Simple Runes Bar 

No bar appears, at all, only the default blizzard rune bar.

EDIT: Hmmm, never used this addon before but it was disabled in enabled addons window. It does work ^^

great addon i realy like it but sometimes the bars wont update :/

hmm how i say my english is realy bad :P

its not like in this picture if u use a spell like ice touch it doesnt fill the rune



not always but sometimes its buggy so u have to reload the ui

Please include a folder in your structure so that addon updaters work and so that users can simply unzip to the Interface\Addons\ folder.

Thanks for this mod, it's pretty much exactly what I was looking for!

Just to let you know, there's an error in the coloring code. I was trying to change the colors of the runes and found that the Unholy and Death rune labels were switched. Lines 54 and 56 specifically, the label that says RUNETYPE_DEATH affects the color of unholy runes and vice versa. Had me confused for quite a while!

If you could post a small tutorial on how to change the rune and background colors it would be much appreciated.

One more thing, I think I'm experiencing what the other guy was as well - after a while the runes don't disappear when you use an ability, it looks like all of your runes are always full. After reloading the UI it works fine again for a while. I'm not sure how long it takes for it to mess up or if there's a specific event that triggers it, I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I notice anything.

EDIT: I think I figured it out. It seems that over time, the transparency of the "empty" part of a rune becomes less and less, until eventually there is no transparency, so it looks like the runes are always full.

It's very simple. In the addon's folder you'll find a file called core.lua. Open it up in something like notepad. Then you can either scroll down, not too far, to the line that says "local runeColorsTable =" (line 51 if you have a text editor with line numbers), or you can do a ctrl+F to find it. Underneath this line should be four lines beginning with one that says "[RUNETYPE_BLOOD]" and followed by similar lines with names of the other runes. Each line corresponds to that type of rune, except that, as I mentioned before, the ones labeled as Death and Unholy are switched.

On each line you'll see r =, g =, and b =. Those stand for red blue and green. Change the values to whatever you like. The values should be between 0.0 and 1.0. Zero means there will be none of that color and 1.0 means there will be lots of that color. Higher numbers will be brighter than lower numbers. A pure red would be r=1.0, b=0.0, g=0.0. If you've never worked with RBG colors before it will probably take some practice to get what you want. I wanted a brighter green for my unholy runes, so the value I used was r=0.25, g=0.9, r=0.25 for your reference. Don't forget that the Unholy and Death rune labels are mixed up!

Have WoW open while you edit the file, then after you change a value, type in "/script ReloadUI();" and your changes should be in effect. Repeat until you get what you want.

Hope that helps.

Is it somehow possible to change the background color to black? Right now it's just a few shades darker then the rune color and fairly hard to differentiate with a quick glance.

i tested it and now with the new backround it works perfect

thank u for this great addon

Do you think you could add an option for spacing between the runes?
