I still can't figure out how to get Bongos to let me do my druid forms. I'm using Bongos2 and it won't automatically switch bars for me, so my forms are sort of ineffective since i have to manually page the action bar.

Does anyone know what ace addon is the "replacement" for debuff filter? I think I read it somewhere in this forum, but my searching didn't turn up anything useful.

Thanks!

Need some help with parrot. For hots, it adds up the total healed when i just want a single tick.

ie, the excessively long +411 [110 OH] [2 heals] should just read +261 or +151 [110 OH]. Tag for hots is set to "[Name] +[Amount]".

Silly question but I am currently using Hourglass2, that I found on someone's compUI. I downloaded it just for that.

I can't find Hourglass2 anywhere. Hourglass is on files.wowace.com but it's just hourglass and not hourglass2. Here's the stupid question. Are they the same thing? If not does anyone know where I would be able to find Hourglass2. I've checked all the normal UI/Mod sites with no luck.

Any other ideas for improvement are welcome.

One minor detail I've found that goes pretty far in cleaning up the overall UI look is having bar mods all use the same bar texture where appropriate/possible. Your cooldowntimer&capping both have flat textures, your quartz is using gloss(?) and your unitframes are using something else. Most of these can all be modified to use the same texture.

The same can generally be done with fonts.

It's all personal preference of course really.

Im getting a weird Ace2 error involving Gratuity upon logging in.

Error message is:
Iterface\Addons\Ace2\AceAddon-2.0\AceAddon-2.0.lua:999:Gratuity-2.0:attempt to call a nil value

Is there anyway to move that new minimap tracker? Or go back to using vtrack and have what your tracking said on your map? Might i also ask: did anyones buffalo buffs all of a sudden get a dream layout outline around your buffs?

Same, I hate the position of the new tracker.

There is a setting in the parrot configuration somewhere that combines all heals recieved within x seconds, reduce this to zero and it will fix it. I can't tell you the exact setting because I am not at home right now.

Is this just from today or prior to the patch?

I use Bongos2 on my warrior and druid, and once I set the paging for each stance up, and then populated the appropriate bar with the abilities relative to each form/stance it worked perfectly.

How do i clamp the minimap tracker button to the Minimap so it can be moved with my minimap addon?

P.S Im using simpleminimap.

Edit: You would not happen to know how to hide the necb minimap icon as well would you?

An addon called SurfaceControl makes this quite easy (at least for all Ace mods using SharedMedia for textures) by forcing a specific texture to be returned from SML no matter what texture is asked for.
