What about causing it to rotate?Jackard wrote:blinking things are distracting and attention-grabbing. not a good ideaJustasJ wrote:I like Jackards Idea, but I wouldn't mind if they blinked a bit along with the color change.
Or perhaps making the messages from the server scroll across the bottom of the screen while flashing?
OH and the entire UI should have an embossed repeating background of some form, possibly a photo of loftar

I like sepia. What you see is pretty cool.
How can I get colour blind?

Re: One quick color suggestion....
That would be nice and be more clear for colour blind people and newbies too. It is alot more intuitiveJackard wrote:just have a single bar split into four or five 'bubbles' with the meter changing colors as each one is filled

Re: One quick color suggestion....
note the reason that my example only has four bubbles is that there is no mechanical difference between Hungry and Full
each block is 5%
so orange is starving 1-20
yellow is (very) hungry 21-50
green is full 51-100
blue is stuffed 101-120
just a suggestion ofc but it seems a lot better than starving taking up half the bar
