Suggestion: Attack-Indikator as overlay in the portrait
Hi,
I dislike the Auto Attack-Indikator very much since this element destroys my letterbox-arrangement. Unfortunately this indikator is useful for me, when I'm playing in first person (which happened most the time). But I've noticed, that the indikator has nearly the same size as the portrait and since we are able to replace UI-elements I'd like to see just this pulsing circle (on the atack-indikator during combat) as an overlay on tthe protrait during combat. I hope, that someone can play around with this element and find a good solution since I don't have the time to play around with UI on my own. Thanks :) |
Ther eis a way to do it, but it requires at this time a very large letterbox image, most of it being transparent.
I had a similar idea and will release a bit for people to try... |
You know how big your panel is going to be in order to mount it up there? lol Minimum, I'm betting, of 5mb image. ;)
Edit: Hmmm... On second thought, you can make your panel the size of your display rez, then just mount your back panel image in the small area it resides in at the bottom of your screen...you're going to have big numbers for all your element placements, but it might work. At least, I don't believe your base panel background image has to be the same size as your panel element... It could, in the long run, make all your element placements easier, working off your main panel element starting at 0,0 and using your display dimensions for the placement of everything... :) |
So you can't place certain elements everywhere you like? Elements like teh attack-inidkator (the pulsin circle) can usually only be placed somewhere in the letterbox-area?

Still, as I said, you likely won't have to have a back panel image of immense proportions; just the base panel object will probably have to be the size of the display resolution. |

you could always shrink the toolbar down to where the Attack Indicator and Pip display was all that was showing(90x105) roughly..youd lose the bag/menu buttons, the exp bar and 1 hotkey bar, but you could possible do it.
Ive been playing around with moving all that stuff to the top :) |
Exactly; Whos to say we cant have the elements all at the top; the only downside is the first set of quickslots.
If you didnt use them, everything else could be at the top and look good. Maybe (Frosty?!!!) an option for not using that default 1st quickslot/shutting it off. Hmmmm |

Yes...48 hours almost straight of digging through the ui code has me learning a lot. lol |

..i wish the toolbar could be made so you could move it in layout mode (ctrl\) /sigh |
Ahh yes. lol There is that, too. Actually, even better. You just lose one hotbar.
|
honestly, with all the things I hotkey (potions, food, a ton of macro'd emotes and quips, various pieces of gear) I could use an additional hotbar or three. I dunno how you guys can even consider REDUCING the number of hotbars. You all are nuts! ;)
