I would suggest looking into Fontain, it is simple and effective to use. You can use it to change the whole UI's font, or pick and choose what you wish. Fontain can be found at Curse.com. Or, Vranx shows how to change fonts as well at this link: Vranx UI - Font Mods

Two easy to read fonts that you might want to check out are Expressway Free or Blue Highway D. Both are easy to read and look nice over all.

Okay this might be a bigger favor, then actually help.

But here goes, i simply lack the creativity to make my own good looking UI, and believe me ive tried.
So ive lived off other generosity.

Ive recently bought a new computer & monitor, wich is a 26" screen with a resolution of 1920x1200.
Ive been looking everywhere for a healer UI.

So i was wondering if any of you out there could point me in the direction of one. Or would have the time to build me one

I would be willing to pay a small fee for it.

I play a disc priest and im MT healer.

Im looking for something like this, just in 1920x1200 resolution, so i get some more space. And with Omen in the bottom. So i get a clean screen on top allthough with raid warnings there.

I would be so gratefull if someone could help me out here. And im willing to pay around 20 euro or so.

Best regards

I'm currently looking for mod to help me as raid leader to check if people are assisting properly the person who is set as main assist. The problem wouldn't exist if it was me as main assist couse than i could use xpearl assist box but it cant track whether people assist other person in the raid properly. Thx in advance.

You could use RaidTargetList. The way it could work is such: since it shows all the available targets, and lists how many people are targeting each, no target should have more than 1 consistently unless it is the kill target. It may have 0 because an OT is multi-tanking and doesn't currently have that mob targeted. But if it has more than one and it isn't the proper kill target, you know someone isn't targeting the correct mob. At present I do not believe it shows whom is targeting said mob. But that can be corrected with one of the plethora of tooltip mods (i.e. Cowtip, TinyTip, TipTac, et cetera). I know quite a few have the ability of showing whom is targeting the tooltip'ed mob.

Cheers.

I've seen a lot of people use WWS (wow web stats - Wow Web Stats) for a detailed breakdown of the fight and their DPS as well as other raid members. I'm sort of confused on how to get it working. I downloaded the client and made an account on that website, but i don't understand where the combat log is and how would I upload it. Does the client automatically create one.

I've read the "HELP" on their website but it doesn't give a detailed description on uploading a combat log.

One mod to see who's targetting what is TargetCheck. That might be close to what you're looking for too.

No, WWS will not create combat logs: that is something the user does by either using the /LoggingCombat command in the chat frame or using a mod such as LoggerHead.

A file titled WoWCombatLog.txt will be created in:

1) Vista: C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Logs

2) XP: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Logs.

And no, I'm not sure how to upload the logs: our guild switched from WWS to StasisCL last year.

Cheers.

Not looking for hand-holding, just suggestions. But tyvm, never thought about looking at compilations b4. Sorry if my question was too broad, I like to cover my bases - sometimes a little too much. LOL

Currently using following add-ons to keep track of buffs/debuffs for raiding.

- ClassTimer, used to track my debuffs on the target, and mend pet. I like the bar display of debuffs and the player/target/pet/focus functionality, however, I do not like having player/target/pet in parentheses on the bars (thats what anchors are for). Also, ClassTimer seems to miss Call of the Wild, and I am unable to add it under extras.

- KHunterTimers, mostly used to show who the misdirection is on, and to track trap status (primed/aura/who is trapped). Really like seeing who is trapped, and for how long without having to target them, same goes for misdirection.

- SatrinaBuffFrame, currently using to show my raid buffs, debuffs, and important buffs on top of my frame.

I am basically looking for suggestions for an alternative to ClassTimer with similar functionality, and maybe a bit more customizable. Or any other suggestions as to what I can change to make my buffs/debuffs look better. I really like having a uniform look to my UI,my bars, my buttons etc and having three mods with different bars for buffs/debuffs makes my UI look incomplete. I want my buffs/debuffs to be on top and on the bottom of my Unitframes, respectively, and I want to keep the "bar" look while keeping all the bars looking the same.

Here is what the UI looks like:

Thanks for the help.

Hello, does anyone know if there is a border texture for ButtonFacade ThinSquare that can be used in other addons like kgPanels and Quartz?

Alexandre · 03/16/09, 4:15 PM

Hi, so basically here is my UI i'm pretty proud about it even though i just took insiparation everywhere (Lyn, Wimpface etc).
I just need one final thing (until the next thing come up

).

