    BetterBlizzardButtonBorder

    Version: 1.1.3
    by: Aprikot [More]

    * Version 1.1.3

    • Extra fix for extra ExtraActionButton error
    * AddOn Description
    Designed for use with the default UI, BBBB is an AddOn that attempts to present the "true" identity of Blizzard's existing button border texture (UI-Quickslot2) by changing the parameters of its in-game presentation.



    Code:
    -- Config
local tr, tg, tb, ta = 1, 1, 1, 1 -- top color
local br, bg, bb, ba = .2, .2, .2, 1 -- bottom color
local auraborder = true -- make & color aura borders

    * A Note On Colors
    WoW uses 0-1 decimal RGB values to define color instead of the more common 0-255 RGB values. A regular 0-255 color can be converted to WoW's format by dividing each channel value by 255.

    As an example, for the color Cyan (RGB 0, 255, 255), each color channel divided by 255 would return 0, 1, 1. For the Paladin class color (RGB 245, 140, 186), each color channel divided by 255 would return .96, .55, .73.

    Alternately, the actual division can be made to occur within an AddOn's Lua code. The two functions below would produce the same color.

    Code:
    SetVertexColor(.96, .55, .73)
SetVertexColor(245/255, 140/255, 186/255)

    For assistance in choosing RGB values, a quick web search for something like "rgb color pickers" will return several useful online utilities.

    * Thanks & Credit
    Thanks to Neal & thek for ideas & code contained in portions of nMainbar & thek: Buttonskin.

    * Version 1.1.3
    • Extra fix for extra ExtraActionButton error

    * Version 1.1.2
    • Fix for ExtraActionButton error
    • ToC update to 4.3

    * Version 1.1.1
    • Code simplified to dramatically reduce memory usage (runs at 10-20 KB in testing).
    • FacePaint support removed temporarily until a better approach can be developed. (Colors can still be set manually atop the .lua file.

    Combat in general? What character class and addons are you using when this happens. I'll try to reproduce.

    Shapeshifting seems to send this addon from 10 KB to 2.5 MB mem use , but then it settles back down...not sure why yet. Not seeing any growth during combat though.

    I'd be curious how your FPS performs with nothing enabled but BBBB (not that I expect anyone to play like that ). I'm testing with TullaRange at the moment.

    Question though, If I decide to download/use Bartender, will FacePaint and this still work with it by chance?

    I like the preset of 3 Bars tall that buttonfacade has to be honest, and not the entire bag/macro right side wow had.

    BBBB should work with Bartender (I'd need to test), and FacePaint should always work with BBBB. (should )

    I took a quick look at BT code, and see its actually hiding everything BBBBorder & FacePaint look for . I hadn't realized BT was from scratch. Oh well.

    As for other bar AddOns, ones that use Blizzard objects (Neal's & thek's come to mind) are generally compatible, however these do their own button styling too (hooking ActionButton_Update) which conflicts with BetterBlizBBBBB ugh maybe I should rename this.

    I should've said disabled via renaming nMainbar_ButtonSkins.lua. Glad it's working.

    thek's bar addon actually doesn't mess with button styling, I misspoke...
