Bar update problem

Hi,

I got a problem - whenever a bar updates there is a trailing (if bar decreases) or leading (if bar increases) light filling within the bar which stays there until the next bar update.

I'm attaching a screenshot: the target health and power bars (and Tot power bar too but not so noticable) have this light filling I'm talking about in the upper part of the bar, it has lighter color then the bar and it stays there until the next bar update. As you can see on this screenshot especially it's annoying since you can't say whether the bar is full or half empty.

In general I got an impression the bar update rate is low (even when setting /nui framerate 60) but the worst is that this light filling seems badly synchronized with the darker filling. If it only were visible for a few milliseconds it would give an impression of smooth bar update but the way it is now makes the bars un-usable ( Is there a cure to this? I have turned off all other addons and this still stays.

It's showing you how much the bar changed... it's an indication of the size of the change.

I see. The problem is when the bar decreases the actual state is indicated by the dark filling, and when the bar increases the actual state is indicated by the light filling. It's confusing especially in a PvP fight with all the damage and healing going on since I don't know whether to look at the dark or light filling for actual state, and also I can't utilize peripheral vision and have to look at the bars explicitly to distinguish between light and dark. I'm sure there are many people who would not want to know the size of the change and would just want to know the actual current state. Is there way to turn it off? If you point me to some source file / piece of code I will try to tweak things myself, otherwise will just wait for nUI6 where hopefully you will provide this option.

I'll keep that in mind as something to option in a future release... though this is the first times anyone's asked for that.
