Hi friends

I'd like to share a small addon I recently put together. It's a GUI overlay that displays your last Weapon Skill, damage dealt, and tracks your average. This is as much for aesthetics as for being able to easily see your last WS damage. It is color coded for different damage thresholds (white, to blue, to gold, to red), includes flair animations for large hits, has a pop up for "Skillchain Bonuses" and will display a streak for consecutive 99,999 hits. It fades away after 60s of inactivity but comes back on the next WS. It is intended to add a little bit of an arcade feel while you're out fighting.

It is fully customizable, including pos, font, size, spacing between elements, location of animations, timing, etc. It uses the Highwind Font by default, which you must install to add it to Windows Font library. This is very easy to do with a simple google search for Highwind Font.

Please let me know if you have any issues, suggestions, or criticism. Thank you for your time.
