kgPanels

kgPanels, successor to eePanels. This mod allows you to place artwork in your UI. Please be sure to grab the config addon to be able to configure kgPanels. The menu is LOD so once created memory usage is minimal. This mod also allows you to attach scripts to events for each panel.

Unfortunately everytime I log in something like kgPanel6 will now be kgPanel7 and my linked frame is attached to another part of my UI- another panel that's become kgPanel6.

I'm going back and trying to link panels to addons instead, but I'm not sure what's going to happen to some linked to a mod like Grid that resizes itself...

to parent 1 kgpanel to another kgpanel you can just use teh kgPanel name you gave it. i.e. say you have 1 panel called 'MyFirstPanel' and you create a second panel, in the second panel you can set the parent to 'MyFirstPanel' kgPanels will automatically figure out the corrent real panel name and setup the parenting.

Just wondering how do it make the panel around my target's portrait disappear when i don't have a target selected. ie only show up if i target someone. has it got to do with anchoring? thx heaps!

Also can you pm me a zipped up copy of your kgPanels saved variables.

After two weeks trying to get it to work, I post something here and it just starts working. Must have been user error or something.

Thanks anyway!

If I zone, log, or do anything else that causes a loading bar, the 51st panel stops showing up in the UI again, but is still listed in the config. Change something again, and poof it shows up.

I'll see if I can throw together a screenshot play by play later today, using no other addons and just numbered default panels to illustrate cleanly and also eliminate the possibility of other addons causing conflict.

I'll see if I can't get away with removing some elsewhere.

edit: Is there any reason for the "more than 50 panels doesn't work" thing?

When it does the layout if the parent doesnt exist, it is set hidden till the parent is created, then resets the parent and it should share visibility with that parent.

It may be that I have too many panels (at least 40)..

I was thinking I could work around this by having an onload script do that 'refresh the panel' type thing, but looking at the script examples, I'm not sure how I could do that.

Any ideas?

Any help would be great, thanks!

Once you open up the kgPanels config screen, a new keybiding will be activated allowing you to hit the key and get the name of the frame under your mouse.
