Ok, perhaps I wasn't clear lol. I don't want the UI to cover that much ground... in fact, just the opposite. I don't want it stretched accross the whole bottom. Each monitor is running 1280x1024. I would want the mazzleUI to just stay in the middle in the 1 monitor at the 1280x1024 rest (1.25 aspect).
Like imagine if I had just 1 monitor and ran the game at 1280x1024, and ran the mazzleUI. That is what I would love to display (ignoring the fact I have 2 perifial monitors). But currently as the screenshot shows, some stays in the middle, some goes way left, and some goes way right... and as you said, you have to turn your head to actually use it (which is what I'm attempting to avoid).
Currently, for example, the minimap, buttons, and target popup are in the middle, but the targets health bars are over on the left screen (above the artwork that is normally inteneded to be below the mini-map). As well pretty much the rest you can see.
I have no idea how to do .lua stuff, but that hasn't stopped me in the past from tinkering, and copy/pasting, etc. so perhaps if this is something that isn't you don't want to do, I could take a stab at it fiddling.
Though an option to keep everything based off center regardless of resolution or aspect might me a nice feature, for say people running a widescreen monitor may not want the whole bottom taken by the ui edge to edge, and may want it smaller (similar to the default UI, if you turn the UI scale all the way down, you have the UI in the center of your screen w/ the griffens, but there is still a few inches of just "empty space" to either side of them (game area). So perhaps there are others that may not want a "wall to wall" ui accross the bottom, so would like to run a 1.25 aspect version, even though their monitor aspect may be 1.6, whouch would make some space on the sides to put perhaps other addons displays that are not included with this ui, but want to keep all the "info or button stuff" at the bottom... (ok so yea I'm trying to entice you to look into doing this, I'm not going to lie heheh.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is it seems the "achor point" for some stuff is based off the left edge, some from the center point, and some from the right edge. So for me, my left edge is way far away then I want. So bear with me having know .lua progaming knoledge, in my personal situation, I would like the left side of the artwork be placed at either -640 pixles from center (basing it off center anchor) or +1280 pixles from left (basing it off my huge left side). And likewise the right edge to to be be based +640 from center, or -1280 from the right edge (or even +2560 pixles from the left edge... not sure how the achors are based, but I think you get my point) while currently it behaves as being placed at +0 pixles from left / right (and miles from the center in my setup). If I was able to adjust the offset of both the left and right anchored stuff, it would bring it all back to the center screen, and I'd be a happy panda (vs having it stretched accross all 3 screens).
If it is something as easy as maybe punching in a few values into a .lua to move the achors as I described above, then maybe you could give me a quick headup of which file to edit, what to look for, or what values to change, so the 1.25 aspect option would arange everything "proper" for me then as you said since it is so "rare" I can just maintain a version customized for myself.
I apreciate any help you can provide, becasue this is one the most ultimate UI's I've ever encountered, not only for the collection of mods, but the self install based on questions, the ease of configurablity, and the clean/sleak look of it is just so amazing. As well I love how it is multi-alt toon friendly so each alt's ui looks uniform and nice and clean. However as you see in my screenshot, is now rendered unsusable untill I can get the parts all rejoined back in the middle again.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!
