I can't get the Demon abilities to show-up for my Warlock when I use Metamorphosis. I don't recall how to setup the state configuration changes so those abilities work.

Click Skada -> Configure. Then click on the window name (mine was 'Skada' by default), then under background uncheck enable. If you want to clear the background of the title bar go to title bar (below background in configuration mode) and scroll down to background color. Click the button and then move the slide on the right all the way to the bottom.

This makes the box and the title bar "transparent". To do the same for the actual bars, click on bars in configure then click on the bar color and move the slider on the right all the way to the bottom.

Edit: I guess this leaves a slight gray shading for the bar but that seems to be about as transparent as I can get it. Hope that helps somewhat.

If you really, really want to get rid of the backgrounds for the bars open up "Skada\BarDisplay.lua" and find the lines (245 and on in my file):

	else
		-- Default color.
		local color = win.db.barcolor
		bar:SetColorAt(0, color.r, color.g, color.b, color.a or 1)
	end

after those, add the line

	bar:SetBackgroundColor(0, 0, 0, 0)

This shouldn't give any problems, but I only quickly looked over the code and just tested with my own specific set up of Skada.

Shadowed Unit Frames question here. Is it possible to have a black border around the text on the bars? I'm not finding any option to do so.

I have some questions about grid. I really like Tukui's Grid layout (tukui.org) and was wodnering if you can get that config somehow without the rest of the UI?

Pyrates · 11/08/10, 4:03 PM

Tukui doesn't use grid. They call it a "raid grid", but it's an ouf layout and not the addon called grid. It won't really work without the rest of tukui, not without some lua hacking at least.

I'm having a little difficulty setting up my UI. I have placed several fonts I wish to use inside the SharedMedia fonts folder but they are not showing up on the fonts list of any addons I'm using (Pitbull, MSBT, Etc). The fonts are .ttf files.

In the SharedMedia folder, you'll see a file called "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" which will give you a full explanation for how to get your fonts up and running.

Speaking of fonts..

I'd love to find a way to change Blizzard's font colors - the yellow/white combo you see in things like the default floating combat text, quest tracker, and dialog boxes. Skinner didn't work, and to my knowledge all the font mods out there only deal with the ttf files - not colors.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to filter nameplates? For example, it gets so cluttered if it also shows totems etc. I know that Caith UI somehow filtered the totems only to show Tremor totem. Did she use a special addon or is it lua coding?

Duilliath · 11/11/10, 6:32 PM

Tidy Plates : Unit Mods : WoWInterface Downloads most likely.

I am trying to place a power aura over my target frame, as long as rend is apllied (arms warrior here).
But the aura apperas behind the target frame (pitbull).
I lowered the target frame strata to background, frame level 1, but the aura still appears behind the frame.
Is there any other way than lua editing to change the POWA strata?

Kevinally · 11/17/10, 4:59 AM

According to the Power Auras Classic wiki, it hasn't been implemented yet. source. You might just want to go with off-setting it until it is implemented, since LUA hacking it would be an arduous procedure. If you follow the link, you can vote it up. I assume the designers use that to see what people want them to do.

I just came back for cata and I'm looking for a PolMonitor replacement.
