Hi,

I just wanted to suggest to implement that transparency and click-through feature, that's used for the MiniParse Window, for the TimerWindow as well.

On our raids I usually play in windowed mode, but maximized and put the MiniParse chart ontop of the eq2 window.
There is still enough space left on my screen to display the TimerWindow, but it would be cool to have it click-through at 30% opacity as well.

In addition to that it would be great if the MiniParse could remeber what kind of data it displayed the last time it ran.
The current version of the ACT starts the MiniParse with the default textual list, so to have it the way I want to see it i have to un-clickthrough it, switch to the chart display mode and have it click trough again afterwards.

As it fits the topic I stick to this post:

Would it be hard to implement a vertical (top-down) graph for the mini-window data?
It's been mentioned that the space to display extra information is quite limited in a game window,
so I just thought about the arrangement of my own eq2 window.
There is enough space left on the right side to display a transparent mini-window,
but a tall and narrow display results in unreadable charnames on very thin lines.
So a top-down graph with either left or right align of the databoxes would be great.

By the way ... is there any chance to customize the colors of the mini-graph?
There should be 5 colors in there:
- the graph's background
- the font's color
- the colors for even and odd data-bars
- the color for my own data-bar

To have a semi-transparent mini graph window with a black background and greenish tinted bars ontop ot the eq2 window would surely look cool Cool

The mini-bar graph uses the same drawing method as the main tab one, which is probably obvious. Anyhow, the graph actually tries to follow your Windows color scheme except for the bar colors. Except in cases where it is exporting to file or the background brightness is extremely dark.

The short answer to everything is that it is possible. It is possible because the graphing is 100% custom code, so I can make it look like anything I want it to. I just have to go in and do it.
