Re: Border-Color

Hi!

Thanks alot for this great Addon! Used dominos t´ill now and was quite happy with it. But in the process of designing a lightweight UI i stumbled across m_ActionBars and i love em

But i have one tiny question:
How can i change the border of the buttons to white without changing the whole buttons to white and is there a way to make the borders a little less thick?

Thanks in advance!

all border colors can be set in cfg.lua:

Code:

  cfg.colors = {
       normal = {r =  0,	g =  0, 	b =  0	},
       pushed = {r =  1,	g =  1, 	b =  1	},
    highlight = {r =  .9,	g =  .8,	b =  .6	},
      checked = {r =  .9,	g =  .8,	b =  .6	},
   outofrange = {r =  .8,	g =  .3, 	b =  .2	},
    outofmana = {r =  .3,	g = .3, 	b =  .7	},
       usable = {r =  1,	g =  1, 	b =  1	},
     unusable = {r = .4,	g = .4, 	b = .4	}
  }

To modify texture thickness you got to change media\icon.tga overlay texture. There's plenty information about editing/creating .tga files on wowinterface forums.

fojji A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	Had a weird bug last night on the PTR, after the 50mb patch, the main bar one was just not showing anything at all, despite it having the exact same settings as the one on live, I couldn't get the bar to show up. It worked on the previous PTR build and it works on live just fine. Not sure if it's my end or the addons, anyone else experience this?

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind feedback, I appreciate it.

Mainbar does not react to "always show".

yeah well yes, it's a little complicated, thing is that I like exit vehicle button to be kind of embedded into my main bar, but if you have this 'always show' option enabled, the actual action bar and all its' buttons will always be visible (and clickable for that matter) and my exit vehicle button will be _behind_ those mainbar buttons therefore not clickable.
And I can not modify those secure buttons strata or frame's level as it will cause major taint issues.
So to fix this it's sort of hard coded that our mainbar buttons will always remain hidden if not used making it possible to click through them when it's needed.

To cut long story short, I'm aware of this small issue, but I don't really think it's affecting add-on performance or usability by a bit, so for now it's gonna stay that way.

P.S. there's a kind of dirty workaround to fix this: you could simply create a background frame for each of the existing mainbar buttons and then add overlay texture with proper OnEnter/Leave/Click scripts (pretty much like I did with 'fake' actionbars for raidmarks and flares). I'm not a fan of this kind of 'fixes', so I'm not going to implement it myself.

Code:

Again love the addon Monolit

this change is meaningless, you probably missed the part in change log where I stated:
[quote]
m_ActionBars: reworked the way TotemBar spawns, so now user has full controll of buttons (size, spacing)
m_ActionBars: new config section for totem bar in cfg.lua[/qupte]

so [1] refers to the INDEX in the cfg.config_totembar table withing cfg.lua, i.e.

Code:

  cfg.config_totembar = {	
	--[[enable timers:]] true,		--[[button size:]] 32,			--[[spacing between buttons:]] 8,	
	--[[disable bar:]] false,		--[[bar alpha:]] 1	
	}

so cfg.config_totembar[1] is pretty much 'link' to the first position in the table, which is '--[[enable timers:]] true'
