Version 2.2 is on its way.

For this, I fixed a huge bug I was unaware of until last night concerning the settings menu.

Also fixed was subzone detection/display. Subzone names will only display when you are in one (no more Stonefalls (Stonefalls)). Subzone name is also no longer simply the map name, it is actually a subzone name!

The last, and longest, issue that this version corrects is a permanent solution to the issue of moving the bar around. Taking a cue from Wykkyd's Quest Tools (thanks Wykkyd!) I've introduced a shaded bar above the main information bar. This takes care of the issue of the information preventing dragging the area behind. I've kept it rather small for now. If users would like to see it larger I can certainly adjust it later.

Now that I can focus on improvements rather than bugs, I'm going to hop onto bumping the compass when the bar overlays it. That should be followed by me looking into allowing experience to be displayed as a bar.

Yeah, so subzones are an oddball. The way I've been doing it takes the name of the map that you are currently in. When the map area you are on changes (and with it what view of the map you normally see) then this info changes. Problem is that this doesn't fire an event of its own (nor is it really what I wanted this to be showing).

The solution is simple, but I wonder about its effectiveness. Will also require a small modification because when you leave a subzone and are generally in a zone, then the event doesn't return a value. So, I'll need to do something to handle that. That will become one of the top priorities since it doesn't work right, but may also require me reworking background expansion earlier than I planned.

1) If I decide to add research timers, it will be a ways off. Not saying it isn't doable, but I definitely need to get the big issues taken care of first.

2) Not sure how I could really use clickable menus for this. At best, I can see it bring up the window to change module selection, but beyond that there may not be any use.

3) Not sure what you are getting at. Do you mean some option to have it automatically expand to go all the way across the screen? That's a little difficult (for me that is). But I do like your idea of anchoring the bar in the center for that expansion idea.

I will look into this, but I think there isn't going to be a way for me to correct this, at least not easily. I do not believe that a change in sub-zones always fires an event normally.

Slight delay on this release. One bug I discovered with more testing that makes some thing not functional.

Okay, here is my plan.

I'm going to release version 2.1 tomorrow evening. This is the first release of this add-on with the code being cleaner. I've tried to test every change I made, but something may have slipped my grasp. So I'd like to hear about any new issues that have cropped up.

As that is happening, I'm going to start working on the two main concerns that have been addressed. Namely, a better fix for the movement issue (say goodbye to the blank area on the left of the bar), and automatic compass bar adjustments.

That should all be done before the end of the week!

Sorry for the late reply. Your image shows exactly what l3xor was asking me to fix. I'm almost done with this code cleanup and I have been looking at how to move that compass bar out of the way. I would hope to have it all done before the end of the week. Would be sooner if work wasn't in the way.

I am going to add the feature that moves the compass bar like Wykkyd's after I tidy things up.

As for an experience bar.....I guess I can do that. Maybe make it an option for the XP module so those who like a bar can use one and those who prefer numbers can use that.

There are some things from Wykkyd's bar that I will not add. I honestly believe people don't really need to have a bar tell them what class/race they are or their name. Always seemed silly to me.

For now it is only temporary. While tweaking it, I discovered that the shell window that everything is in has some sort of 'reserved' spot in the upper left corner. Made it that much harder to handle movement. Once I have the code cleaned up I will attack the movement issue head on.

If I set it so the background area is a little larger vertically, would that of more benefit?
