New Feature: Highlight Overcaps

Added 2021-05-06 14:16:54 +0000 UTC

Here's a nifty new improvement to the Stat Monitor, suggested by one of our friends on Discord. Overcapping a stat, like Fervor for example, is an important combat mechanic so it makes sense that the Stat Monitor should give you some feedback on that. A new indicator lets you know when a stat is overcapped by changing to the default blue overcap color and also adding a color bar to the stat's tile.

The overcap indicator is in addition to any boolean setpoint warnings you have set up for the stat, so both can be active at the same time. The superimposed color bar was added to make sure the overcap state is detectable at a glance regardless of your tile and warning color/flashing choices.

The new feature is active by default, although of course you can turn it off in the window manager. I think you'll like it just the way it is, but you can further customize the display if you're interested. Near the top of the StatMon file (eq2ui_custom_statmon.xml) are two internal settings that control which overcap elements are displayed. If you don't want the color bar, change that value to false. If you want only the color bar, set OvercapText to false.

If you don't want either one, just uncheck the box in the window manager. This feature is members-only for now, although I promised that it would be added to the free version at some point in the future. As with any feature of DarqUI, I welcome any recommendations and other feedback from our valued members. Meaning you!
