Alright.. So should I delete all the saved variables except the ones listed?.. So like the screen resolution is set back to default, so I can mess around with it? Or would that not affect anything.. Basically, how would I go about tweaking the the UI to fit my resolution?

I'm having soume trouble with my eepanels2 + ChatFrame3. I use prat, and have set the text in ChatFrame3 to fade away after 1min if there is no new message incoming. My ChatFrame3 is for whispers, raid, party and my guilds healing channel if this has anything to do with it.
The problem obviously is that when the text in the chatframe fades away the eepanel does not. And I only want the eepanel to be visible when there is text visible in the chatframe. I have the eepanel parented and anchored to ChatFrame3.

Any help would be appreciated.

It depends.. How much do you know about addons? How many do you know from the pack? Do you want to save some of your own settings from the addons you're already using (assuming some of them are the same as the ones in the pack)?

No matter what you should save a backup of the WTF and Interface folder before you begin. Look through the list of addons Caith is using - "what do I need from it?" Google any addon you don't know. Slowly start copying over addons+savedvariables you want and check it out ingame.
Download Align and /align ingame - it'll help you align (how odd) every element of your UI. If you don't know eePanels2 I suggest you get to know it really well and/or backup it's savedvariables often - you will screw something up along the way.

Cheers mate. Been tweaking the UI ever since your last post. Almost there, so close! You've been a great help. And I will try to remember that tip

Question; Do you know what resolution Caith's UI is? Cheers if you do.

Hello all,

I have been trying to figure this one out for a while now, and am ashamed to admit that I haven't gotten anywhere with it.
This is my UI: http://xs224.xs.to/xs224/08076/ui2_16962.jpg

While I am happy with it, I would very much like my CyCircled skin on both my Bongos action bars and Buffalo player buffs to be that of: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6...7152757ll5.jpg
Specifically, the border of his action buttons, i.e. the thick grey border.
While I have been told that CyCircled does this, I cannot find the skin for it. I've tried all of them I can find on WoWInterface and the WoWAceUpdater. Any help in this would be appreciated!

Also, in reference to the font changing discussion above, I used to have my floating name text fonts changed to something custom, but not too long ago they reverted to the default font and I don't know why. I have the WoW/Fonts directory and while that does change the login fonts, the floating name text remains the default.

I've just updated all of my addons using WAU, and for some reason Autobar has vanished, and Cycircled isn't working with Bartender3 anymore - does anybody have the same problem?

I am not sure what your old version of autobar is. But autobar had gone into some serious recode quite a while ago.

Cycircled still works with Bartender3 on my copy. Make sure you updated your addons with "with internal".

I'm not sure where a question like this should go, but I'll ask it here.

So, I would really love to try out Caith's UI 10.4 (Bellum Forum :: Thema anzeigen - Caith UI [20.01.2008]), but he runs it in 1680x1050 resolution, and has said that he will not support any others; you'd have to resize it yourself. Well, I gave a stab at it, and between the massive amounts of EEpanels and whatnot I gave up. I'd still like to use it though, so my question is...does anyone know of an uploaded resized version of it? (Or run with one?)

I'm unsure what Autobar version it is - I used the latest Tapestry UI as a starting point when redesigning a week or so ago.

Bugsack has quite a few errors for it, all variations of:

[2008/02/17 02:35:14-760-x1]: AutoBar\AutoBarButton.lua:11: attempt to index local 'AutoBar' (a nil value)
I updated with externals, but i'll delete both bartender and autobar (including the files in the WTF folder) and reinstall from scratch tomorrow.

If you don't have the Fonts folder you can either create it yourself or copy from an UI pack that has it.
I've been trying to change the unit name font for a while and this doesn't work for me. I've tried changing the /Fonts folder fonts and using addons like Clearfont2 but the player/NPC name font is still the Blizzard default (and fairly unreadable past 10 feet).

I know I've seen screenshots of people's UI where it worked, so does anyone know exactly how to do this?

What fonts did you change? Where was your folder located?

Strange!

mm ..we're you using Clearfont at the same time? And are you sure FRIZQT is the "over head" font?
