Are you able to be more specific with what "isn't good" about your UI?

Addons exist as solutions to problems or as improvements over the status quo. What are you trying to achieve?

I'm sure this functionality exists in a mod somewhere, I jut cna't seem to find it. What I'm after is a way to remember specific action bar setups, and activate them based on the role I'm currently engaged in. For instance, on my Pally I'll respec between Holy, Ret and Prot in the space of a week, and my active talents are completly different for each spec. I tried using the inactive action bars, but it didn't suit my UI. It gets old fast having to change my bars around each time, does anyone know of a way to get around this?

Chatter is an excellent mod. I highly recommend it.

I just downloaded notsimplecombat log, which is the simplecombat log of 2.4 and works only with 2.4. I downloaded it and installed it, but my combat log is still th 2.4 combat log. Does anyone know why this is?

Instant Health - getting this error code "Interface\Addons\Instant_Health\Instant_Health.lua:75:attempt to call a nil value" when Zuxana Model Citizen is enabled.
The error comes whenever I cast a heal or lose health. I haven't tested in raids yet or anything yet; it's just something that's cropped up now and I'm hoping someone can help with it please.
(If this needs to be moved to the Instant Health thread, please do so - with my apologies)

I just redid my UI. For the most part I like it, but I have 2 things bothering me still. First, i can't figure out how to get rid of the group number on my player frame. I'm using X Perl for unitframes.

I also want to clean up the map buttons. I've hidden every one I can (except mail and the finder, I want to keep them), but I still have others that I don't know how to hide. The buttons still showing are the Ace addon preferences, Itemrack, Bongos2, X Perl, NaturEnemy Castbar, Grim Reaper, and BugSack. ZOMG Buffs is also there but I'd like to keep it showing for the buff reminders.

Edit: I'd also like to get my target-of-target and target-of-target's-target buffs above the frame, but X Perl has the option greyed out. Any idea why, and how to fix it?

I realize that this question may sound stupid since I should be using Macros for all my spells. But humor my question. I'm using Bongos 2 for my UI. I no longer find the spell tooltip to be important and necessary and it often just visually gets in the way. Is it possible to remove all the spell tooltips with a few lines of code without using macros? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running Cowtip and I miss the function of the default tooltip to hover over raid members (from the raid frame) and see their current location. Any idea how to fix this? When I hover over a raid frame I get this weird box that says "Mouseover."

You can remove them without any mods even. Simply go into the wow game menu and fiddle with the tooltip options, there's an option to turn off elaborate tooltips I believe it was called, that gives you just the name of the spell, no more no less.

Not sure where or why this problem surfaced, even after I deleted my WTF and started with a new ui, but no matter what kind of tracking I have selected, it always shows humanoid tracking as well. As you can see in the image, I have fish tracking on, but it is definitly showing all the humanoids in the area too. Very annoying in cities and raids >.>

Any ideas?

Maybe you should try Chinchilla instead of SimpleMinimap (not sure if that will fix your problem).

Gearknight · 06/07/08, 11:49 AM

By any chance, did you just transfer servers? This reminds me of the two-aspects-at-once bug that occurs after transferring servers. The two-aspects bug is fixed when you die, but because tracking now persists through death, that probably won't work for you.

I actually did last week, however I have died quite a few times since

Have you played any arena matches since then? Zoning into an arena removes all buffs, including tracking, so you might want to try that.

Genius, that did the trick. Talked to a GM about it and it stumped them too.

Thanks a ton.

I have two questions that are really easy, and one that I just can't remember what the answer is.

1) When you make a FONTS folder in the WoW folder, the fonts will be listed under stuff like PitBull as usable now, right?
2) What is the slash command that tells you what UI element you have your mouse on?

1. No, they won't. Addons like PitBull access the SharedMedia library, not the Fonts folder.
2.

 /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() );

1) Then what is the Fonts folder for?
2) Thanks.

You can put fonts in there, and things like the "Send Mail"-textbox will change to it, or the zone PvP thing.
Everything that is being accessed by the Blizzard default UI changes font.

Paga · 06/08/08, 5:06 PM

How does it distinguish which fonts to use? I was using Hal's font folder and I liked it but I had no idea what was happening.

If you want to change a font, you simply take the file of the old font you want to change, rename it or delete it, then take the new font file, put it in the folder, and give it the name the old font had. If you're looking for a better way to change fonts all across your UI, you might want to give a font mod, like ClearFont2 a whirl.

Paga · 06/09/08, 4:27 AM

Oh, I use both but now I understand. Thanks!

Ah, thanks. Clearer answer.
