It seems my edit and further explanations exist in some other dimension.

All my suggestions basically keep the Ui as it is - as it is designed by devs.
Thats the point. Because thats the most anyone can expect now - theoretically and realistically. Anything else is your misunderstanding.

and fantasies about completely changing Ui by throwing additional stuff all around the screen and then calling that a "better solution" - while all that work would be presumably done by Ui gnomes.
DA:O of all things... 1-0,then shift-0 to 10...and ctrl... what the...?
And that would be... ideal?


Not to mention that you come in, completely disregard what i wrote about it myself - just so you can grab onto some sort of counter "argument" - which completely misses the point and has nothing to do with what i wrote.

Which is just a general "thinking out loud" suggestion. An idea.
Not a demand or declaration of One and Holy truth.

- anyway,

it seems to me that the small portrait on the left side of the hotbar doesnt have any use, except showing you whose hotbar you are looking at. Which is pretty much clear by itself anyway.

Maybe some utility can be added to it?
right-click to open inventory?

something?

Maybe remove that and enlarge some of those utility icons or arrows/keys for listing the hotbar slots? So we dont have to pixel hunt them everytime?
