ffxiv-act-rainbow-mage-overlays's Issues

Table does not scroll in party sizes larger than threshold

Table does not scroll to allow seeing entries beyond 13-14 party members as such encountered during alliance raids.

Font Sizing

How can I change font size to 24?

Rows automatically adjusting height

On the overlay, depending on the jobs the height of the rows are different. I've noticed this on WHM, SGE, RPR, SCH and some others to be different height.

How do I change size and opacity?

I am finding it hard to see what's going on, as it's almost completely transparent and very small

Image load error displaying broken image link icon

When parser cannot find a class icon for a friendly logged entity it is displaying a broken image link icon. When it should be displaying as a transparent blank.

PLEASE do not instruct people to install the version of overlayplugin that you are using in the readme!

the version referenced in your readme file is out dated and has not been updated since 2015..

the correct way to install overlayplugin is to open ACT.. goto the plugins -> plugin listing tab, and in the upper right corner is a get plugins button.. choose the top of the resulting list of plugins

this will install the latest overlayplugin (ngld is the dev)

from there you can click the new button on the overlayplugin dll tab, name the overlay you are adding and choose the custom preset with miniparse type then hit OK to save your overlay. then, click the overlay you just added, and click on the URL path (tripple dots to the right), browse to your extracted overlays from your release zip, and life goes on :) no problem

Missing handle.png to resize

Just pulled your overlay and noticed that the handle.png to resize the window is missing?

I'm running the latest OverlayPlugin version (OverlayPlugin 0.17.4)

Local Dependency

I absolutely love this overlay. My only issue is that it has a local file dependency and can't work with WebSocket. Rainbowmage is specifically a local overlay it seems, which creates an issue for how i'm using it. I would've loved for this remix version to have no local dependency so that it could be used with websocket instead of locally.

Size Adjust Corner doesnt vanish if i lock the window

Hello,
i reinstalled ACT and your Overlay. But if i lock the window and activate clickthrough, i can still see the "size adjust"-corner. If I remember correctly, the corner was not visible as soon as I set the two options.
