[Request] Maintain clipping overlay for duration of next GCD #4

Closed oorzkws closed 2 years ago

oorzkws commented 2 years ago

As it is currently, if you clip late in the GCD you may not see it - the red portion will disappear as soon as the GCD rolls over. My suggestion would be to retain the clipping portion of the overlay until the wheel reaches that point again, or until the next instance of clipping, whichever happens sooner.

I agree with this, it worked that way in a previous iteration, but I felt like it made the already cluttered wheel worse, and it got confusing when the clipped portion had to change size with cooldowns that speed up the GCD (MCH or DNC).

I was toying with the idea of displaying the clipped ms as a toast for a couple of seconds, see example here: exampleToast Would that work? would appreciate ideas on how to make it better.

That's a good point with the GCD changing duration, I hadn't considered that. I think a binary indicator would work better in my opinion, there's enough going on that a yes/no (or a yes/blank) would be preferable to something more to read.

You are right, might be too much information, I'm working with this right for now, because I can't think about a neater way that's easy to understand. ClipNotice Obviously would have some setting to turn it off when it gets annoying.

I'm a bit torn, as that's more noticeable but I feel like the window isn't much longer than how long the red shows on the bar. Maybe making the slim bar's background red for the clipped GCD?

Yep, that looks a lot better: ClipNotice I'll polish it a bit, add some config options and it will be in the next release.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to giving it a shot
