After a little more playing around with Mirage UI today, I have some other random feedback/suggestions:
1)
Personal HP/STA/Mana bars: This "block" twitches side-to-side as buffs are added or removed from you. (Caused by the personal buff bar above your character name resizing on the fly.)
2)
Personal HP/STA/Mana bars: Having your buff icons repeated above your HP/STA/Mana bars seems a little redundant and cluttered, since they're always displayed in the default buff bar at the top of the screen.
3)
Group window: It would improve clarity if buffs were listed to the
right of the HP bars (per the default UI) rather than underneath. Obviously this would take up more horizontal space and less vertical, but would make it much easier for healers to track comparative health. Currently it's a little distracting when icons and colors are constantly popping on and off between the HP bars.
4)
Group window: HP bars move up and down as buffs are applied to/removed from group members, because each buff area resizes. A fixed-size buff area would solve that.
[I think (3) and (4) combined would be ideal: fixed-size buff areas (still a couple of rows high) to the right of the group HP bars. Apologies for my abysmal Paintshop-fu...

It wouldn't appear so compact when only a few group buffs are up, but it would significantly improve clarity when many buffs are running. 
I'm finding the clutter and movement in the group window is making it a little awkward to monitor, and the window can become very tall when you have a full group and many buffs/debuffs -- I lost the bottom end of my group window underneath my chat window a couple of times.]
5)
Group window: Permanent Stamina/Mana display in the group window would be awesome!
6)
Transparent sidebars: When set vertically, their resize "step" does not equal to the hotbutton size (so you always end up with a partial button displayed at the end).
Overall, I'm really loving having the enlarged group HP bars, the full size guild window, and especially the huge amount of hotbar space! Keep up the good work!
