Hotkeys with Labels

Is this an idea I should develop? Rather, is it something anyone would use? It's the hotkey bar with labels at the top of the buttons.

No no no, I haven't written text on the images, those are text objects in the XML.

that all depends on how you enter the text for the labels. explain!

if its xml, no.
if its in game and you can save it, totally. It would rock for custom macros.

Bah, you guys!
The labels say exactly what the tooltip of that hotkey says. You don't edit them by hand in any way (well, since the tooltip of a macro is whatever you named the macro, the label will say whatever you entered for the macro name). I'm just doing some fine-tuning then it'll be ready.

Sweetness.

What WILL you come up with next?

Flipping love it Quib.
I'll definately be investigating using something along these lines.
I so miss the simple hotkeys of EQ1, instead of having to remember what all these icons mean, especially the ones available for custom macros.

Nice one.

Depends on your definition of 'mess things up.' It will overwrite your old hotbar mod, changing it to the one Quib's posted here. So if you have a custom size or behavior mod in place for your hotbar, you'll lose it, but you'll gain the text labels. (And trust me, if it's a size mod you'll want to lose it—I tried adapting Quib's code for 3/4 size hotbars and omigod, teeny tiny text hehe)
