Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?

This addon will add many improvements to the new quest tracker frame. The slash command is /wfww. You may also alt-click the tracker's collapse button to access the options.

Features:

allows the quest tracker to be moved wherever you please
quest tracker will collapse in whichever direction it's anchored to (ex. collapse down)
quest tracker remembers collapsed state
adjust the scale of the quest tracker
adjust the font, font size, font flag (outline, etc.), or remove shadow
give the quest tracker a background and/or border
adds a tooltip for quests to display their objective text
shortcuts added to the collapse button (toggle Quest Log, Achievement Frame, addon's options)
global or character specific profiles

History:
With the new quest tracker losing its ability to be moved freely, I set about adding support for it back into my minimap addon, PocketPlot. But it just wasn't as simple anymore with the way it was coded. So, I set out to create a standalone addon (or at least a module for PocketPlot). Originally named Movable WatchFrame, I started adding other features to the addon. Then I had to change its name, because it did much more than just moved the tracker. Thanks to Recompense for suggesting "Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?"

Known Issue:
If you alter the font size too much, you may have to reload your UI in order to have the quest tracker redrawn. Some text may also overlap if it flows onto a second line. In this case, consider adjusting the whole frame's scale instead.

Change Log - Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?

v.1.3.1
- fixed bug when mousing over achievements. Now you'll see the tooltip for the achievement instead!

v.1.3
- added tooltip for quests in the tracker, displaying their objective text
- added support for nUI (to keep it from hogging the watch frame) - thanks, Xrystal! (I did not add nUI to the OptionalDeps line in the .toc, figuring that since WFWW starts with a W, it would load close to the end. PLEASE let me know if I need to fix anything!)
- added option to remove the font shadow
- organized options a bit better

v.1.2
- added option to hide the watch frame when no quests or achievements are being tracked

v. 1.1.1
- fixed bug where your set height would not be reapplied when re-expanding the tracker

v. 1.1
- watch frame now remembers if it was collapsed before (saved per character)

v. 1.0
- initial release

Actually, speaking of feature requests... It would be Really Cool to have the option of hiding the objectives for completed quests. I mention this because I run out of room sometimes if I'm tracking all my dailies.

You might want to wait until 3.3.3. Not displaying the completed quests is an option every user can opt to show. They're still being tracked, just not taking up space until you ask it to. Unless of course Seerah wants to change it

AFAIK, neither of them would remove a completed quest from the quest tracker. No problem - I'll get used to it. Spent too much time using QuestGuru/nquestlog and was able to keep completed quests visible in the quest tracker.

I may have misread whatever I am remembering, it might have been the achievements or quests and from whatever files they are linked to as I have looked at quite a few while working on my addon .. but in game wise, it's hard to know in my case as I don't play that much if at all. But I do know before this new WatchFrame completed quests did get removed from the tracker as it used to annoy the hell out of me and I'd have to keep going back into the quest log and set it to auto track again a few mins before doing my different hand ins.

If I spot the block of code or note that I am thinking of I'll let you know but looking at how the WatchFrame itself works it displays all tracked quests regardless of complete status. So, unless something somewhere tells it to stop tracking it, it shouldn't stop tracking it.

Well it looks like QuestGuru extends onto the default questlog at a quick look, whereas Seerah and myself extend onto the WatchFrame. But when I play around with my own addon on Monday I'll take a closer look and see how it works there. But it will still be up to Seerah to incorporate anything like that if it was possible

I used to use QuestGuru myself when I was levelling.. but after 6 alts getting to 80 I don't really need to level any more rofl.

What Seerah was saying, I think, is that the WatchFrame itself isn't removing the completed quests so you must already be using an addon that is doing that.

However, I am sure I read somewhere that there is a short timespan until completed quests will be auto removed off the list but this part of the functionality may be beyond our control. I have looked at QuestFrame and WatchFrame lua files and do not see anything telling it to remove the quests. So you're guess is as good as ours how to stop it from happening.

Well, that wasn't the only reason why i wanted a external mod, i also wanted the watchframe to match the UI

I got curious, and after studying the blizzard quest frames for a bit, I've implemented line spacing controls.

The calls to WatchFrame_Update() are not in the FontChanges() routine because putting them there triggers an infinite recursion. It appears that a QUEST_OFFSET of 0 still leaves a little more space in front of quest headers than in front of other lines, but it's much more livable.

If the author wants this code, it's free for the taking. I explicitly release it into the public domain. (I'm not actually sure I could have any copyright in something so trivial, but I don't want anyone worrying about it.)

Seebs, your code worked like a charm. Now... to find a way to make the tracker not remove completed quests...
