LitePanels Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 40200.1

by: Katae [More]

LitePanels is a UI panel art framework aimed for use by both UI authors and advanced users. There is no in-game config. Configuration is done through editing a layout file. Complete documentation is provided in the layout file.

Copy layout_example.lua to layout.lua before use!

Special features:
» Quickly build modular, self-contained, easily sharable, fully customizable UI "panels". Complete with optional text objects and scripts.
» Full scripting capabilities!
» Built-in class coloring; Class Colors supported.
» Automatic panel to parent resizing with height and width percentages.
» Simple viewport functionality.

Enjoy.

Feel free to discuss this addon and/or share your own layouts, scripts, or show off your LitePanels UI in the LitePanels Layout Discussion thread. Please, however, use the addon comments page for bug reporting and feature requests.

- Panel borders can now be set to "SOLID" to create a pixel border.
- Panels with a % height/width will now resize based on its anchor_frame; parent secondary.
- New text attribute: outline - (1) thin outline, (2) thick outline. Setting an outline disables the default shadow effect, may be enabled manually.
- New text attribute: mono - True sets font's monochrome flag.

1.4.1 - 2009-08-17
- CreateFrame hook will load sooner, this should (hopefully) fix many problems with panels not being set to the right parent frame.
- The anchor_frame setting will now recognize existing panels as intended.

- Throttling variable created for OnUpdate scripts (self.elapsed)

1.3.1 - 2009-08-03

- Panels with parents that don't exist will now be attached to the parent when it's created.
- Text shadows will now default to 1. Set shadow to 0 to turn it off.
- New attribute: active_scale (off by default). Panels with a height or width percentage will automatically adjust themselves when the parent's height or width is changed. Usage: `active_scale = true`
- New attribute: inset (defaults to 0). Creates an inset on the panel. Usage: for all sides use `inset=5` or specific `inset={top=5,bottom=5}`. Negative values create a padding effect.

1.2 - 2009-07-08
- Full text object support added, see docs.

- A few code optimizations.

1.1a - 2009-06-30

It is still fully functioning in MoP. Just check "load out of date addons". There is nothing in LitePanels that would have broken.

I've extensively tested it, with multiple layouts.

Same with LiteStats... with the exception of "talents" module which if you turn it off in the config everything functions just fine.

Hi there!

I finished my left chat background and border. Now I want to continue making one for my right chat, but whener I start writing the code for the right chat background and border - They both disappear!

What am I missing?

Are you naming them differently?

Like this?

Code:

lpanels:CreateLayout("LeftChat", {
    -- Left Chat
    {   name = "LCBG",
        parent = "UIParent",
        anchor_to = "BOTTOMLEFT",
		x_off = 0,
        y_off = 0,
        width = 500,
        height = 200,
        bg_color = "0 0 0",
        bg_alpha = .5,
        level = 0,
		gradient = "HORIZONTAL",
		gradient_color = "0 0 0",
		gradient_alpha = 0,
    },
    -- ClassColored Border Top
    {   name = "LCTopBorder", parent = "LCBG", 
        anchor_to = "TOP",
		y_off = -1,  x_off = 0,
        width = 500, height = 1,
        bg_color = "CLASS", bg_alpha = 1,
		gradient = "HORIZONTAL", gradient_color = "CLASS",
		gradient_alpha = 0, level = 1,
    },
}) lpanels:ApplyLayout(nil, "LeftChat")

lpanels:CreateLayout("RightChat", {
    -- Left Chat
    {   name = "RCBG",
        parent = "UIParent",
        anchor_to = "BOTTOMRIGHT",
		x_off = 0,
        y_off = 0,
        width = 500,
        height = 200,
        bg_color = "0 0 0",
        bg_alpha = .5,
        level = 0,
		gradient = "HORIZONTAL",
		gradient_color = "0 0 0",
		gradient_alpha = 0,
    },
    -- ClassColored Border Top
    {   name = "RCTopBorder", parent = "RCBG", 
        anchor_to = "TOP",
		y_off = -1,  x_off = 0,
        width = 500, height = 1,
        bg_color = "CLASS", bg_alpha = 1,
		gradient = "HORIZONTAL", gradient_color = "CLASS",
		gradient_alpha = 0, level = 1,
    },
}) lpanels:ApplyLayout(nil, "RightChat")

Made one panel, making new.

Code:

lpanels:CreateLayout("LeftChat", {
    -- Left Chat
    {   name = "LCBG",
        parent = "UIParent",
        anchor_to = "BOTTOMLEFT",
		x_off = 0,
        y_off = 0,
        width = 500,
        height = 200,
        bg_color = "0 0 0",
        bg_alpha = .5,
        level = 0,
		gradient = "HORIZONTAL",
		gradient_color = "0 0 0",
		gradient_alpha = 0,
    },
    -- ClassColored Border Top
    {   name = "TopBorder", parent = "LCBG", 
        anchor_to = "TOP",
		y_off = -1,  x_off = 0,
        width = 500, height = 1,
        bg_color = "CLASS", bg_alpha = 1,
		gradient = "HORIZONTAL", gradient_color = "CLASS",
		gradient_alpha = 0, level = 1,
    },
}) lpanels:ApplyLayout(nil, "LeftChat")

Might be best to ask in the LitePanels forum post; I don't come around here often.

I don't know if you figured out the problem, but the issue is that you cannot set the configuration within a script. You'll have to code what you want to do with the Lua API.

For example,

self.text:SetText(UnitPower("player"))

OnEvent text display

I'm having a bit of an issue getting text to display in an OnEvent or OnUpdate function. This code should render a faded black box out of combat (good so far) with the text showing "testing" at the defaults (not showing). Combat recognition works (the panel goes opaque), but at no time is any text displayed.
Any idea what I'm missing here?

Code:

lpanels:CreateLayout("Death Knight", {
  {	-- extra Runic Power display
  name = "RunicPower", parent = "UIParent", anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_from = "CENTER", y_off = 100, width = 200, height = 100, level = 0,
  OnLoad = function(self)
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
    self:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")
  end,
  OnEvent = function(self)
    if UnitAffectingCombat("player") then
      self:SetAlpha(1.0)
      text = {
        font = "Interface\\AddOns\\ArkInventory\\Fonts\\zekton__.ttf", size = 24, color = "0, 0.5, 0.5",
        string = function(self)
          curPower = UnitPower("player")
          return curPower
        end,
      }
    else
      self:SetAlpha(0.5)
      text = {
        string = "testing"
      }
    end
  end,
  },
})

lpanels:ApplyLayout("n:katae", "Simple Viewport", "Chat Background")

Thanks for clarifying. Worked like a charm!

I thought there would be some panels for me to tweak or play with my text editor, but nothing shows up. I check to see if addon was loaded and it showing up on addon list. Is there something extra I am suppose to do to the example to make it work? besides changing the name to layout.lua? __________________
