Would be nice if whispers didn't have the typing bubble over portraits or diff them

Always disappointed when I see a lot of typing bubbles on portraits only to realize they're whispers.

It would be nice if there were a toggle to allow the DM to change this so that they appear differently to identify them as beginning with "/w" somehow, color, size, shape? Don't appear at all?

Thanks for consideration.

As a GM? You can turn an option on that let's you, as the GM, see all the players' whispers to each other. Then you'll know they aren't typing to the chat window.

Yes, GM should be able to see every whisper. How else will you know when a random PC needs a little misfortune to brighten their game up?

Yes, there is that toggle as DM but it doesn't address the issue for anyone as the DM doesn't know it's a whisper either until the player hits return. The issue is that player and DM think someone else is about to speak and wait for their posting before starting one of their own. Then the bubble disappears and no post appears for players and the DM realizes he's been holding up the game. Disappointing.

Therefore, if the bubble recognized that a "/w" was leading the chat, have it a different color, size, or shape.

I'd recommend you add it to the FG wish list: https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/

I agree that if a developer thinks it's a valid request, they should add it to the list.

Or if you already have a valid account for that site, feel free to cut and paste my description into a new request.

You can do it "without registration". I think the person who originally advocated the idea should be the one to post it in the FG wish list.

My players don't call me an evil GM. They know better.

Good idea though.

Oh, it's not my Players who call me an Evil GM - not while their Characters are alive, anyway <WEG = Wicked Evil Grin>
