    More customization options for the Party Frame

    I think it would be great if we could have a bit more freedom on how to setup our party frame. Sometimes I feel that there are things that clutter it a bit, or maybe could have less of a visual impact and still be visible, allowing more flexible layouts.

    For example, options of different features like:

    1) Optional header. I don't think at this rate I need to know the difference between "Solo", "Light Party" and "Full Party".

    2) Smaller MP bar. I think it could be half of the length and still maintain its functionality. Also option to stack said smaller MP bar under a bigger HP bar.

    3) Small bar/dots/triangles/etc component to indicate job resources like aetherflow stacks, ninki gauge, fourfold feathers and Esprit, etc. This is especially useful for jobs like AST with their cards, that would benefit in knowing when someone is about to dump their resources.

    4) Option to hide the job icons, or at least to have them as minimalistic as possible.

    5) Option to hide the party number [1], [2], etc that is right before the level. That number just indicates the order, and I feel that it just takes up unecessary space.

    6) With some of the above elements optional, it would create the opportunity to resize the buff/debuff icons.

    Personally I'd like it if it filled up instead filled down. So a 4 man party could still be in the bottom corner and the box would expand up when other people join rather than having a 3 or 4 man party half way up the screen.

    The numbers are quite usefull for macros and stuff for example my tanks shirk is via macro /ac shirk <2> because that's always where the other tank in the party is.

    I think the same for things like the duty list would be good or even make them flippable. My duty list typically sits on the left edge of my screen which can sometimes be an issue as the finger icon when you cycle active frames is off the left edge of the screen.

    Oh, the numbers would def. still work for said macros. It would only be toggled invisible... Pretty much like you can still use your keybinds even if the hotbar they're in is invisible.
