When the new UI gives people headaches, you should think of fixing it, really.

Temporary fix.
Create a new chat window "default 1".
uncheck all incoming text.
Put it behind the party bars to darken the backround.
Move the party bar about a centimeter off an edge of the chat window so that if u click on the chat window you can still click on the party bar hanging outside the chat box to put it back on top.
I like the add on skins. They are darker. Blackbird or Rival11 are really dark, but I am getting by with DDOlite skin.
really dont know what people are complaining about, i went into UI settings, adjusted the bars on my healer/did this that/rearranged my 6 or 7 bars and voila. maybe its just me, but i dont find the new UI that bad, just takes up a little to much space for me. i do have top notch PC/flat screen monitor, so it might have to do with that. ill take a pic of my screen set-up soon if anyone wants me to.
EDIT: been playing a fvs healer for 2 years now, basically same set up, so yea, it will take a little bit of getting used to. alrdy pressed think its...nightshield instead of mass heal once or twice now.

Q: how do you get me to appear in a thread? A: ask a bard question! XD
I logged on to my Bard, and didn't even know I had taken damage while running around. While I haven't raided on my FvS yet... I think I'll pass. Stuff the mats in the bank and retire her. The Wing rape was bad enough, no longer being able to effectively tell who needs healing without staring at the bars and getting a headache is ridiculous. Not being able to do ANYTHING but get a headache trying to figure out *** the party bars are telling me instead of having FUN in a GAME means Turbine can stuff it.
I feel really sorry for my guildy whose been learning to play his Cleric, and all other new Divine casters forced into this mess. At least I can say my former Cleric and current Fvs got to run raids before Turbine decided that raids should be impossible to heal.
Anyone who disagrees is a Terrorist...

Change to display hp% only (or no numbers at all) and get the new blackbird skin (link below). It should help alleviate a lot of the pain.
