Screen Shots of your UI...

[Haleth]

I used to have a top panel, but I removed it because after moving the minimap down and enabling zone text on mouseover only it really served no purpose anymore.

Anyways, I went back to my previous xp/rep bar near the minimap, I still like that more.

It feels a bit too intrusive to have it at the bottom, plus it sort of kills the UI balance for me.
