I searched but was unable to find the solution to my problem so here goes:

About a week ago I decided to do daily update of my addons via WAU, which of course update Pitbull. My problem is that all my Frame textures have no disappeared to leave me with the "Blizzard" one. I used to have many others such as BantoBar.
Strangely enough, my 2nd account (which I use with a different client but on the same computer) which didn't have some textures has now gotten a few I didn't have before (but not all)... Does anyone know where the Pitbull texture file is located? Perhaps I could try modifying that one and find my good old BantoBar texture back.

Thanks.

Anyone know of a fix for it? Or an alternate mod to track scorch debuffs?
Hi, I'm the author of Scorchio! I took a six month sabbatical from WoW recently, and patch 2.4 totally killed my AddOn! Thanks to various people (including, on here, RoboStac), it was kept limping along, but now it's back, as good as ever. The lastest builds on files.wowace.com should work absolutely fine, and don't worry - I intend to continue support and development for Scorchio! from hereon in!

Hello,

I am a holy paladin. I used to heal with healbot and mouseover macros for HL and FoL.

I recently dropped healbot for grid. My mouseover macros dont seem to work with grid. Does anyone know why? Or how I can get them to work.

Thanks in advance.

Cleaning things up

I'd like any quick tips on what to look into with regards to optimizing or cleaing up my UI. I keep looking at the mods running and thinking "I really wouldn't want to do without the information this gives, the task this performs, etc", but perhaps there are some slick ways to streamline my UI without losing functionality I haven't considered.

For my role, I am a prot pally tank in early tier 6 content at the moment, and that should give an idea what information I need at my fingertips. Additionally, I of course heal on some raid encounters and PVP as retribution spec here and there.



The largest visible elements on my screen are:

Bongos - I have over 30 hotkeys (10+ I can hit with my left hand in normal type position, shift-versions, alt-versions, with my mouse thumb button set to act like alt- so I can hotkey everything without taking my right hand off the mouse) - hence the huge number of visible buttons.

Omen.
Chatter (chat box).
Violation (until Assessment is reborn).
SimpleMiniMap (I think).
Grid.
Elk's to show buffs/debuffs.
DotTimer for cooldowns and judgement durations.
Pitbull, slightly modified, for my unit frames.
CowTip for the tooltip.

The biggest thing that sticks out to me are the buffs. Changing them to just an icon would clean up your screen.

If you know all your hotkeys by heart, you can hide them and just use a cooldown mod like Hourglass to keep track of cooldowns. Also, you probably don't need recount visible all of the time -- just hide and show it using its fubar button.

The chat window is also really large. Do you need to have that many lines of text shown at once? You can always create another chat frame with the spammy stuff (loot, rep/honor/xp, item creation, etc) and just tuck it behind the main chat tab. I rarely care that 24 people have looted a badge of justice.

First. I'd scrap that buff addon and get something that only shows icons while being configurable at the same time. I'd recommend Satrina's Buff Frames for buff displaying. (Get it from Wowinterface)

Second. As a prot pally you don't really need to see who's doing the most damage. I'd turn off the damage meter window entirely. (Fx. I'm a holy priest and I don't even have a damage meter addon.)

Third. You could probably stand cutting the chat frame into half. It's simply too big.

Fourth. Clean up those action bars! What I like to do is keep my main spells on bar nr. 1, secondary spells on bar nr. 2 (damage spells in my case) and then the rest goes on sized down bars on the sides (spells I use a. infrequently such as mind vision or b. mostly out of combat such as buffs)

Fifth. Size down the minimap and move it to the lower right corner and move Omen above that, and then make Omen's background see through so you gain screen space when you're out of combat.

My UI can be seen here:

Fullsize

Thanks for all the great feedback so far. It all seems so clear when folks say it.

If I completely hide the bar in Bongos, will the hotkey still work? I had assumed that the hotkeys wouldn't work unless the bar is shown and clickable.

I wouldn't need more than a couple of small rows of buttons visible if I can hide the rest.

As long as you don't _disable_ the bar, the hotkeys should work with the bar hidden.
