This is a suggestion I'd like to see implemented. It should be relatively simple to implement as well, the Idea comes from Secondlife to some extent, but its not been in any other MMO's that I am aware of.


Basically when you go to the settings menu, there would be a button called "UI Edit Mode" It would only be usable in a safe area (Towns) So you can't accidentally engage it while in combat or at times when being unable to control the game would become dangerous.

Once in the mode, the Main Menu Disappears and ALL UI Widgets and Items become highlighted around their graphical edges. These edges let you determine where a UI Element Begins and ends.

It also creates empty "Highlight Only Boxes" where things like "Input Menus" and other items would normally pop up should you engage in talking with an NPC, NPC Chat Boxes, and even the Popup Texts for skills.

Once you get all the boxes into position where you are comfortable you then can snapshot your UI to save it to your user folder and then open the same UI settings on another character afterwards.


I'd also like to see the ability to change UI Colors, and Individual Fonts for elements. I'd love to have the Eorzean Font made by one of the guys at Eorzeapedia for things like HP, MP, TP, XP, SP, etc in the UI elements but then use the default font for the Chat Log and the NPC Chat Log.
