Add icons to macro buttons?

[Yinnyth]

The one thing I've always wanted for my macros is the ability to change the color of individual buttons, pallettes, and sets of macros. All of my jobs have lines and lines of macros, and if I could give each line a distinctive color, I'd be much less likely to accidentally start singing fire carol when I wanted to sing horde lullaby. I don't think icons would help me out as much as customizable colors would, though to be fair it's been like half a year since I checked out ff14, so I forget how immediately recognizable the icon system is.

I dunno about icons, but it would be nice if you could have more than 4-5 visible characters for a macro title. Changing to a smaller or narrower font, and/or multi-line text would be nice. Kinda annoying having to figure out an abbreviated naming system for a dozen different cure spells or names for the -na spells along with the debuff spells themselves.

Right now my macro names look kinda like:
| Cur1 | Cur2 | Cur3 | Cur4 | Cur5 | Cur6 | Cga1 | Cga2 | Cga3 | Cga4 |
| Pois | Blind | Para | Slow | Silen | nPoi | nBln | nPar | Erase | nSil |
| Stn1 | Stn2 | Stn3 | Stn4 | Stn5 | gSt1 | gSt2 | gSt3 |
| Wtr1 | Wtr2 | ... etc etc etc.

I also like the color idea. Would be cool to have different colors for different macro buttons. Like one color for JAs, another for WS's, another for spells, etc.

If anything though, I'd like more text space in the macro buttons.

This might be asking for too much. I think they would have to do some major programming for this but hey what do I know.

I'd love for the macros to be more than just boring blue buttons.

Currently the development team is hard at work looking into adjustments for mouse and keyboard controls for the Windows version UI. This is a higher priority for them at the moment, but if they have an opportunity in the future to revamp the entire GUI, they will look into it at that time.
