Is it possible to hide the original game data for anything this addon is displaying? (mainly the enemy bar above the party in the lower right)
To my knowledge there is no way to remove or hide that using built-in game measures, short of placing something else over top of it.

Is it possible to have the SP flash separate of the NM name instead of replacing it or have it pop on a different bar that you could place like in the middle?
Certainly possible, but it was a specific design choice I made to keep it as compact as I could where it made sense. Replacing the normal actions for the duration of the SP didn't make sense, and since the Target, Sub-Target, and Focus Target bars will all display their respective SPs adding 3 more bars was too much visual clutter in the same area, so the best solution I found was to add a highlight/stroke effect and rotate between the target name and the SP name, along with the countdown timer, that way it's right where you're used to looking already. There is a lot of different and varying information to display in the addon and I didn't want the visual space that is taken up to become too large or bloated.

Either way, I do appreciate the feedback. I'm always open to taking suggestions, even if I may not implement every one.

Hey again Keylestra, just had a quick couple questions:

Am I missing some asset for the checkmark / arrow to show when skills successfully fire off? I'm just getting blank squares as seen below.


Second question, what exactly is Sub Target for? Does it show your pet's target, or your target's target? I can't seem to get it to work properly either way. Thanks in advance.

That means the font you are using does not have that character as a part of it, so it gets replaced with the box instead, you'd either need to edit the addon's code to change the character to one the font does have, or switch to another font

Oh that makes sense. I am using a font I downloaded that's different. Thanks!

Sub Target is the literal sub-target (a secondary target in addition to your primary cursor target) from the game. So, for example, if you have a monster targeted (which will show as your normal Target), then you use a Cure macro with a target select (note that stpt and stal do not work for this example because they put the targeting cursor directly into the party/alliance list and do not trigger the game supplying a sub-target) it will show you what your sub-target is for that spell.
