I have a question pertaining to using mouseover macros. For example I might have the following macro for Renew:

#showtooltip Renew
/cast [target=mouseover] Renew

If I bind that macro to a button my keyboard, "E" for example I can hover my mouse pointer over a persons Grid Frame and press E it will cast renew on them without having to target them, but the same will not work if I have a macro bound to my mouse button. Is it that the UI won't allow 2 functions from the mouse at the same time (mouseover and mouseclick?) or would it have to be something programmed into the mod?

Is there any way to configure GridManaBars to show a deficit (actual or %)? Having the little bar is lovely, but I've gone back to a 'low mana' warning icon with a threshold of 50% until I can figure this out.

I'm not certain why you would need to see mana bars. Even if the idea is to call out for innervates/manatide whatever, its always best to let the person who is running OOM call out for it. A low mana bar doesn't always = going OOM because you dont know what their cooldowns are looking like. They could be at 10% mana, but only 10 seconds away from popping a supermana pot, shadowfiend, etc....

Anyway to change the range checking on grid.

I would like to change it from 40 yards to 30.

I don't disagree - casters should be managing their own mana, arranging their own innervates, etc.

It's mostly just a degree of accuracy thing - I would like to have a more accurate measurement of individual mana remaining visible than just the bar.

I have a horizantal grid layout with names and health deficit on the text items. I also use the side indicator thingy.

Border : Aggo Alert > Healer Priority
Center Text : abbreviated name
Center Text 2 : Health deficit, death, offline
Top left : PW:S, Weakend Soul
Top Right : Magic debuff, Disease Debuff
Bottom Left : My Renew
Bottom Right : INcoming Heal, Low Mana
Frame Alpha : death, offline, range
Left Side : Prayer of Mending
Right Side : Fear ward, Inspiration
Top Edge : Missing Divine Spirit (OOC only)
Bottom Edge : Missing PW:F (OOC), Clearcasting (so i don't miss my own and can get annoyed about how often the mage one procs)

So in the following Dyv has PoM, my renew and fear ward.

An OOC version showing missing buffs:

I found this mods options very confusing and rather shitty. Im trying to make my grid have the boxes in a rectangle closer to what a unit frame looks like. Very much like the above posters. Is there a simple way to do edit the indivual boxes, I have yet to find the option for it, I am racking my brain with this.

Go to Frames -> Advanced for options on the appearance and size of the frames.

Mine updated, I find I like making them look fairly similar to regular untiframes.

Is there a way to change the thickness of Border Frame?

You're misunderstanding the way a macro's button: modifier works. It pertains to how you click the button. You can't have a mouseover target and button modifier work for the same spell, because to right-click the button, the button is your mouseover target.
/cast [target=mouseover] Renew
/cast [button:2] Power Word: Shield
Will cast a renew on your mouseover target, or cast a PW:S on your current target if you right-click the button.

What I'd like to see if the background deficit bar represent hp on some classes, but mana on other classes. The mana bar mod is kind of similar to this but does too much, I think. I don't really want to see rage/energy on melee, and I don't want to see health on casters. Am I being too picky here?

I keep getting the following error when using Grid plus GridManaBars

Error: attempt to index field 'ManaBar' (a nil value)
AddOn: GridManaBars
File: GridManaBars.lua
Line: 141
Count: 1

Also get the following error when i try to hide/show Gridmana:

Error: attempt to index local 'ro' (a nil value)
AddOn: GridManaBars
File: GridManaBars.lua
Line: 296
Count: 5

Grid question --- how do I disable the highlight that appears on mouse over? I can't seem to find an option for it anywhere.

Thanks!

It's such a simple thing that I feel like I really must be overlooking the obvious but for the life of me I can't find a way to do it.

XRS status lets you see the name of AFK/offline/dead people when you hover on the bar
