Sunn's Viewport Art allows you to change the size of the rendered world area (viewport) and adds textured artwork in the non-rendered areas.

v3.1 Update: This addon no longer uses the fubar / minimap icon. Settings are now available in the standard Interface>Addons menu.

Usage

Use /sunnart (or /sunn or /sa) for options

Keybindings

Bind a key in the wow options to show/hide the UI and SunnArt graphics

Art Packs

Art packs are optional and should be installed as if they were separate addons (although they are useless without the SunnArt addon).

Extract the zipped folder into your interface/addons folder for it to function.

Previews of the artwork in the packs are available in the screenshots on this page.

Custom Artwork

It's not difficult to create your own artwork if you have the right tools:

Resize your artwork to 1536*256 (1536x512 for wider panels)
Divide your artwork into 3 similar sized panels, left, centre and right, each with dimensions 128, 256 or 512 (these are the only dimensions that WoW will support).
Save each panel as (or convert them to) Targa (.tga) format and place then in the Interface/Addons/SunnArt folder with the names custom1.tga, custom2.tga and custom3.tga.
Select "Custom" from the themes menu in the options in-game.

eg. the left panel should be called custom1.tga, the center panel called custom2.tga and the right panel called custom3.tga.

To set an overlap (for artwork containing transparency) please see the CustomTheme.lua file.

To add addition custom themes, please see the CustomTheme.lua file.

CustomTheme.lua should be opened in any plain text editor such as notepad.

Submitting Artwork

If you have artwork that you would like to submit for Art Pack 10 and onward, please mail it to sunnart@uksf.com and if I like it then I will include it in the next release.

Bornabe A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 54 File comments: 107 Uploads: 6	Awsome, thank you! I'm no artist, I can barely draw a visible circle... are there any plans for advanced Themes? Your addon is simply put... perfect. It's adjustable, themable... and simply a base for UI customizers to add in everything they want. Would be really amazing for an artist with some spare time to provide themes like as follows: 1 for each Race 1 fore each Class Or even the ability to have Racial backdrops and a possible class selectable graphic plug somewhere in those racial backdrops. I doubt anyone would pick that up to do it, but that would simply make my day for my many a Horde characters and wishing they all had the same UI setup, but with a different Theme to give some variety while playing them all. :-D Keep up the great work Sunn! This viewport is poifect!

Only the selected theme loads.

When you select a different theme, the addon effectively re-starts itself and loads only the selected theme.

The reason I did it this way is because the addon was originally just a Viewport with simple artwork instead of the black emptiness offered by other viewport addons. It turned out that the artwork was more desireable than the core function of the addon so I got lots of requests for more art to be added.

Seeing as the core addon has hardly changed at all from it's first incarnation it made sense to release new artwork as seperate addons rather than make everyone download it over and over again each time I added a new graphic.

Now, 5 artpacks later, the whole install is almost 40Mb and I'm sure that most people won't want all that bloat, because, let's face it, alot of the artwork is crap. Most of it was made at the request of the users and I personally use only the "Emblem" theme.
