Edit nUI Size

Hi guys,

Im quite new to the site and got lost pretty quickly amongst the huge amount of threads and unfortunately the 'Search' wasnt so much help either.

So, here I am posting a question that has probably been posted a few times but alas, seemed elusive.

I have installed the nUI and have tweeked it so its almost how I like it (I still need to fine tune it). How ever one thing I have not learnt how to do is change the actual size of, well, pretty much everything. Im not sure if its the size of my monitor or not, but my text is quite small, my mini map is a blip (not really, but when you need to strain to look at it...) so on and so forth. Everything is rather tiny and I would like (appreciate) some help in regards to changing the size of most things in the UI.

Ive played around with the /nui hud scale but that is not specifically what Im looking for.

Right now the game is playable as Im still leveling my toon so chat doesnt matter, cooldowns are on a spam and I use pretty much 4 or 5 buttons when not in PvP, so the issue isnt dire right now. How ever, I was hoping someone could help me in terms of scale, if at all possible.

Im using an older monitor right now, so the actual size is unknown to me at the very moment. If its an issue where it just has a scale to fit your monitor size, well, I plan to have a magnifying glass next to chat...But then again why would anyone want to read Trade Spam.

Please and thank you for your advice. If you need clarification / SS, Ill be glad to put one.

Edit: Also, the option does not show up in my addons interface, as in, there is no [ interface ] -> [ addons ] -> nUI. I have Bartender4 enabled (simply to hide some cast bars), shock and awe (is REALLY IS a Shamans best friend) and sexy map (Im still unsure why I havent gotten rid of it...)

So basically I have those 3 options in addons but not nUI

nUI5 does not have a built in GUI configuration panel. There are a large number of slash commands it uses to configure options that are documented here http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=21199 and you'll find several options for GUI configuration tools here http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat136.html

As for setting the sizes of the UI and its various elements, there are several FAQs here that should help:

http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=20917
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=21011
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=21010

One thing in particular, if you want to have more control over the chat frame and its settings, I would recommend installing either Prat or Chatter, both of which nUI will recognize.

I'm not sure why you have bartender installed? What cast bars does that hide?

It doesnt hide anything, but since I installed this UI and forgot to disable the BT4 Mod, nothing has conflicted so I dont need to take any action. What ever is working is working and so far Im pretty happy minus the size of the nUI, but I will work with the links you gave me and try to adjust the settings further to my liking.

I appreciate the help but must say I may be back with a few more QnA.

*Edit*

Ok, last thing I need (I managed to work out quite a lot thanks to the links) that I may have overlooked (again).

The buff bar. Any and all options on how to edit it would be great (size, buffs, debuffs etc etc)
Its good, but I cant read what I have. I dont want to re-scale everything, just that one item and Im unsure if its possible?

Sorry to be the bother I am, but I managed to fix up almost all of the things I wanted to fix up thanks to your help =)

In your original post you said:

That's what I was asking about.

I'm really after trying to figure out what it is that you need Bartender for so I can figure out if there's a feature I need to add that's missing.

If you're talking about adjusting the size of the aura display on the left and right edge of the screen, then you'll have to edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > UnitPanels > {panel mode} > nUI_UnitSkin_{panel mode_{unit ID}.lua ] where {panel mode} is one of "Solo", "Party", "Raid10" etc and {unit ID} is one of Player, Pet or Target. -- I know, lots of files, but each panel has its own set of unit frames and each unit frame (player, target, pet) has its own set of auras.

Anyway, when you edit each file, locate the ["Aura"] section at the bottom of the file and look for the "help" group. That's the one you want to change the size of to make the auras bigger.

Another option would be to install the nUI_AuraButtons plugin from the "nUI: Unit Panel Layouts" download section at http://files.nUIaddon.com
