    Hide Hotbar After X Seconds Option

    The game can be very pretty and I at times feel the UI can be a bit much making the screen feel cluttered, however I like being able to have different less common things assigned to hotbars for quick usage.

    So, pondering how to provide a "cleaner" UI while still providing the benefit of using lots of hotbars and not completely revamping the UI, I came up with the following idea ...

    Adding in the functionality to be able to check a check box per hotbar that will automatically hide that hotbar after X amount of seconds which will be determined by a slidebar (essentially working like the auto put away Weapon after X seconds feature).

    The hotbar will automatically become visible again if an ability on it is used, if you mouse over its location or if on controller holding down a trigger/bumper/etc button that links to a hotbar. It will then be hidden again after the set time if not used again.

    Since this would only affect the visual aspects of the UI for the one player, all computations for it would be done clientside, thus minimizing any potential performance issues.

    Basically this system would allow for the player to reduce UI screen clutter by dynamically "cleaning up" hotbars while in not in use while keeping the convenience of having lots of hotbars with abilities easily available and at your fingertips.

    What are people's thoughts on this? Is this a feature you would want?
