Duration display in effects window mods
 

I got the mods from ger that put the effects left aligned and maintained right aligned in a horizontal layout, and it was originally made to show the durations of the effects, but apparently some data elements were removed by SOE.

My question is this: if the tooltip displays the duration, the data is there. why can't you pull the data from the same place? It sure would be nice to not have to hover to see the durations.

Because SOE broke it.

I'm sure you could add the tooltip in a similar way to the Hotkey mods which show this. However, the tooltip would be shown in it's full format, which shows the spell name, target and THEN the duration. Lots of wasted space, especially as the target still isn't the actual target of the spell, before you get the information you need.
I think.

Not only that, but the information would only show on mouseover, and im pretty sure it wouldnt refresh unless you moused over. S, while you COULD get the tooltip to display, it would only refresh if you moused over. defeats the point.

SOE just needs to FIX the spell duration Dynamic Data. I miss that info as well, as using the mouse to "mouse over" and see how long a short duration spell has during combat is really a PITA.
