Offensive and Defensive targets.

Elaborate?

I posted this widget idea a few months ago (date is in May because I deleted the old thread to repost it in the proper category)

This just popped into my head, but the ability to save up to 3 (or more, this just sounded like a reasonable number) widget configurations. Along with this, the option to turn widgets off and only have them appear when the menu is opened. Also, Menu display configurations.

lots more great ideas in here! I hope the devs take widget ideas somewhat seriously one day. something I'd like that I haven't seen bought up yet;

Media Widget!

simple camera icon floating around. hitting it will turn off the UI and then the icon (only thing remaining) splits into two, camera and video camera. can take a screenshot or start video capturing at the touch of a button.

I know we can take SS now, but it is not very intuitive and I forget the hotkeys all the time lol and video capture would be great for fan made videos. C'mon SE! you have a beautiful world created, lets us market it for you, just give us the tools

I would welcome any of these ideas we can fit on our screens. I think the less emphasis that is put on the "main menu", the better! 80% of the functions I need on a daily basi, should be staring me right in the face, and using the main menu is just a last resort

I definitely like the idea of being able to capture video without the use of 3rd party software. Letting us to easily make videos and post them on YouTube would get the word out there for "free" which is a word I'm sure any big company likes.

Mob Ability Alert
==============================
A widget that can be placed around the screen that will alert the player when the targeted monster is preparing to use an ability.

This can be used to allow players to escape the affected area or take other steps to avoid or prepare for the attack's effect.

How about a Widget that displays the name of the move a Targetted Mob is Readying?

I'm always missing it in the chatlog and you can't give it a specific color either.

I definitely like that idea. In FFXI as a DRK I was expected to keep stun ready during certain party fights or endgame fights. Having something like that would've greatly helped, and I'm sure it would help here later on as well.
