Focus target - Cast bar problem

[notsureifserious]

Found this thread and will copy and paste the same exact problem that I have, and I am sure many others do

"Hello,

Anyone know a fix for the cast bar for focus target. Its really really bad, hard to see whats being cast. Especially on some bosses because the yellow cast bar is covering up the yellow text (see screenshot example).




Is it possible to change the color of text or seperate the name of the mob and the "FOCUS TARGET" text from the cast bar? Anything to make it more readable.


Also in other thread


I know I can move the whole focus target object. But what I mean is if you look at the image. You can see that the cast bar is partially covered by the name of the monster (Anantaboga) and also tightly squeezed between the Focus Target and mob name. The spell being cast (Imminent Catastrophe) is also in yellow text, which happens to be the same color (except an outline around the letters) as the castbar. All this makes it very hard to see what your focus target is casting. So if you need to interrupt a specific spell the focus target sucks.

What I would want to do is either:

A) Change the color of the text so its more easy to read. In that example you can imagine "Imminent Catastrophe" in a color that is not yellow and stands out from the cast bar color instead of blending with it.

B) Seperate the words "Focus Target", Spell name (In this case "Imminent Catastrophe") and Mob name (in this Case Anantaboga) so that they are not so close together and overlap eachother.

This really needs to be fixed. Focus Target is mostly pointless right now because of this.

You can't piece apart one UI element though, so this is irrelevant.

At least you can focus. It's not available on PS3.

On PC with controller you have to macro it. If you can use macros on PS3 you can do the same thing. The command is /focustarget <t>.
