I'd really like it if the "Party Memebers" window would automatically resize to the smallest possible size that shows all party members names w/o a scroll bar.

Of course this behavior could be disabled if necessary.

Personally, I'm partial to having it as small as possible in PvE missions.

Good idea?

um...no...a very unnessary feature

Party menu should be fixed size at all time. Everytime it change, you'll need to adjust to the new bar length. It often gives monks wrong judgement of healing the wrong target.

I wouldn't like it if the member list filled up my entire screen. I look at it often you know.

It wouldn't fill up your screen. It would just fit its width to the longest name in the list and its length to show all the names in the list.

You could disable it if you wanted. Also, while it's not necessary, it is nice. I'm constantly resizing this window because I do more than just missions. I do RA/TA and AB where the party size is 4 not 8. I've also been taking my Rit through the Jungle and Desert and the size there is 6. So it's a pain in the ass if I want to stop PvEing and go to TA. Now I'm sitting there resizing the window. Then if a few W/R with pets show up I need to resize again.

Just seems that it would be nice to have the window grow/shrink to fully display the party w/o truncating any names.

What I hate about the party window is that it occasionally shrinks when you join a party, causing names to be cut short and a scrollbar appearing. Then you have to resize it to what it was before.

I like the idea of making it always the "right" size, so that there's no empty space and no scrolling, unless you specify otherwise.

I like this idea, because I hate when the party menu spontaniously shrinks too.

Also, instead of putting the health of other peoples pets (which has no real use) maybe make a small bar above your health bar indicating the health of your pet. Of course make it a different color or put your pets name in it so you don't confuse it with your own. That way you can make the menu smaller so you have more room to see the action. You could also do the same thing for your minions health if your an MM. that way you know when to hit BotM and other minion healing spells.
