I really want a semicircle that would stretch around, and I was wondering if I could do that or not.
Semicircles would be beyond the scope of the addon, I know in non-programming they seem close but to enable that functionality would probably double the size of the addon and I'm trying to keep it lean.

Hello, interesting mod... been tinkering a little with the LUA settings to try and garent the circles up to my mouse cursor and to shrink them down a little to suit, but so far havent had any luck... tried replacing the UIparent statement with cursor and mouse etc but with no luck... Admittedly im no programmer so its really a bit beyond me lol any help tho would be appreciated ty
Parenting to the cursor is something that I don't understand the advantages of nor do I know the correct way to pursue such and endeavor. Suffice it to say, the rings are designed to be parented to static frames on the UI.

As for general announcements, In-game configuration is in development and all those annoying little graphical errors are being taken care of.

I do think it's kind of sad that the update for this addon is not an update at all, the toc was just changed to reflect the new game version, though anyone can change the toc number and not download the update and nothing would be changed.

This addon really needs scalability when parented, texture config, and other things, maybe someone else can look into working on the addon since the author has no time to actually work on it.
finals week just ended, gimme a minute, sheesh

and for the TOC thing, you'd be surprised how many people tell me my addons are unusable and broken because of that

I have tried to examine cast.lua to change the texture opacity to something less obtrusive but with my almost non-existent programming skills I can't find the proper syntax. Is it possible and if yes, what part of lua I need to fiddle with? Otherwise I like these castbars but I want it to look a bit less graphically solid.

I understand, that's too bad. I guess I'll have to pass on this addon then.

Ability to scale while parented, adjust x,y while parented,
re-size while parented basically,
so the casting can be within the border I created and
not around the outside of the minimap.

Goodluck on exams.

First off, thank you for Circle Cast 2.

I didn't like the way the gloss/bg looked, they are overbright and not subtle enough (for me anyway). Obviously trans settings in the lua wasn't sufficient enough to overcome this. So I made my own to my personal liking.

Would it possible to add support for an option to add custom or select additional themes?

Anyway, this is what it looks like:
