Will there be a way to toggle scroll-lock on/off?

Making videos is hard if you have to cellotape down your scoll-lock key just to keep the UI out of your face (my scrlk key always pops back up after about a minute).

Controller ftw XD I used Xpadder to map scroll lock, then i just hold left bumper, can move with left stick and rotate cam with mouse!!!!!

The yellow could be used as the slightly less than optimal color, heading down towards the grey zone. Still indicating caution, warning - danger ahead.

I fully support the use of pink.

Because I like pink (b'.')b

The only thing I don't like is that the gear colors don't apply to the stat boosts as well. They should have used that to help indicate stat differences as well.

I don't have a controller though. I tried forcing ScrLk down using the software keyboard thing, but it doesn't apply to FFXIV for some reason.

They could possibly do that with the background colour of the items icon.

Support Green for optimal

I like green because you think of it as getting a green light. Everything's good to GO!

I agree with this connotation, but quite frankly, I'm not too fussed.

I would vote green as optimal for a natural and cooler color. Yellow is a heat color and implies building up out of the natural direction.

That color is so obnoxiously bright it hurts my eyes to look at it for more than a brief second.

That way I would see the optimal rank of the gear I want in white and others will be happy to make it green. It probably wouldn't be such a hard thing to make happen I would assume either. Considering Matsui is a genius when it comes to UI programming.

Referring back to my older post for current readers. I recommend this over anything else because there are so many different opinions out there.
