Channel and Combat log windowsFollow

What I do is increase the resolution when it comes to text, thus making the text smaller. This allows me to actually summon my bags without getting in the way of my combat log. Give it a try, it's in the system/interface options. :)

Create an extra tab for the general channel only. Might want to toss the trade channel on that also. I used to leave general, but with it on another tab so that I don't have to read it unless I feel like it, it's kinda nice.

How do you turn up the opacity? I looked in all the options I could find and didn't find it. Thanks.

Overall, I like it. Separating the combat window and normal chat window is a must. The degree to which you can tweak the filters is awesome, but I think some of the options are counter-intuitive at first. For example, to turn on (and color-change) any grp member healing me, I had to turn on "hostile buffs". Why a grp member is flagged as hostile I'll never know, but once I found it I was happy. Sometimes I change too many colors so that when I see a color in the window it doesn't automatically trigger what kind of info I'm seeing.

Wouldn't mind being able to move some of the other windows around (like my hp/mana pic thing, and the minimap) but those are minor things. Good idea about adjusting opacity

I haven't paid it any attention either. All the buffs/ailments that affect me are represented by icons in the upper right corners. The numbers that popup above the mobs head tells me the rest.
