I just turned off paging for those characters, but that might mess up your shapeshifting stance swapping on the bars. If that's the case, just change the manual paging to some unused hotkey combination (alt+minus/alt+plus?) to stop it from happening.

I have a problem lately that I cannot get rid off:
I use Fubar and it should display a single bar at the bottom screen. I do not use any addons that change the default blizzard castbar/icons (like bartender...). I had Fubar configured to move the Blizz-Castbar up, and it worked fine until two weeks ago. However now it is broken and it moves up and down on enter and leaving of fights...

I have problems to reproduce the behaviour, and my addons are all updated as far as I know and fubar updated several times since then. I once resat Fubar to default values and reconfigured, but the moving did not stop. Deactivating other Addons does not seem to help.

Has anyone had this problem and can point me in the right direction?

I suppose this is the thread I should ask the question in.

I downloaded CowTip, and I'm really liking it, but it doesn't show the title of my target. Could someone tell me what I need to put in the Line Texts to enable that? Also, where would I put in the lines to style it like it normally is(e.g. Justicar Soandso, Champion of the Naaru)

Macbeet: I've not come across your problem. You can try deleting all fubar associated lua files from your WTF folders (check individual character folders as well just in case). Then start over. That won't tell you what happened wrong however, but might fix it. Back up your WTF folder before you tinker!

Whitebushido: I'm a complete nooblet when it comes to coding but this page helped me: DogTag-1.0/Tags - WowAce Wiki

I'm looking for a way to edit SpellAlert, or otherwise a similar addon, that displays all incoming offensive spells on me and nothing else.

Any way to edit SpellAlert like that or any other addon that does that?

What i was wondering is if there is a easy way to do this on my own, considering i don't have the programing skills nor the patience at the moment to try and figure all that out.

I was really hoping someone could help me out with this. Nobody has an easy or semi-easy suggestion for me huh?

I was wondering, how do you guys align objects on your screen to the center, and is it also possible to space objects from the absolute center. For example, I have seen interfaces where the player and target unit frames are center aligned, and have a space of, say, 300 pixels between them.

Is there an addon that lets me snap UI frames to certain lines on an imaginary grid, or some other technique?

Try an addon called 'Align'. It creates a grid that helps tremendously when creating your ui. It might even be ace2, I'm not sure.

I wish it were ace2. I always have to go dig it out of wowinterface.com - right here.

It has no real gui or commands save for /align which toggles the grid on/off. It also doesn't support any snapping.

I like what this person has done down the bottom by joining the panels. I assume it's eePanels to do it with some custom textures. I've tried fiddling with some of the default ones in GIMP but it's not turning out anywhere near as well. Does anyone know if those textures are part of a pack somewhere or if they're custom or if anyone could point me where to start to do something similar that would be great!

Anias · 12/24/07, 9:53 PM

It's just a few normal panels set at a higher frame offset than his other eepanels, yet still below the other UI elements with the left/right borders turned off.

He's just aligning it on the screen to create the clean box connects. I imagine it took a bit of playing with it (or using visor to nudge it about) to get it just right.

Hi. I'm getting pretty happy with my PitBull setup:

...but I'd really like to use a different, less artsy font for the text on the right of the frames. As far as I can tell, PitBull doesn't support using multiple different fonts, at least not by default, so I'm wondering if there's any sort of trick I could use here, like changing some hidden PitBull setting or using another addon that just displays health/power text (like a "detached" version of the PitBull module or whatever).

krayons · 12/26/07, 10:44 PM

Need help. I had a customer pitbull, and can't remember where I got it. My WTF files got replaced and I'm trying to find the ui that looks like this. If anyone knows where I can find it, please let me know.

Thanks,
krayons

I am using Prat and I would like to center the text on my chat log but still be able to click links and names. Under paragraph i enable "Fix placement of player/item links" and then set the alignment to center but I am still unable to view links or click player names. Am I missing something or is this feature bugged?

Edit to add another question. Is there a way to make CML show standard time instead of military?

Xav · 12/27/07, 12:56 AM

Hi, I am curious if there is any way to filter out some nameplates you don't want to see, while still seeing others. Of the same type. For example, in Mount Hyjal, is there a way I can filter out Ghouls from showing up (They're named just "Ghoul") on my nameplate display, but still let me see things like Abomination?

I'm using Aloft as my nameplate mod, but I don't really see any option like that in there, and wonder if it's an option anywhere or can be hacked in somewhere?

Would be really useful! Thanks in advance.
