I made the above changes and its much better. Some other things I did that also helped my experience. I went into the Aura lua file and changed the location of the buffs so they are right beneath the left HUD display, instead of on top of the action bars. I also went into the(I think) Units folder, buff lua file to get rid of the green tinge on the buffs. I think I'm going to like this.
One question. Is there an easy way to toggle on/off the 'target of target' bar in the HUD? When I'm soloing, I don't need a second bar showing my health, and that area is where I'm looking to get all my information(I'm using health/power HUD). That area gets a little "busy" with the target of target on. I actually read through the faq, user guide, and slash commands and couldn't see anything.
Thanks again for the help.
