Suggestion: An on-screen visual for Crux as an option

I've seen a post or two on here about the moving Cruxes around the character causing people motion sickness, and I personally have a hard time focusing on the cruxes if there's a lot going on iin the screen. A good idea would be for an option of a Crux counter on the screen over them being around the player character. A lot of Final Fantasy 14's classes have unique class mechanics like Crux, and these mechanics all have visible, non-moving graphics/boxes that the player can focus on vs having to look at their player character. It definitely helps with knowing how the mechanic is going, and it also helps keep things like motion sickness from happening. I made a basic one that counts the three cruxes, from 0-3:



This said graphic can be movable on the screen with a Lock/Unlock option under it, as well as adjustable size, so the graphic does not block the desired UI of the player. And of course, this box should be a toggle under Accessability, if someone does not feel they want or need it. Here's what it'd look like on screen versus how Crux looks right now:

Just turn off the motion in the counter. Works great.

Proposal: When you gain your 3rd crux ...

1. A sound should play, like Grim Focus/Crystal Frags
2. Crux-spending skills should get a nice green highlight/border (Edit: Just noticed this is already in the game! Sorta subtle on my UI, but helpful)

They could also add a self-buff icon that has the number really big, like the skill timer icons but with a number and visual effect while full.

The spinning doesn't bother me so much, but I find the extra time it takes me to count them slows me down. I often fire an extra crux building skill, just in case.

I might try the crux counter addon to see if that helps
