That actually looks great. Did I miss zork's latest post or did you change his border texture?

Upload of the border *.tga file would be much appreciated. <3

How would i parent an eepanels to quartz? Just unlock quartz, put the eepanels over it, and in parenting put quartz? Or do i have to do somthing or write somthing more specific in the parenting part or somthing?

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you just setup the eepanels background then move the quartz cast bar over the background you setup with eepanels.

It's amazing what you can learn when you take the time to look.

For those that pester people on here with a lot of questions, I first suggest you try to do some research on your own. For most ace mods, the wiki pages and forum threads provide a lot of information and will answer most of your questions.

http://www.wowace.com/wiki/EePanels2

How to parent is listed there, along with the macro you need to make in order to find a frame's name.

Using google is pretty hard.

Wouldnt you have to do somthign with the parenting part, because if ya do that and no parenting the eepanels would just stand there, no?

Ok so i made the macro /print GetMouseFocus():GetName() and i put it in my bar, and when i clicked it and hoverd over my castbar that was well...casting, nothing happend. Im not sure what to do once you get the macro, as far as putting it on your bars, clicking it on your bar, and where does the name of the thing i want to parent come up?

Player Cast Bar: QuartzCastBar

Player Unit Frame: PitBullUnitFrame1

Target Unit Frame: PitBullUnitFrame4

Would anyone smarter than me be willing to try to get these borders Zork has done to apply to the mod Enhancers totem timers? I'll pay you in appreciation.

Hmm, why the heck would you use eepanels for Pitbull and Quartz?
This is not needed since they can show the tooltip-border itself, all you have to understand is how it works.

Quartz border activation in 3 steps:
- open quartz config
- go to the border-alpha slider under colors and move it to 1 (this means 100% visivility)
- go to the border-color field and change the color to white (important) since the color is multiplicated with the border-texture (1*1=1). now the border becomes visible

Same for pitbull: (ok this one is for my rusty pitbull, but the rock version should be the same)
- open pitbull config
- go to global settings -> colors -> frame -> border
- make it white with 100% visibility

Done. The border is already there you just have to switch the light one
If you see the default blizzard tooltip border you forgot to replace the "/" with "\\" thats all.

If the addon has the possibility to show the tooltip-border already, go use it!

I, too, was wondering why Ryas and some others use this method (parenting to eePanels/PitBull for borders). Figured it was common knowledge, but this is a great guide to opening it up.

The above method works for several other addons too.

Clock + fps/latency is....CFL!
Clock + memory/latency is....CML!

I'm not sure if CFL is distributed apart from in some compilations, but CML is on wowace.

Could be also SLTimex , wich is basically CML with more options to configure.

like:
-Toggle Clock/Stat stacking positions: Have the clock either on the bottom or the top, simply toggle to your desired position.
-Toggle FPS, Memory, and Latency Modules on and off as desired in any configuration: All stats can be independently toggled on and off. Show which you want, hide which you don't.
-SharedMedia Support: Includes a variety of fonts standalone, as well as supporting SharedMedia fonts between other SM-supporting addons.
-Clock seperator and Stat seperator feature: Use any supported character you wish to seperate your Clock & Stats. Defaults to ":" and "|".
Placement Features: Lock/Unlock to drag to your desired location. Included are menu X & Y Offsets that you can tweak one integer at a time to get it exactly where you want.
-Text Justification: Justify the text however you want. Each text string can be independently justified to customize the look & layout.
-24 Hour and 12 Hour clock styles: Not digging AM/PM defaults? Go to military time with the 24 Hour clock feature.
-Scaling: Feel limited by the text size restraints? Get the look you want at whatever size you can, and use the scaling feature to better adjust the size for the look you're trying to achieve.

Also features:
-Right click to access a dropdown GUI menu
-SLTimex now collects your garbage for you! (See dropdown menu for feature)
