Heheh, I'm not that afraid of geek talk, more of programming chat :-p (Still have nightmares from my own programming efforts, and that was somewhere in 1988).
I don't push that hard do I ? Only a small gnome ya knwo..

Take, for example, the target which has three aura displays... which one is the debuff toggle supposed to work for? There's two different debuff displays in the target HUD.

Why did I suddenly feel sorry for those that want to create a layout ? Do they have to worry about all that as well ?
Would the one making the layout be able to offer their own config gui/commands ?

Heheh, well maybe not make it for others, just for your own nUI layout. I personally would like all your plug in for nUI be rolled into the main package and have the option ingame to turn them on/off. Think you allready said somewhere that wasn't feasible. And if other layouts can have their own configs then they could peak at your code and see how you did it :-p
Anyway, looking forward to see what tools you are going to introduce for normal users (
) to make a layout.. But to be honest, the current layout is working great for me.
