6 - Suggestions for timer
Synopsis: Eliminate hundreds, eliminate leading zero, but continue to allow for minutes/seconds.
I have several suggestions:
- Eliminate the hundredths of a second option. It's way too fast for humans to read and provides no real use.
- Continue to allow for minute/seconds. Being able to see a timer for 2 minutes 3 seconds is far more useful in this mod than Blizzard's practice of rounding up to 3 minutes.
- Eliminate the leading 0 on the timer. Currently 9 seconds reads as 09 seconds. Similarly, 2 minutes reads as 02 minutes. The leading 0 provides no real use and actually makes the mod (very slightly) less usable, as 09 is slightly harder for humans to read than 09. It's fine to right-justify the numbers, as users can compensate when designing their layouts if they're going to have a column of icons numbers (say, cooldowns).

I use a lot of icons rather than textures, and while removing the glow effect helps icons appear more normal, the black background behind them just clutters up my interface.
