I love Anarchy Online, I have played it before but never got into it but I have started playing again with a friend and it is really fun. I am only level 13 at the moment so I'm grinding a lot in the subway but it is great. |

The options are fairly limited as to how far the GUI of Anarchy Online can be modified. I don't think that numbers can be added to any of the status bars (HP, NP, AXP, EXP), but there are a few skins that add more visible "ticks" to give you a better idea of the percentage, but now actual numbers display (though, the stats bar in the roll-up panel does display these stats). The hotbar can't be changed all that much either: you're pretty much stuck with the 1-0 for each row. What can be done is moving your actions bar free of the roll-up panel and stretching that out to provide some extra hotbar functionality (perk effects, combat moves, etc.).
Hope the limited information I can provide helps. |

Thank you, can you provide any links or information on the "skins" you was talking about? |

I'm not entirely familiar with all of the various skins available for the Anarchy Online GUI, but the Dovvetech skins are generally well-liked and considered pretty good. Links to preview and download them can be found at forums.anarchy-online.com/showthread.php

I tried that one, it is nice but on my screen resolution (1920x1200) it is very, very small :(. Now level 23 BTW :). |

Which version did you try on that resolution? If DarkMini it might be really to small. ;o)
Anyways I where not able to test my skins at higher resolutions than 1600x1280 so I canonly guess what it will look like. |

Just open the stats window (ctrl+9), it has the health, nano and XP bars with text showing your current/max for each plus your attack rating and ACs are there as well. As for the short-cut bar that is fixed to ten slots to go with the 1-0 keys on your keyboard. Although you also have ten groups of ten slots (shift+<a number key>) so 100 slots gives you a decent amount of room for things. I find it best to use a group for related things like one or two purely for combat, one for healing, related buffing nanos and so on. There is a fair bit you can do to tinker with the windows without having to get into skinning though. Dovve skins are basically retro pre-SL skinned windows, they don't really add much of anything, I just use the options available and stick with the default one. I would suggest you toss everything from the GUI wings except the little bars at the bottom (F10 for options, select the Preferences tab and expand the GUI list). Personally I like to split the text that rolls in over more than one chat window. I have combat related text and vicinity in a window at the top which is set to 100% inactive transparency, auto fade (text goes away after a while), turn off auto subscribe new channels, turn on auto hide input bar and click through (ctrl+7 for the friends window, right click the chat windows name and select Enable Click Through). I then have my general chat in a window at the bottom (100% inactive transparency and click through as well). You could then add other windows to your liking like one that records your and/or others damage and you could set it to log that and so on, those can be shown and hidden from the friends window (ctrl+7). You could also use normal chat windows rather than borderless (right click or alt+right click the chat window then select visual > mode > normal) and then you can stack chat windows together (right click window name, drop it on/beside the tab of the chat window you want to added it to) and select them from their tabs (tabs change colour when new entries roll in). With the GUI wings gone I pull the NCU window (ctrl+0) out from the right bar (right click the name then click somewhere open on the screen), turn the window auto fade option off (click the thumb-tack icon) expand it to my liking and stick it in the bottom left corner (you could set it to list to show the names and exact time remaining in text too). The short-cut bar I have set to vertical (right click the tab on the far left/top to change orientation) and stick that in the upper left corner. The little floating health, nano and XP bars I have on either side of my character so they're easy to keep an eye on. The bars for your target I move just under my combat chat window and over my health, nano and XP bars. Other stuff to yank out of the right side bar is the programs window (ctrl+8) and shop window. Be a good idea to set both to list mode (click the "i" icon at the top left) and expand them to a good size. Then for the windows you leave in the right bar except for the team window you can vertically stretch them by dragging the little grey bar at the bottom of each. |
