    Question regarding BigWigs (Emphasized bars)

    Is there a way to make "Empasized" bars show the ability with longest duration left on the bottom?

    Opposite of what's shown on this picture: http://i.imgur.com/TRYs2FV.jpg (I would like ambush on the bottom and blind on the top).

    I have to say I am slightly puzzled by why you want this feature. Currently we sort so that the shortest bar is always closest to the anchor, that guarantees that the most important bars (the ones about to expire) will always be in a static position to better keep track of it.

    What you are proposing instead is to prioritize keeping the longest bar static, which would mean the most important bars (again, the ones about to expire) will be jumping up and down according to how many bars are being created/destroyed on the anchor.

    I'm not against adding such a feature, I'm all for improving the experience of BW users. I'm just wondering why you (or anyone that wants to chip in) think this feature would be useful?

    Shameless thread hijack;

    Is there an issue with text aligning currently? I've set it to Center but it seems to be aligning to the left half of the time :S

    I think he wants the shortest aka next ability to come, to be more towards the center of the screen as he doesnt wnt to divert his atention t the bottom of the screen. Althou such behaviour borderliness tunnel vision promotion.

    You could reverse the way the bars spread from the anchor (instead of up, have them go down), but then you can't guarantee it'd be all nice and lined up.

    Not really, just think it would look better, hardly any difference.

    Probably using a custom bar skin that's forcing a specific alignment?

    Likely yes, but it's working half the time, that's the weird thing. I'll contact the skinauthor and ask them to look into it.
