Inconsistent debuff size for Thunder...?

I noticed while playing low level BLM recently that the Thunder icon when you cast it on enemies as a debuff is a bit off in terms of size and centering.. has this always been a thing? I don't recall it being that way before, but it is fine for 4 but not 1/2/3.

You might need to show us a picture so we can get a feel for what you mean. It might just be that your eyes are playing a trick on you. The Thunder icon is yellow, but the icons for 2/3/4 are shades of blue and purple, and take up more visual space, as opposed to one solitary bolt. This might be why the icon appears smaller as a DoT.

The size of all older Thunders are a pixel or two larger than other debuffs on the enemy, visible on the top end. As a designer I picked up on this kinda really quickly in anything synced + seeing the 3 icon a lot so it was really weird to see it across all the old Thunders but nothing else! Mainly 1-3!

4 is fine but that was made later so it is level with other debuffs! It is very hard to unsee once you see it, I feel...

See how Thunder 3 is like... slightly larger than the rest compared to 4? It's maybe 1-2 pixels?

It looks to me like in your second image, it's the same size, but the whole thing is shifted up one pixel:

It's been a thing I've seen for years now and I wondered why it was never fixed ;(

Jesus, I hate to necro a thread but that's the most bizarre thing, not even like this thread is that old, wonder if it was added in a recent update? Maybe like the one time a named part Mor Dhona was un-capitalized for a bit with a patch.

It's always been this way, since ARR. I never made a post about it though cause .. I thought they'd have fixed it by now! I remember noticing it ages ago when I was synced for stuff and I thought it was just me but I kept seeing it even now... AGHHH!!

Huh, that is very bizarre.

Hoping it gets addressed one day..
