I have a problem with tracking mana in game. The mana bar above my avi's head is dark blue, and virtually impossible to see.
May I make the following suggestions?
Make the mana bar a different colour (e.g. Gold), or make it antialiased against the current background so it's clearer.
Put a mana bar on the character sheet, between XP and HP
And best of all, have two in game thermometers at the base of the screen, one for HP and the other for mana
They're not going to take up that much screen estate, surely?
Cheers

Re: Mana tracker
This has been suggested a few times before.
In my opinion, it should currently stay how it is, but with the mana bar added into the backpack screen. The reason for this is not just the player has these bars, buildings and monsters also have it. Changing only the player and not the buildings and monsters just doesn't work in my opinion.

Re: Mana tracker
Could we keep the bar there and still add to the back pack
Re: Mana tracker
Monsters only show HP as an indication of how wounded they are so we know whether we're doing damage or not (and when to run away!). We would only see our own mana, not that of other creatures or structures.

Whatever, the on screen mana bar needs a better (lighter) colour. Dark blue I'd almost invisible when next to the light green HP bar
