Making the Cells in Grid More Usable

Had a few questions after my initial post about making it easier to read the names of people listed in Grid. With any new configuration one of the first things I do is change the cell width since it's difficult to use with the names cut so short:


As before, get started by typing /grid or right-click on the Grid handle if it's being displayed. Click the Frame tab. At the top, set Frame Width to 60. Under "Orientation of Frame" select Horizontal, as follows:


Then scroll down to the bottom. Set Center Text Length to 7, as shown here:


Names should be much easier to see now and the health bars work like the built-in raid frames where a filled box shrinks to the left as the person represented loses health.


The other layout options are all easy to set. Play around with them until they work a way that feels "right" for you.
