Group Window Background

altir · #1 02-25-2009, 07:32 PM

I know it has been mentioned, but I just wanted to add my request for this.
As a healer the group window is the most important, to see heal bars and cure counters. With being transparent, sometimes all the action and spell effects can make it hard to see. I am getting better at it, but sometimes something will flash bright and I will miss a cure.

I agree! I'm finding it's very strenuous on the eyes after a couple hours of raiding at night. I put my group window right in the middle of my screen just slightly below the center so all the action is going on right behind my window but that's where I need it so I can get those cures off fast enough. Please can't you do something to give us the option of a dark background or a translucent one?

I'm pretty sure I added that option a week ago, check the changelog (and let me know if I forgot uploading it, lol).

It's working as intended :P

I have no option to change the back ground, can you explain how i change it, the rest of my windows will darken but this one will not.

As I said, read the changelog.

I think I have the same problem. When I am out of group, my window won't show when I hit F10 but my pointer will have the move symbol next to it when I point over the invis group window. Sliding the backdrop opacity doesn't do anything. While I am in group, sliding the backdrop opacity only puts a ring around our names, not darkening the window. I've even tried changing the frame and title, reinstall of profit ui, change the Background Opacity number in the _ProfitUI_Settings_GroupWindow file but no luck (after I did this I had no group window at all thats where I had to reinstall profit).

For anybody that needs to know, got to Profit Ui control Center and move the slider on Group Window Backdrop Opacity. Thanks for making me read the updates. I can help myself more readily now

I would just like the background behind the health bars, the white translucent one is not doin it for me. I like the way it used to look, with the border around and the dark grey background behind the bars. The slider is neat and all, but puts a big black box in the middle of my screen =/ I use the compact window in horizontal mode.

I think you confuse that with the default sized version. The compact version looks like it always did (with the exception of the FKey numbers which have moved). However, I am still planning on adding a background image as in the default sized version.

You're right, i went back and looked at old screen shots and see that it had the same translucent white background. I'd love if it would have the same health bars as the player window (think thats what its called, the one with Player > Target > Implied Target) because they're really easy to see in any background!

Already added that a bit earlier today.

Default sized and compact group window versions should now be as good as identical in functionality and layout options.

They are not... and neither one has the border/darker background like the player window. Yes I updated today. Attached are screenshots taken today, just a couple hours ago. I like the way the healthbars look in the player window (which I have under the group window) rather than the whitish translucent background currently being used. Oh, and can we get the class put back? I have kind of gotten used to that!

you know I usually don't respond not reading changelos and FAQ, but let me point you to either.
