In that same thread, Phanx mentioned that we needed to change...
...to:
...under each frame's section in the core.lua file.


I made that change (and then chose either Power or Class depending on which frame needed which color) and all seems well. I'll be uploading my latest set of files right after I post this, so if you wanted to look through them they should be up there shortly. I should warn you that if you do try it out you may be thrown off-guard by some of the changes I made because last night I got a crazy idea to really try something new with my UI (specifically my action bars) and I'm in the middle of putting that in motion.

I mentioned to you before that oUF_Fail is your layout and I would never try to take any credit for anything in it. The changes I'm making are really just personal changes at this point because 1) I'm always trying to make my UI a little more unique than the next person's, and 2) I am finding that tinkering with this code, as basic as it may be, is addicting as hell.

I've wanted to get a video of the layout in action, but because I keep forgetting to turn off DBM for 5-man instances I end up getting spam all over the place. Hopefully I can piece most of this together tonight, remove any unnecessary add-ons which tend be cluttering up my screen, and then record a little test so that I can demonstrate what I'm trying to do with this.

Haha! If you want to throw in an "Inspired by MiRai" somewhere that'd be fine, but no more than that.

Yeah, that's fine. I almost wanted to look at giving users more control over the display of the arrows in the cfg.lua file because as it stands right now, the ToT, Pet, and Raid frames do not have arrows on them (or at least they shouldn't). Although, I guess it's not a big deal to just point people to the line of code in lib.lua that will let them adjust it manually.

Looking forward to this.


I'm still playing around with my crazy action bar layout and am having a fairly difficult time adjusting to it because I've been so damn used to having the same action bars for years and this change is really weird; but while typing out this post another idea hit me.

Sounds good. I'm definitely going to check this out in a bit. I'm also going to have to download a program that can compare code from separate files side-by-side to make it easier for me to keep my hacked up version while, at the same time, implementing your fixes/additions from the main layout.

It was actually the focus target castbar that had odd behavior. You had it turned off by default, but I uncommented the line in core.lua on my end and it just doesn't seem as fluid as the rest of the castbars. I'm not sure if this is just the default behavior of Blizzard's UI since I believe we're stuck waiting longer for the server to return the focus target cast information(?).

Oh, perfect. I figured just because you and I like the extra arrows, not everyone will.

I like the rep support in that pic and I'm going to have to definitely check this out right after I post this. I obviously haven't tried it out yet, but is it possible to somehow flip between the rep/xp bar? I currently use the rep/xp bar that's built-in with Dominos and I am able to flip between both my XP and the rep I'm tracking with either the left, right, or middle mouse button. Maybe even have an option to make it so that bar is hidden until you mouse over your player frame? Not sure if that falls into the scope of how you want that extra bar set up or how easily it would be to implement all of that.

Okay, I like this Rep/XP bar. Now that I've seen it, maybe just make the text show while hovering over the player frame? I'm going to look into how to do this, perhaps with the oUF equivalent of MouseIsOver.

As per this thread, it would seem I'm looking for "OnEnter" and "OnLeave".

This is just a test video of what I wanted to do with oUF_Fail and my action bars. I'm not sure it's going to work out as I had planned, but I'm waiting to see if it's possible to animate action bar buttons the same way I'm animating those Weak Aura icons in the video.

Hi i'm interested in your weak aura setting - would you mind to share them. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to share. The UI is being worked on on a daily basis so it's constantly changing. What you saw in that video was the result of having worked with Weak Auras maybe twice before that to setup very basic alerts. I was only following the same basic setup as before by just adding spells and adding the pre-defined conditions for show/hide.

If you need to learn how to use Weak Auras there are a handful of YouTube videos (a whole series by the same uploader), a forum, or you could just copy & paste Clampy's setup.

I finally just got a chance to check it out and I must say that this might be love at first sight.

I saw haste's reply in the thread earlier today, but I wasn't exactly sure what to do with that "OnValueChanged" and I wanted to see if you or I could figure it out before we went back to bother the gurus on the oUF forum. It's great that you saw that and were able to implement the change so quickly. I gave an attempt at fixing the color of the power text as well, but I got nothin'.
