Token Bars – Option to disable them

We need an option to disable Token Bar(s), so they NEVER appear. When linking the Token Bars to a character sheet to populate Token Bubbles, the Token Bars appear. This option needs a simple checkbox next to each Token Bar. Note: Unchecking the ‘See’ checkbox does NOT prevent the Token Bar from appearing when a Token from a character sheet is dropped on the VTT if the character sheet has a ‘Max’ value for that bar. For example, hit_points, even if you remove the value from the Token Bars settings for the token, dropping it back on the VTT automatically creates the bar and adds that value back into the ‘Max’ field. Have a checkbox to Disable an individual Token Bar from appearing. Have Game/Game Settings/Game Default Settings so GMs can also disable an individual Token Bar just like the GM can check or uncheck the box under Player Permission for ‘See’. When the Token Bar is disabled, the Token Bubbles are affected!

Oh yes. These bars become so annoying when they overlap Token Markers or other tokens when tokens are next to each other. Also, keeping the Token Bubbles is useful.

If you go to the controls tab (Gear Icon), you can change the color of the bar to transparent (slide the bar all the way to the left). that way, as long as the token bars are set to "compact" that bar will be invisible.

To add to what Rick A. wrote, after making the bars transparent you can remove the bar text by editing the token and clicking the 3 dots. Then Switch the "Text Overlay" to "Hidden".  Alternately, just turn on "Hover to show nameplate and bar overlay (tokens + Map Pins)" in the My Settings tab.  That way you don't see the bar unless you are hovering on the token.

Yes, Rick then works, but it is a pain to do that for each and every token in the game. I see no way to set the color to Transparent in Game Settings unless I am missing something there.

Those color settings control the color of the bars and bubbles for all tokens within the game. The controls under the gear icon tab are also Game Settings.

Rick, once I cleared my browser cache, that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the workaround. However, I still wish there were a disable setting. Thanks again. Mike
