What it does
RangeDisplay estimates the distance to your target from spell range, item range and interact distance checks, and shows it as a range on screen. The number is an approximation. Interact distance checks are only used when spell or item checks are not possible.
Besides the target you can add separate displays for your focus, your pet and whatever is under the mouse. The mouseover display can follow the cursor or stay in a fixed place.
Range sections can have their own color and sound, and the sound plays as you enter the section. A sound for the target's close range section is on by default, which helps ranged classes keep their distance and melee see when they can hit.
