ShinyBuffs Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0.3

by: Seerah [More]

Reset your saved variables please, if upgrading from version 0.1.

Features:

skin buffs/debuffs
move buffs/debuffs
change colors, texures, and font
able to use class colors (with support for !ClassColors and CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS)
change size of buffs/debuffs independently
debuff icons are shaded by debuff type (temporary enchant icons shaded tench color, too)
change the number of buffs per row
able to switch to all white duration text
option to show who your buff is from (only works with valid unitIDs, not some random passerby or guildie not in your party)

See the screenshots for some examples!

Limitations:
These are just the regular, old Blizzard buffs - but prettier! As such, you CAN cancel buffs during combat! However, you cannot rearrange the buffs, filter buffs, etc. The buffs/debuffs are also not movable independently - it's the standard layout, though you can change their sizes to make debuffs more visible in addition to changing where they're all anchored.

Also, the timer bar does not currently move for temporary enchants - it stays at 1. I may figure out a way to put that in in the future, but the API for temporary enchants isn't as friendly as that for normal buffs.

Really nice add-on, I like the look of it a lot.

My only question is - is there any chance in the future that you can make the debuff window separate from the buff window so it can be moved? Would make this buff add-on pretty much perfect.

Ditto for the temporary weapon enchant. Having it grouped up with the buffs is messing with the spacing.

Sorry I missed this. You posted while I was out of town. Didn't even notice it. (This is another reason why I always request that bug reports go to my portal.

)

It seems that wowprogramming.com is out of date on this. Found the updated API and should have it corrected in the next version.

BTW, sry for my poor english writing.

I'm pretty sure that I was able to cancel buffs in combat the last time I tried. Did you try with all other addons disabled?

No, it's entirely possible to move them to the top left. There are only the limitations to consider, as stated in the addon description.

As a side note, in case the notifications don't work properly (I know I've had issues with them before) I've posted a bug report for an error. It appears to only occur when "mounted" and you receive a debuff, details in the bug report.

Trying v0.2 (deleted saved variables from 0.1 before logging on), nice improvements. Except for one thing.

The buff font is consistently overlapping the status bar on all buffs with both of them showing, making the bar very difficult to see. Doesn't matter how small you make the buff font, it still overlaps either all or a portion (if you set the font to a minimum invisible size of 6) of the status bars.

Only when you make the buff frame size an unusable (on smaller UI resolutions) 50 or larger does the font/bar overlapping stop being a problem.

Hope this can be fixed.

The duration text is supposed to overlap a touch. With the various fonts that I have tried, at default settings (even with the font shadows), I can see the bar fine. Perhaps try a different font (some have the numbers set below the letters) or a different font size? I have some changes coming in the future with regards to the text.

It's no biggie if it's not possible. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

That's part of what's listed in the description under "Limitations".
