I suck at reading the center of the screen

Erm.....you know it is shown in the chat box right? Lol. It is easier to read there.

It'd be easier if the chatbox had adjustable background transparency. I can't read crap in the chatbox as it is.

And yea, OP, the lettering for alerts flashing across the screen gets very easily lost in the clutter of background effects. It needs to be brought out more somehow. My eyes have a lot of trouble focusing on lettering when there's a lot of stuff going on behind it. It's not so much a personal focus thing as it is a physical inability thing.

What I did for the chimera in CC was just watch for the cast bar, as it's more easily visible than the words across the screen. And I always have the boss targeted anyway, because mouseover macros don't change my target, so it's easier to just keep an eye on that rather than looking for impossible to discern lettering.