Here is my UI.

I just want to change my warlock healthbar pet color. Maybe i didn't search/did well but i can't do it.

My unit frame are oUF_Fleetfoot who are themself based on oUF_Lyn. He added the debuff sorting on target (<3). I tweaked a little the .lua but i didn't find the pet color.

Will you help me ?
Thanks.

PS: I'm french sorry for the spelling.

Trevear · 03/16/09, 4:48 PM

I assume you mean the color of the Pet healthbar. If "Yes", then the answer is that that functionality is handled by oUF (i.e. not the layout) and the file is oUF\Elements\Health.LUA.

You can see within oUF_Fleetfoot that they specify some attributes for the healthbar:

	--
	-- healthbar functions
	--
	self.Health.colorTapping = true
	self.Health.colorDisconnected = true
	self.Health.colorClass = true
	self.Health.colorReaction = true
	self.Health.frequentUpdates = true
	self.PostUpdateHealth = PostUpdateHealth

These are for all frames unless changed within the definition of specific frames (i.e. Player, Target, Pet, et cetera). Specifically, within the Pet definition of frames there is this code:

		if(playerClass == "HUNTER") then
			self.Health.colorReaction = false
			self.Health.colorClass = false
			self.Health.colorHappiness = true
		end

Now you could something similar but with Warlock. The way I would go about it such:

		if(playerClass == "WARLOCK") then
			self.Health.colorReaction = false
			self.Health.colorClass = false
			self.Health.colorHappiness = false
                        self.Health.colorHealth = false
                        r = INSERT A NUMBER HERE
                        g = INSERT A NUMBER HERE
                        b = INSERT A NUMBER HERE 
                        self.SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b)
		end

Where the "INSERT A NUMBER HERE" are numbers based upon the RGB color scale.

In essence what you are doing is telling the Health element within oUF not to change the color and therefore you must set a color or it will simply use the default color of the statusbar used (which I believe is black: I don't have a .tga viewer on this laptop).

That should work.

Cheers.

Alexandre · 03/16/09, 7:01 PM

Thank you Trevear for this quick answer and all the explaining that i think i understood.

But like you said it "should had" work. I got this error when doing the change.

Here is the code. That's some random values I tried.

if(playerClass == "WARLOCK") then
self.Health.colorReaction = false
self.Health.colorClass = false
self.Health.colorHappiness = false
self.Health.colorHealth = false
r = .27
g = .59
b = .36
self.SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b)
end

Don't slap me.

Oh and if you haven't already stumbled onto it, there is a great oUF layout discussion found here.

Alexandre · 03/16/09, 8:40 PM

I guess i should have seen that too. But it worked !!!.
Again, a quick answer thanks. I'll go see the thread to see what's going on there.

Now i just have too find the right color.

Hi, somewhere along the way my UI drop down menu got messed up. The error is something like: Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua line ###, but I can't seem to find the file anywhere to see if I can manually repair it. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Riposte · 03/17/09, 11:28 PM

Hey it's me and my oUF problem again.

Now that i manage to change the pet health bar color thanks to you maybe you will help me with another problem.
Maybe it's linked but since i changed the color liked you said every time i dismount my pet health bar color turns grey.
The only time it turn back to normal is with a reload ui. Even re-summoning it doesn't work.

Here is some screen.

Normal

Bug

I try to search in the wow interface thread with no luck.

Thank you.

EDIT: I noticed that even if my pet isn't summoned when i mount/dismount and summone him the bug is here too.

And since i'm on the subject here is an another question. How can i make the "background healthbar" of my pet, the same color as all the other UF wich are the same color but darker.

Shot

Tell me if i ask too much.

Are you using any addon which is monitering your Ui-scale?
I've had the same problem with the addon "aSettings" from ALZA's UI, by disabling the UI scale with just setting "--" before it.

Sylvara · 03/18/09, 2:53 PM

Hi,
I'm new to kgPanels and creating/editing artwork (in photoshop) and I'm having a little bit of trouble. Whenever I upload artwork to kgPanels I get the artwork, but I big white annoying background too. I've tried making it transparent but I've had no luck.
I'm following these steps found here
How to Create a Transparent Background in Photoshop

If it may help, this what I'm uploading (planning on using it as a border to hold my minimap) and trying to get rid of the white background.
