle the advanced information on and off. Turning advanced information off would make it look the same as it does now.
I really don't have a logical answer for this but I think its a huge pain how as a support class probably half your maintained spells are your buffs. Leaving little room for your debuffs, buffs or procs. There should be some way of working this out. More later.
Spell effects:
Allow for the icon size to be adjusted under the options menu.
Make the black shade for countdown easier to see.
Give us the information name and duration.
Split this window into two windows, one for until canceled buffs or buffs longer than one hour. Another for temporary buffs that way it makes it easy to see procs ect, this is a huge problem. Like I said before the maintained is also very cluttered with the addition of this new window you could move all BENEFICIAL maintained spells here too. Making a new Beneficial window, maintained window(or hostile window), Buff window and detrimental window.
Detrimental effects:
Allow for the icon size to be adjusted under the options menu.
Make the black shade for countdown easier to see.
Give us the information name and duration.
Hot bars:
For the love of god get rid of the spinners!
Maybe throw the bank control in hot bar settings since they can still be adjusted with hot keys? Just make a marker of some sort which is your active hot bar! Or just really make it so if you hide the spinner it doesn't have dead space :P
Get rid of the border so they can be used as a block.
Make the black shade for countdown easier to see.
Allow for timers under hot bar settings.
Remove the clear all option in the drop down and move it to hot bar settings window.
Show timers for items.
Chat:
Make the tabs more compact.
Make the scroll bar hide unless you hover over the window.
Target window:
Add Percent health and power.
Give us the actually health amount pwease
Implied window:
Add Percent health and power.
Give us the actually health amount pwease
Start button:
Get rid of it
Compass:
Add a small round eq2 emblem to the bottom of it and make it the new start button.
Heroic opportunity:
Just condense it a tad and cooler graphics.
Quest journal helper:
Allow for showing multiple quest in a collapsible tree esq thing.
Quest journal:
horizontal view kind of like explorer.
Group window:
Allow for the player window to snap into here or make a option to have it be part of the group window all together.
Show health and power percents or values.
Build pet health into group members.
Player window:
like I said before snap into the group window.
Remove concentration crap that can go into the persona window.
Change appearance to mimic the group window.
Socials window:
Switch macros tab with emotes making it the primary.
Allow you to drag the order of macros for reorganization.
Raid window:
Shrink it a tad.
Two modes, show curse and show all five detrimentals.
If in a square names should go from the center out. Expanding on that the top two groups should fill from the bottom up and bottom two should fill from the top down.
Bags:
Have two modes under the options menu all in one or individual.
All in one would be the same as if they were just next to each other in a block. Still respect the bag rules and order but appear as one block with the title in the top left(Bags) and the x at the top right.
Persona window: EDITED****
All the drop down options just make those visable all the time! There is no reason not to there is plenty of room.
That is all I can think of at this late hour couldn't really sleep so decided to get the ball rolling. Hope this is the kind of stuff you are looking for.
