Thank you, that's great ! (I was searching much further back in this thread)
I'm currently using morgantis, I haven't used EBB since vanilla wow; I'll try this tonight.

Maybe it's too early to ask this, but you never know. Does anyone know of any addon that works with the WotLK beta? (beside the lonely 6 on wowinterface)
I'm interested mainly in unitframes, action bars, clickcasting, inventory management.
I'll start testing myself as soon as the client finishes downloading, but I'd rather have some of the essentials ready.

Thanks.

You're going to probably have to wait for the addon authors to get over there.. some of them are and some of them are not yet. They can't update/fix, etc their addons until they're in beta themselves.

Personally I know of none yet, but keep checking, and more importantly give it a little time. Open beta just started

I'm trying to figure out an easier way to add fonts to use in my Addons (pitbull, tiptac, etc.)
The only way I've found so far is to change the name of the font file I'm installing to one that's already there (in the SharedMedia->Fonts folder), and then pasting it over the one that already exists.

Is there I way I can just ADD a font to the list?

Check out this thread, and reply #3 there, it should help you out.

Question: How to add textures and fonts in PitBull?

Use the SharedMedia MyMedia feature, there's a readme for it in the sharedmedia folder

I had to reinstall WoW and now I have problem with Sct (or at least thats the prob). Before it showed my heals over my head with the name I healed and also showed who healed me. Now when I heal it shows healing on top of the healed one's instead of mine and no names. I've tried everything but nothing works.

edit: Fixed, carry on

I can't see any difference sorry. Your JPEG quality is so bad, that we wouldn't be able to see any blur other than what the JPEG causes.

Repost in (real) PNG or TGA please.

its not easy to see in any format but its wery clear in-game
if u look at the color at the borders.....btw the mana and hp bar for example compared to the target frame

Beezie · 07/27/08, 10:32 AM

dubble post sorry

windcape · 07/27/08, 10:34 AM

Most likely it's the "Highlight" option and the "Combat Fader" that plays in. Try mess with those.

Beezie · 07/27/08, 11:05 AM

thanks for the reply
it would seem that the collors are crashing and making the frame blurry with some of the sizes on the unit i had to scale it down by 2-3% its perfect now

Here is my UI now

I like the xperls because it gives me a target of the guys in my party. I was wondering if there was a way for like, 10 man raids, to get a whole column of nothing but that. In other words, to get a whole column of 10 people for the xperls party UI.

Thanks in advance~

My UI is a mess at present - error spam from my macros on the top of my DBM timers, X-perl with raid and party frames showing at once and taking up lots of space on the left, and my cast bar at the bottom well away from the enemy stuff up the top, and my focus taking up space below the enemy. Then there's the 5 rows of Bongos buttons, most of which are hotkeyed anyway but some of which I need to see timers for, and the Ora2 stuff slap bang in the middle... GAH!

What I want to get to is pretty much what I see in a lot of screenshots - most of the UI down the bottom of the screen, lots of space elsewhere, and the most pertinent info close together. The other main requirements would be:

- Focus shown so I can see whether it's free/sheeped/dead.
- My own buffs/debuffs and my targets very clear.
- Raid frames OR party frames showing clearly when someone is cursed.

Can I acheive this with my current core X-perl/Bongos2 setup, or do I need to start from scratch using Grid? What are the core addons of a tidy raiding UI?
