ID'ing characters by color
I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but before I changed colors around on select character's health/mana/endurance bar, I wasn't as quick to correctly select which character I wanted direct control of. I use 2 computers. One is just for my warrior. The other one has two screens and does 5 accounts. One screen just has my chanter on it, the other has my shaman/wiz/mage/cleric.
My shaman is the floater, so if he is not front stage and center on that monitor, he takes the smaller screen spot of whichever character is. My wiz is always left, mage center (small screen) and cleric is always right. To try to keep from porting out/looting with the wrong character, I color coded the 4 that shares a screen (just right click the window). You also need to change the texture as default doesn't really show coloring well, but the other makes it very obvious what is what. My shaman is bright blue, my mage and cleric is orange as I am power-leveling them and port them around a lot. Really, all you need to color code (if at all) is the floater, but I wanted easy confirmation on the cleric/mage so I don't have to read names to know I am on the right window. See orange, port them out.
