(I split this off from the original post because this paragraph very cleanly fits in this feature category, while the other paragraph very cleanly fits in the gallery category)
It’s good to hear feedback on the label overlapping, I haven’t heard much about it since the anti-overlap code landed.
I try to avoid “options” as much as possible, because each configuration setting is another choice GMs have to make. And the choices can quickly add up and become overwhelming. So having label overlap be managed by passing off some of the control to the user will be my last resort.
I wonder how it would feel if my anti-overlap code didn’t allow any overlap at all, and instead, when it can’t find a home for a label it’d annotate the icon somehow for users. Then these labels would only appear when hovering over the token.
I wrote the code and tried out having all labels hidden by default until hovered over and it was just too inconvenient. You end up having to hunt for what you want by moving your mouse over a bunch of tokens, and a lot of use cases are made much harder (like Using tokens for tracking initiative order). But this might be a nice compromise…
