I had not noticed the chat windows. Looking at that now. I think I may have picked the wrong window type for them... Hmmm. Anyway ill post a patch.

As to target bar.... well it was designed with WC3 in mind and as you know if youve played it, all health statistcis are shown with green lines very similar to what I have.

As to the compass well you can add any compass you want very easily, as well as spell books and maps etc. This UI isnt very restrictive unless you try to change the windows that have the graphics at the bottom...

You could add a compass by installing the mod for it and move the target window which is the targetbar and the leaves directly below by unlocking them. Then move your compass away for a minute... then move the target bar back and line it up straight then move your compass into the little transparent space i provided for it which is exactly the size of a compass 98, 24 pixels. Then get the comass set and lock it then click on the leaves of target bar again and lock it.

Hope this help

My only complaint, and i've had this with all versions--The target bar, while easily visible is...well, kind of ugly. It should at least be more of a red colour, because after years of our health bars being red it's just a natural association. I suppose we could easily replace it, but I haven't tried it yet.

Also, the top of the main and secondary chat windows (the center and left ones) seems to be cut off up top, which doesn't look as nice as it could, and the compass just looks kind of out of place, with lots of wasted space beside it--you should try placing the window selector icons in that space above the main chat, and moving the compass elsewhere, perhaps in the corner space where the "shelf" of leaves goes down on the left. I personally think that the compass here is kind of ugly compared to the rest of the ui, and there are plenty of other "location indicator" compasses that would look nicer...including one I modified from one of remelio's, which you can see a screenshot of here (i originally modified it to be the same width as the target, group and action windows) which works just as well.

But these are just suggestions, I really like what you've done. Great work, thank you, I look forward to their release!
