Dash

Version: Beta-r205

by: Kyahx [More]

* This is a beta-quality AddOn and may contain bugs / missing features *

Dash adds an extra "widget" layer to your Warcraft 'desktop', similar to the Dashboard feature of OSX. You can place infrequently used frames (Damage Meters, Quest Tracker, Chat Frames, etc...) onto this layer to still have quick access to the information without taking up precious normal screen-space.

The dashboard can be toggled via a key binding, or by moving your mouse into the top-right corner of your screen (I plan to add the option to toggle this hotspot, as well as enable different corners)

Dash Slash Commands:
/dash
- add <frame>: Add the specified frame to your dash (This can be a name such as 'ChatFrame2' or a lua namespace such as 'Violation.windows[1].frame')
- addmouse: adds the frame currently under the mouse cursor to the dash (note this only withs with frames that have names)
- remove <frame>: Removes the specified frame from the dash, this may require a ReloadUI depending on the frame
- list: List the frames that are on the dash.
- clear: Remove all frames from your dash (Again, this may require a ReloadUI)

--Changelog--
r205: Fixed a small profile error when choosing not to add a protected frame

One question - how does it fare performance wise if you access the "dash" in combat or in highly populated areas? (I'll have to play with this later when I get a chance...) __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Basically, all it's doing is re-parenting the frames and setting the strata level. This should be relatively inexpensive, all thou I admit I haven't done much profiling

souja A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	This is brilliant. Some suggestions: Possibility of link the toggle to in/out combat status? I'm thinking of putting Omen/Recount on the Dash and having it pop in and out when I enter and leave combat. Option to change opacity/color of the Dash layer. Multiple Dash's?

It is protected and I wanted to click no... Code: [2007/07/27 00:01:07-1670-x6]: Dash\Dashboard.lua:177: attempt to index field 'profile' (a nil value)

Although, i do notice the dash seems to trigger itself at times...probably just an initial bug but letting you know. Keep up the awesome work! edit: it seems to trigger the dash when i mouseover the top right corner of my screen, mods occupying this space are fubar & clock fu.

Dash Description
The dashboard can be toggled via a key binding, or by moving your mouse into the top-right corner of your screen (I plan to add the option to toggle this hotspot, as well as enable different corners)

Is not bug, is feature!

As far as in/out of combat events, I have no plans to add them. I don't personally see it being useful and I'd like to keep everything as simple as possible. IIRC mods like Omen already have show/hide on combat options anyways (or at least they should

)

Customization options are planned (color, opacity, hotspot corners). I also plan to look into multiple Dashboards once I get a single frame nailed down and bug free, but thats farther out.

Sota A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Where can I send you a yacht? I've wanted a good way to hide the chat frame for 2 years, and this is better than what I wanted. I can use a macro to mimic adding frames by "clicking". How about allowing removal from the dashboard in the same manner as addmouse? ("removemouse"?) Last edited by Sota : 08-03-07 at 10:17 AM.

Ev_ An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 37 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	This is a brilliant idea for a mod, and I just started trying it out. I put my monkeyquest frame on Dash, and noticed that the "Quest Item" counter that MQ adds to tooltips no longer updates until I pop open Dash. It's like putting the frame on Dash prevents MQ from firing the event that updates the tooltip. Thinking about how you built Dash, is it logical that something like this would happen, or is this unexpected?

Hikoko A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Hi Kyahx and Thanks for your great mod I've been wondering if you could possibily add a feature like /dash listall in order to see all the active frame and choose wich one i want to add to my dashboard ^^ My probleme is I can't add frame like Ora CoolDown & Resurection Monitor (seems like dash don't find the frame when /dash listmouse :'( ) or the different frame from XLootMonitor... Anyone could possibily tell me if you succeded in adding those frame to your dash? Anyway great mod, keep it going
