I'm trying to learn the EQ GUI and have a decent target window done. Would like feedback and/or suggestions. Next 2 windows im working on are player window and buff window. These are not gonna be fancy schamcy windows, just functional versions of default windows.

My experience with other UI's is that including distance and line of sight to the target window is a HUGE HUGE help for me especially when I'm pulling.
From what I saw on the screen shot I like the addition of the target's direction.
Are the coordinates above current location your current location or the target's location?
This is not a request but a suggestion for you to play around with.... Calculate the difference in the Z-coordinate of the target in relationship to your position. When looking at a map with mobs, sometimes it can be confusing to target mobs on the map only to realize they are way above or below you. Example: DoH 69.1.
Good luck.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been extreamly bizzy. I'm still working on the GUI though. Currently working on a buff window to include time left on buffs. To answer your questions:
Thanks for the reminder about distance, I keep forgetting to add that. Will add.
Z-Axis. I don't want to clutter the window too much so maybe I'll add a small indicator. I could even include that as an option to use with the macro that I will eventually write to enhance the GUI and user can turn on/off with just a command.
Current Loc is current Loc of target. Player's current Loc will be either on player window or a another window that will include other MQ2 info, kinda like what Harden did with Krut's friends window.
Thanks for the feedback
