This is how I have my HUD set up. Everything that I want and need in my screen haha.

Yeah people act like it's some kind of sin against message board code, or something.
But it's probably the best way to go about things.

Here's my HUD set up. Not the most elegant, but it does it's job, and is less cluttered than the default settings. I also turn of the duty list whenever I'm in a dungeon, since you really don't need it there to begin with. Otherwise, I have all the essentials, plus my gil count and the time....

EDIT: My LB bar appears just above my EXP bar in the bottom left....

Realized I missed showing a lot of things in that first picture.

I need more sideways hot bars for all my mounts and minions. :c

My boyfriend complains my main hot bars are too big all the time, LOL

[EDIT] One of my static-mates asked me why my inv is divided so weird. Those 39 items are Sol/High Allagan gear that I don't need anymore and I wish I could turn in for GC seals. QwQ

Already posted it in another thread... Oh well, this is mine :3

I play on laptop with controller (the screen isn't big but I can't remove things from my HUD, I need everything ;_; )

My HUD

http://i.imgur.com/5tfuOeO.jpg

The pet bar displays to the bottom right as the third bar. The space in the top-left is reserved to the yet to come dps display. Alliance frames are towards the top in the center, horizontally spread out.

There's one hidden horizontal hotbar which is filled with markers so I can key-bind them. (I think we can keybind them directly now, I probably do this because I did it during beta.)

I absolutely hate the quest tracker frame and eagerly await some way to hide that bloody thing during dungeons. The quest journal tracker behavior in my opinion is a "WTF" affair.

Also lately I've been playing with other classes (I main PLD) and sometimes find the party frame obstructing. I've been thinking of moving it back to the top-left corner. But I don't really have good hand-eye co-ordination and often lose track of my mouse cursor during battle (I rely heavily on tab-targeting and swivel my camera view all the time so the cursor often isn't displayed), so having the party list close by is quite important for me when I heal (my often play WHM as well).

I wish I could get rid of all the hotbars but I have literally macros for... everything. I don't use voice chat often and believe anyone can learn a fight if they have the right resources so I've dedicated myself to creating call macros for... everything. hahaha Anyway, I stick my party list pretty close to my character as well as my focus target so I can see everything going on in all my jobs situations. It's especially helpful as healer. I like to have everything in one "general" spot. I love how people position their radars in a lot of these screen shots but... I can't seem to get use to it anywhere else. lol

Oh and look at all 'dem friend requests. :( Please make an easier/faster way to delete those, my god.

Sorry for raiding this but

Do you guys know about that over-the-HUD decorations thingy that a lot of twitch streamers use?

Can we use them here?

I know I'm not streaming but I would like my HUD to look pleasant.

You can do that. I made myself this overlay for my hud. Open in new tab so you can see it better.

What program did you use to make this?

Unsure of what to put in the upper left side. I don't like going up there.

Alliance info is on far right. Two horizontal bars auto-swap on pet summons and are hidden otherwise, another horizontal bar is for signs only, which hides/unhides by clicking the + sign macro on the left vertical bars and pops up right above the chat box

My current layout - so much more room than my old layout on my smaller monitor T_T

You people and your cluttered 10 bar UIs :p

Well, I tried many 'undelete' softwares but weirdly enough, none of the recovered files contained my old settings =(

So here is my new HUD, minus all the awesome macros I had T_T

Alliance 1 & 2 are on top left corner and Party frame right under it.

For the image i have used Photoshop CS2 and for the overlay play claw 5.

It looks nice, i really like it so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34nfv-9-zIQ

Your overlay video reminds me of an add-on in World of Warcraft...forgot its name. It reacts to events in the game (buffs, debuffs, procs etc) and you can set it to show image (with effects like slide-in, zoom, etc), and many people had proc notifications tied to anime character images.

The dev's decision to strictly control how people use the interface in FFXIV is a sad affair, I must say. FFXIV is like iPhone but with only Apple Inc. apps available in the App Store, and that the UI is more like Windows 3.1...

What does count as a necro bump anyway? It is within the same month of the last poster.

I wouldn't count it too bad of a necro myself, no point in making a new one when its just showing setups as opposed to discussed topics. :3

Made myself a new overlay. Actually pretty neat (In my opinion). Usually changing the portrait on the right every few days. The arrows in the centered hotbar can disable all the stuff you can see in the second picture. Also made a video about it, you can watch it here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0_B...ature=youtu.be


Open in new tab for full size:

I have a small screen, I don't like it too cluttered.

Party window is either upper left when I play dps or slightly to the left of the middle of the screen when I play healer.

I have a g600 mouse, so I have my hotbars set to match the layout on the mouse:

Normal look / no party

And in a party, with party & focus target:

I have poor vision, and play with a monitor shoved right in my face. I used have a UI that was spread around the corners of the screen, but that didn't work well after I got a monitor arm. So here's what I use now. Compact and simple to use. I can even read chat sometimes.

Normally it looks like this.

When I press a trigger to use a skill it looks like this

Battle Mode looks like this

When I'm gathering, I have a macro button to show the mini map.
