Illogical Number display across unit frames
So ever since WoW released, the numbers on unit frames were displayed as such
The issue here is, who on earth writes this number as 1177K ? Instead of... You know.... 1.17M
The numbers display seems to follow a rule of 3-5 digits, so you go from
100 > 1,000 > 10,000 > 100k > 1000k > 10M, etc... instead of the more sensible and easier on the eye:
100 > 1,000 (or 1.0k) > 10k > 100k > 1.0M > 10M, etc...
At times, I find that incredibly unreadable. It feels like they do everything to avoid decimals. Especially in that middle part, 1000k to 9999k. That is just a silly way to display numbers.
I used ElvUI for a long time, which displayed it normally, with like.. 2-3 digits, maybe 4 at times, but recently decided to stick with the basic Blizz UI, but I keep noticing there is no way to change this numbers display.
Does anyone know an addon that fixes it? I can't seem to find anything on Curse-Forge that works in Midnight.
