Separate own Buff / Debuff Status HUD elements

Just a suggestion for something I would be interested in seeing. A present, the status effect bar for your own character is a single long bar, filled from the left with buffs and from the right with debuffs.

I'd like the option to have 2 separate elements both filled from either the left or right. This would enable maximum control in an already very flexible UI.

Alternatively, a single UI element with more configuration options could achieve this aim.

For example:

Option A: Single row, filled from each end (default)
Option B: Two rows (buff and debuff) filled from left
Option C: Two rows (buff and debuff) filled from right

Bumping: has there been any progress on this?
(sorry for necropost but searches haven't yielded any info)

I don't think there has been progress, but this is one of the few things about the current HUD that annoys me, and I've been wanting pretty much what Shaone suggests for a while (was considering making a thread on it, too).

same. what's more, it's hard to gauge where your debuffs will land inside the HUD because, well, you need a debuff at the time of redoing it..
I know exactly where my buffs will be.. the same cannot be said for debuffs when messing with HUD. I suppose, I could go out, die, and hope for a raise.

I really support this.. Would be nice if you could set it to a grid (you choose how many icons across it is). As a paladin I like to be able to see my buffs and my hot bar at the same time to perfectly cycle cool downs in high intensity situations like solo tank turn five during snakes.

Supporting this as well. I've wanted it since starting the game.
