It's in Options, General tab, at the bottom of the Chat options. It says "Indiviual Name Colors". Been there since I12.

Mine is very similar to Neko's, except I place a smaller map-screen between my chat window and my power trays.

I think it works, and plenty of viewing area where it counts too. >_>

i do have to say that (only as a tip, no nitpicking here) it's best to have the health and endurance close to your character, that way you can keep track on what is happening. (might be the reason why i'm one of the only ones that doesn't die as often as the rest of the team >_> ^_^ <_&lt

I have target top left, health top right, chat bottom left and powers/insps bottom right, and the navaigator top middle - the map is tied to the M key so I can bring it up only when I need it - I want to see as much as possible without too many windows blocking the view

My combat attributes varies from character to character but I use the same UI on all toons.

I'm with GG. I don't like a lot of stuff on the screen blocking my view unless its the map, when I bring it up.

Getting a widescreen monitor was one of the best upgrades I could make to this game - I've got lots of space to play around with on screen - I use this layour for everyone, mostly recolouring it dependent on character (and I've just realised, I've forgotten for that one on screen!)

So, I've checked the slash command list but cant figure out how to get the info windows with your hit points, inf etc to display as some have in their screens here... how do you do that?

Powers - Combat Attributes, right click on attribute and add to display (or something like that).

This is my normal view if I have a 4th box it sits as a 4x3 next to the inspirations like this. This character is the one with the most combat attributes showing and since I've had a set change around on him I could remove one of the defences at the top (cause my smashing defence used to be higher than all my others I wanted to show it separately and fire was the lowest. Now EN is the highest and Smashing and Fire are the lowest)
