📋 About This Mod
I tried to revive the linear compass from the early days.
This mod displays a compass bar at the top of the screen and provides a CET window to adjust some settings, such as font, color, size, opacity and format type. With the settings, the compass can also be placed at the bottom of the screen, below the minimap, above the health bar or wherever you like. The widget can be turned on and off via CET hotkey and via Native Menu, Interface section.
