WoWInterface - nUI Layout Test

First off, this is pre-alpha-alpha code... :D

This is an attempt to manage the nUI layout without editing the nUI core files. It's main purpose is to move the ui elements around a bit too fit nicely into all those new cool nUI dashboards, but it should be possible to override any layout info from nUI_DefaultConfig.

I used nUI Tribal for the artwork. Please download and install that prior to trying this out.

Right, now for the code. :)

Code:

local frame = CreateFrame( "Frame", "nUI_Test", UIParent )

This is the standard create frame code found in most artwork plugins.

Code:

local function setupSkin()

        if not nUI then return end

        if not nUI_DefaultConfig then return end



        if not nUI_Skins then nUI_Skins = {}; end

        local skin = nUI_Skins["custom"] or nUI_DefaultConfig

        

        -- skin.MicroMenu.options.enabled = "no"

        skin.MicroMenu.anchor = {

                -- anchor_pt  = "BOTTOM",

                -- relative_to = "nUI_TopBars",

                -- relative_pt = "BOTTOM",

                -- xOfs        = 15,

                -- yOfs        = 150,

                anchor_pt  = "TOP",

                relative_to = "nUI_Dashboard",

                relative_pt = "TOP",

                xOfs        = 440,

                yOfs        = -60,

        }

        

        -- skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.btn_size = 53.5    -- 53.5

        -- skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.gap      = 2        -- 2

        -- skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.anchor  = "BOTTOM" -- "BOTTOM"

        skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.xOfs    = -300        -- 0

        skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.yOfs    = 150          -- 123

        -- skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.rows    = 1        -- 1

        -- skin.ButtonBars.nUI_ActionBar.cols    = 12      -- 12

        

        nUI_Options.onebag = true

        

        skin.BagBar.anchor = "BOTTOM"

        skin.BagBar.xOfs = 130

        skin.BagBar.yOfs = 150



        skin.SpecialBars.anchor.xOfs        = -595

        skin.SpecialBars.anchor.yOfs        = 210



        nUI_Skins["custom"] = skin

        nUI_Options.skin = "custom"

        frame:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")

end

This is where the magic happens. :D

Code:

local function setupArtwork()

        nUI_TopBars1:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2_Console" );

        nUI_TopBars2:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2_Console" );

        nUI_TopBars3:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2_Console" );

        nUI_TopBars4:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2_Console" );

        nUI_TopBars5:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2_Console" );



        nUI_BottomBars1:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_21" );

        nUI_BottomBars2:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_22" );

        nUI_BottomBars3:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_23" );

        nUI_BottomBars4:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_24" );

        nUI_BottomBars5:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_25" );

        

        nUI_Dashboard_Panel1:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_21" );

        nUI_Dashboard_Panel2:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_22" );

        nUI_Dashboard_Panel3:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_23" );

        nUI_Dashboard_Panel4:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_24" );

        nUI_Dashboard_Panel5:SetTexture( "Interface\\AddOns\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_2\\nUI_Carbon_Tribal_25" );



        frame:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD");

end

I just wrapped the code from the onEvent from the skin into a new function.

Code:

local function onEvent(self, event, ...)

        if event == "ADDON_LOADED" then

                setupSkin()

        elseif event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then

                setupArtwork()

        end

end

This is the new onEvent code. Simple. On "ADDON_LOADED" it loads your skin settings, effectively overriding nUI_DefaultConfig. When "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" fires the artwork gets loaded.

Code:

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", onEvent)

frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")

frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

The obligatory Setscript and RegisterEvent thingies. :)

Unfortunately I'm graphically challenged so all the layout coords and offsets might be all wrong, but I expect you skin guru's will be able to figure things out. Enjoy the code. If it works for you: "Wooooo!!!"; if not, then it wasn't me... :D

Feel free to tweak things, even calling me an idiot and fixing things would be ok. I'm off to bed now, haven't slept in 2 days so this code might very well make your goldfish swallow your cat. :banana:
