LitePanels Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

LitePanels is, in essence, a UI panel art framework aimed for use by both UI authors and normal users. It was created to be a solid, lightweight alternative to kgPanels.

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:
» Minimal code; low memory usage
» Easy to create and share layouts
» Multiple text objects per panel
» Built-in class coloring
» Automatic panel/parent resizing
» Viewport functionality

Enjoy.

Feel free to discuss this addon or share your own layouts and scripts in the LitePanels Layout Discussion thread.

Change Log - LitePanels

1.5.1 -- 2009-11-11
- Error handling added for invalid fonts.

1.5a -- 2009-10-11
- Fixed pre-1.5 backwards compatibility.

1.5 -- 2009-10-07
- Plugin-like support added.
- New profiles system, see included example layout for info. Although old layouts will continue to work, it is advised that old layouts are converted to the new system.
- 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.
- Misc bug fixes and optimizations.

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.
- Added support for Class Colors by Phanx.

1.4 -- 2009-08-10
- Changed supplied layout filename to layout_example.lua.
- Border support added. See documentation for syntax.
- Percentage width/height rescaling is now on by default, attribute is obsolete.
- Throttling variable created for OnUpdate scripts (self.elapsed)
- Text object references will now be sent through to their string function.
- Layout "character - realm" names are no longer case-sensitive.
- New attribute: anchor_frame (defaults to parent). Sets the panel anchor frame if you'd like to anchor a panel to a frame other than parent while keeping parent's visibility, scale, alpha, etc.
- New script handlers: OnResize, OnDoubleClick, OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp

1.3.2 -- 2009-08-04
- TOC updated to 3.2

1.3.1 -- 2009-08-03
- Fixed a bug with texture rotate.
- Changed attribute 'active_scale' to 'resize'.
- Added missing attribute 'scale' to documentation.

1.3 -- 2009-08-01
- Super duper code optimizations.
- The default value for bg_alpha will no longer be set to 0.0 when tex_file has a value.
- Function text object panels will now correctly adjust its height and width when changed.
- 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.
- Changed default profile to always load.
- A few code optimizations.

1.1a -- 2009-06-30
- DK class coloring fixed.

1.1 -- 2009-06-30
- Complete overhaul. Many layout modifications, your old layout will not work without some changes (see documentation).
- Viewport, gradients, and texture art support added.
- Player class color panel setting added.
- User scripting support.
- Better parent handling with other panels.
- May now use height or width as a percentage in reference to its parent frame.

1.0a -- 2009-06-02
- Suppressed "LPanels" error when the variable doesn't exist (when layout file is still layout.lua.txt)

1.0 -- 2009-06-02
- Initial release.

Keep in mind that the texts will now inherit parent scale, alpha, and visibility.

After these changes appeared a small problem from other users in Shestak UI. See comments(screenshots).
Problem in: strata = "HIGH", level = 99,

My modules on the panel - Friends/Guild/Durability/....
Code Guild module:

Code:

Guild = {
enabled = true,
fmt = class"G:".."%d/%d", 
maxguild = nil, 
threshold = 1, 
sorting = "class", 
anchor_frame = "Friends", anchor_to = "left", anchor_from = "right",
x_off = 5, y_off = 0, tip_anchor = "ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT", tip_x = 0, tip_y = 0
},

upd:

Thank you, all done as you suggested. Everything turned out as I wanted.
But came a moment. If I put the cursor on the panel, its response in line with our change, but if not taking the cursor to the panel to move it to the text of Statistics (any), the panel disappears along with the text. Ie it turns out that the text of statistics is not one with the panel. I hope you understand my English.

In LitePanels:

Code:

{   name = "BoxL",
    anchor_to = "TOP",
    width = 240, height = 20,
    x_off = -240/2, y_off = -10,
    gradient = "H",
    bg_color = "CLASS", gradient_color = "CLASS",
    bg_alpha = 0, gradient_alpha = 0.2,
    OnLoad=function(self)
    self:SetAlpha(0)
    end,
    OnEnter=function(self)
    self:SetAlpha(1)
    end,
    OnLeave=function(self)
    self:SetAlpha(0)
    end,
},

In LiteStats:

Code:

Friends = {
    enabled = true, 
    fmt = class"F:".."%d/%d",
    maxfriends = nil, 
    anchor_frame = "BoxL", anchor_to = "center", anchor_from = "center",
    x_off = -50, y_off = 1, tip_anchor = "ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT", tip_x = 0,     tip_y = 0
},

Instead of using Hide()/Show(), use SetAlpha(0)/SetAlpha(1). When you hide a frame, there's no longer anywhere to trigger the mouseover, and scripts no longer run on hidden frames.

Texts in litestats are given the anchor_frame attribute, which makes it so they don't inherit anything except anchor points. You can remedy this easily by going to this line in litestats core.lua:

Code:

name = name, anchor_frame = m.anchor_frame,

And change to:

Code:

name = name, parent = m.anchor_frame,

Keep in mind that the texts will now inherit parent scale, alpha, and visibility.

Re: Is it really not working or am I being dumb?

It's probably just a syntax error, can you PM me your layout.lua?

Is it really not working or am I being dumb?

I really wanted this to work so I could replace kgpanels (which is acting weird lately) ... I copied the entire sample layout in the end and only replacing the character name with the character I'm testing it with, but alas ... It's not showing up, all other addons disabled even to make sure

The default lua error frame is kinda sucky, but yeah ... for example, I don't have a folder called FrameXML in my Interface folder. It's confusing me -- have I missed something?

The easiest way would be to make one profile for all the unchanging panels, and other profiles for no class buttons, one, two, etc, then apply.

To extend this to detect automatically, you can somehow find out how many class buttons there are (don't know this off the top of my head) and apply layout based on that.

Something like this:

Code:

lpanels:CreateLayout("ClassAll", {
  -- your unchanging panels ...
})
lpanels:CreateLayout("Class1", {
  -- one button code ...
})
lpanels:CreateLayout("Class2", {
  -- two button code ...
})
lpanels:CreateLayout("Class3", {
  -- three button code ...
})
-- etc, etc

And then apply:

Code:

local classbuttons = 3 -- placeholder for a # of class buttons function
lpanels:ApplyLayout(nil,"ClassAll","Class"..classbuttons)

Or simply class specific:

Code:

lpanels:ApplyLayout("c:warrior c:deathknight","ClassAll","Class3")
lpanels:ApplyLayout("c:druid","ClassAll","Class6")
lpanels:ApplyLayout("c:priest","ClassAll","Class2")
-- etc, etc

I want to make a panel behind my classbar but since different classes have different amount of buttons i would like to have one that changes when im on different character, is that possible ?

This is what i have now

Code:

{   name = "ClassBarL",

    bg_color = "0.22 0.20 0.20", gradient_color = "0 0 0", 
    bg_alpha = 0, gradient_alpha = 0.4,
},

-- Top Left gradient line

    {    name = "Classborder1TL",
        parent = "ClassBarL", anchor_to = "TOP",
        width = "100%", height = 1,
        gradient = "H",
        bg_color = "CLASS", gradient_color = "CLASS",
        bg_alpha = 0, gradient_alpha = 0.8,
   },
-- Top right line
    {    name = "Classborder1TR",
        parent = "ClassBarR", anchor_to = "TOP",
        width = "100%", height = 1,
        gradient = "H",
        bg_color = "CLASS", gradient_color = "CLASS",
        bg_alpha = 0.8, gradient_alpha = 0,
   },

-- Bottom left line
    {    name = "Classborder1BL",
       parent = "ClassBarL", anchor_to = "BOTTOM",
       width = "100%", height = 1,
       gradient = "H",
