another newbie question

hello again, everyone

I'm slowly getting into this game, I'm down in the Wesrin Cross area. Lots of fun! Great game.

During a big battle with a bunch of spiders, I must have hit some strange key combination and I have apparently, accidentally turned something on.. now I cant figure out how to get rid of it, or turn it off.

On the playing field, at each of my characters' feet, are two small colored horizontal bars, a red one, and a blue one. I'm not talking about the red and blue vertical bars up next to the character portraits in th eupper left of the screen. This is in the playing area. It's distracting and I would like to know, if anyone has an idea how I can get rid of these little horizontal bars.

Also, another note, I'm playing on a smallish monitor, a 15". The playing area gets crowded quickly.. is their a hotkey for hiding the character portraits?

thank you.

The two horizontal colored bars are each characters health and mana. Don't know how you turned those on (don't remember the hotkey). You turn those on so you can turn off the character portraits (don't remember that hotkey either)

i thought so, and that would be very useful to me, considering my small screen.

I'm very new to the game, so pardon all these stupid questions. Is there a list of all the hotkey defaults somewhere? Online? I didnt see it in the manual, and I looked under OPTIONS last nite, but it was late, I was very tired, and I didnt see anything.

Maybe I missed it.

Look at the back of your instruction Manual.

The hotkey you are looking for to disable to bar next to your character should be X.
