Hotbar text sizing
Previous to GU#51, I had my hotbars set at 34 size. This allowed my hotbar text to show as:
1, 2, 3, ... 0, -, =
A1, A2, ... A-, A=
C1, C2, ... C-, C=
... you know, the shortened text. It seems with GU#51 that small size where text is shortened has been lowered to I believe 29. Though it only changed my Alt hotbar, and not my Ctrl hotbar. So now I have different ammounts of text showing. 29 size is pretty small.
To the point....
Would really like an option to just show shortened text or not. I already can't stand seeing Alt-1, Alt 2-, etc, across all my buttons, and they look mismatched without text showing at all. I'm sure many would differ in what size they think text should be shortened so I think an option would be very nice.
Thanks!

Hmmmm. Well I wanted to thank you deeply, but the command doesn't seem to work on live (dunno about test)!

Maybe I mistyped it? Can't test right now but I know I've used it in the past on live. You might need to relog for it to work also, don't remember.

I received an Unknown command error when using it. I tried typing in /hotbar and pressing <tab> to see any other commands that might work, but I was unable to get any desired results, even after totally closing the game and logging back in.
Lemme know if you figure out the correct way to go about it. Thanks!

Can't imagine why they would have removed that command, maybe it's a bug? I just checked my The / list reloaded post, I have it on there, so it did recently exist.

Try fiddling with the /hotbar_default_char_width command.
I changed the way the text is displayed on a hotbar, because it was goofy before.
Previously the text display was keyed to the icon size. Unfortunately, if you had a long hotkey description like "Ctrl-Alt-Shift-1", and you had it on a normal sized-icon, the text would bleed over into the next two icons and it looked terrible.
I changed it so that it now does what it should have been doing in the first place. The hotbar determines what type of text it should show based on the length of the text. So even if you have a big icon, but the text wont fit inside it, it shortens the text to the abbreviated version.
So in your situation it sounds like the larger text is big enough to fit within your icon, so its showing the larger text. If you mess with the command I mentioned at the top of the post, you should be able to get it to display smaller text. If that doesnt work, let me know and I can look at the code when I get back to work on Monday.

Hmm okay. I tried messing with that command already and had no luck in-game or after logging. I tried values like 2, 3, 10, 40. Dunno what to put.
*edit* Also, while we're talking about it. People have been asking UI authors for a long time for an abbreviations for the <NUMPAD>. I would suggest NP or KP (for keypad). This would be very useful as <NUMPAD> gets cut off pretty much no matter what size ya use, unless ya got some huge honkin' hotbars.

Hoping you can check this out Rothgar, and see if it's possible to change the side on the client's end, or if another changed on your end needs to be made. Thanks
