Turn Tracker Enhancements

The turn tracker right now is useable, but very simple. Two extra fields for each item in the tracker would extend the useability quite a bit. I know not every game system would make use of these items, but they could be options (enabled or disabled). It would be nice if we could have a Status text field and a Duration numeric field for each item added to the turn tracker. Status could be editable by the DM/GM on the fly with information pertaining to combat on a round by round basis (Token for Goblin #3 is Blind) and the duration field could automatically decrement the number of rounds that particular condition lasts as the rounds go by. I know we have the overlays for tokens and they are great. This would not replace those at all, but with a text field in the turn tracker, additional information could be kept there as a reminder to players and GMs...such as the specific effects of each condition. Those with access to the API could use this in conjunction with the overlays to automatically add information to the turn tracker and the tokens through scripts perhaps.
I wouldn't mind seeing this
I agree that the turn tracker needs additional enhancements and having it as a pseudo-condition tracker would be a welcome improvement.
I'd love to see the turn tracker gain the ability to either rescale it's font size or become fully scalable/translucent like the card decks to free up a little screen space.

What would be cool is if it became dockable and turn into another tab in the chat area.

Good ideas. Having the tracker "count-down" the condition would be handy. What about multiple conditions though? Maybe a little +/- button?

I see what you're suggesting. Not a bad idea. I would like to have some kind of "Counter" for statuses for each person who's in the Turn Order. I'd also like to see that Turn Order font go smaller, so Turn Order can take up a bit less screen real estate. Especially applies when the names are long, so they line-wrap making the Turn Order box tall, unless you widen it so the names fit on a single line each, then the Turn Order box is wide / big.
