Any chance of an option for horizontal party frame?

As a healer I've had nothing but massive amounts of frustration over trying to find a nice spot for the party frame so that it's neither in the way of my view so I can see attacks, but at the same time easy to see so I can heal those that need it. I think what could solve this issue for healers could be to have an option to make the party bar horizontal instead of vertical. This would allow healers to place the bar in better locations much akin to their own heal/mp/tp bars and the enemy health bar. The idea is that when horizontal it would be 4 columns of 2 health bars, for example:

Player 1 Player 3 Player 5 Player 7
Player 2 Player 4 Player 6 Player 8

This would allow better organization of jobs (one column healers, one tank, other 2 all dps) and allow better more choices in placement and easier healing for some over the vertical option. :)

Yes. Yes, please. As a healer myself, I usually like to place party frames down and center on my screen, so that the hp bars are always in my field of view and very close to my mouse for mouseover macros. That's pretty much impossible with the current party frames, unless I want to block out my own character. I've found a position that sort of works, but it's not ideal.

[edit] Whenever we get addon support (if that ever comes *sigh*), someone better work on a Grid for FFXIV. x.x

Ideally, I think each party member should have its own UI box. Then healers could spend 10 seconds at the beggining of each instance moving the tank's frame to a better, more reacheable position without needing to Focus Target him (which is something you often have to use on some bosses to see their charge meters)

I would like the ability to convert an 8-man Party frame into an Alliance frame.
That would save me so much space, especially if I play as a DPS/Tank in a 24-man.

Yes please.
The party menu is taking up so much needed space XD.
