Your customized UI

My UI looks like this atm.
;; thanks to some pointers in the topic I was able to hide the unused actionbar buttons... was always struggling with that :/


Normal vision:




HUD Layout:





Display Resolution:
24" @1920x1200 pixels.

my UI as of late - don't think I'll be changing around too many things now that I've settled in at 50.

my UI is set up for gamepad+keyboard simple and effective for how i play with battle as a separate chat box.

it will be nice to be able to save the UI interface as a template and apply to other character in other region.

or just another char. on the same server; orrr... IS that shared?
(haven't tested it yet)

Afaik only the "System Configuration" settings are shared and each character uses their own individual copy of all the other settings.

However since those settings are all stored on your computer and not the server, it should be possible to simply copy the files from one character folder to another in order to import things like keybinds, HUD, etc. I haven't had any reason to test this yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, since backing up and restoring those files seems to work just fine.

You can find the files under Documents -> My Games -> Final Fantasy XIV - ARR. Each character has their own folder with an indecipherable character code, but you can just look at the creation time/date of the folder to figure out who is who.


edit: Btw has anyone else had problems with the Focus Target window not staying put between relogs? Mine keeps moving to the left after I relog and I can't find a way to stop this. It's beginning to piss me off...

edit again: After some experimentation I've discovered that the Focus Target window only moves horizontally and it keeps aiming for certain "snap-to" spots that are roughly 3 squares apart from each other. If the window is perfectly aligned with one of these snap-to spots it seems to stay put indefinitely, but if I move it even a millimeter to the left, then it will reposition itself to the next snap-spot to the left of where I save it.

When I showed the problem to my fiancee (who is a software programmer) he told me it could be a rounding error and instead of saving the exact X coordinate of the Focus Target window it's only saving a rounded down coordinate, thus causing the window to move each time the X coordinate you left it at doesn't match the rounded-down coord.

hmm... copying you say?
Might be worth a shot =)

This is what im rolling with as my UI as a Monk. I spent a lot of time on it. Pic was obv taken during a... failed Titan run... :/ Damn that fat bastard!

Finally got around to screenshotting my UI.



I might have to make adjustments when it gets to 24 man stuff... I really wish I could resize and just generally modify the party unit frames. They are my biggest frustration when trying to customize my UI. Ideally I would have the unit frames at the bottom center of my screen, just above my own health bar and such, but the way they are designed makes that pretty much impossible.

Also, am I the only one annoyed at how the durations of my buffs look very cramped and kind of on top of one another?? D: I don't know why they do that, and I wish I could fix it!
