You can set Xperl to display raid mana, but it looks like crap. I just got Grid recently and I like it very much.

Crap indeed. heh. I got Grid installed and now I just have to figure out how to set it up with clique for decursing! So much cleaner than the XPerl raid.

I would recommend making a mouse-over decurse macro with grid. Makes it much easier then having to click each individuals name. I don't use clique so maybe its easier with that.

My background is a series of 4 panels. They are using some simple custom textures I made for myself and imported as targa (.tga) images through kgpanels. I am a graphics guy by trade so unless you are fairly handy in photoshop this might be a bit hard to pull off for some.

If you are going to do this for yourself there are a few tips I would give
1.Remeber to save your .tga with an alpha channel or you will not get any transparency.
2. Remeber that WoW will only see images saves in powers of 2 (256px by 512px is what I used for example).

This 2 part video can probably explain the importing process better than I could. It does not however explain the panel creation.

If there is interest I will try and get at least my panels up for download.

GL and happy modding.

Hi Sylgian. It would be nice if you could upload your panels somewhere. I've been working with kg for a few days now and yours are one of the nicest I've seen.

Sylgian · 05/28/09, 6:17 PM

Here are the 4 .tga's that make up my backdrop for those of you that are interested:
Sylgians Kgpanels Textures

Just drop the folder into your addons folder and use the following file path for the 4 panels when importing via kgpanels (changing the number 1-4 on the end of course)

\\Interface\\Addons\\Textures\\Panel 1.tga

I see a lot of people asking for addons to better keep track of their HS procs or similar information that is not easy to keep an eye on with standard buff and debuff bars/addons.
Personally, I solve this issue using Elkanos Buffbars. Simply create a new bar and use the filter (whitelist) option to only display the buffs/debuffs you want to see on this bar.

The bar directly above my player frame is where I have the most important information shown (i.e HS, Clearcast, Sanity, or other encounter specific information/debuffs).
This way you don't need extra addons like power auras to display such information and save system memory.

Is there an advantage to using Elkanos Buffbars? I notice you use Scorchio2, which can also track HS, etc. Could you drop Buffbars and just use Scorchio2 to save memory?

Personally I use a combination of Scorchio2 and PowerAuras and I'm not sure there is an ideal set of "buff" mods. But since this is the thread to discuss such minutia, I figured I'd ask.
