You're right, aligning something that's constantly changing can be tricky. I haven't figured out a way around this yet, but I'll take another look when I have some more free time.
Ive been testing it last night and I sorta like with just "current" for HP too. Warming up to the idea as it cleans the UI a bit (and its all aligned). So its no big deal. Dont worry about that! :) EDIT: Is it possible to instead edit the vertical space between each character lines (NAME / HP / MP I mean) so that the letters/numbers are vertically closer together (on all of the battle menus)? Also, I realize that the names are somewhat locked in place, vertically speaking. I wish only for this possible change instead:
- Reducing the space between lines, vertically, on all of the battle menus.
About padding, I could simply "pad out" the names themselves in the database as well. So its no big deal. PS: I edited this message like 15x to clarify and remove redundancies.
