Want to hide 95% of interface untill mouseover

[ffxiedyn]

Anyone know a way to make 95% of my UI add on's hide until they are moused-over?

IE: SexyMap mini map, Domino's action bars, Prat chat frame, Omen threat meter, Skada dps meter, Grid, etc...

If so, please describe it in simple terms, I have no knowledge at all of LUA.

The reason I ask, the add on Fortress has an option to hide all of its modules until mouse-over, and I nearly wet my pants when I saw it in action!!

I would like to make the rest of my UI the same!!

Thanks!

use something like OnScreen or Dock

[ffxiedyn]

both of those addons are out of date

and even if they do work, the first is just for out of combat hiding

while the other one i would have to overhaul the placements of my addons to get it to work

and it still does not completely hide untill mouseover

just shrinks untill mouseover

but thanks for those suggestions!

hope someone still knows a way to hide untill mouseover!!

I might use kgPanels for that, a transparent panel, 0% opacity, 100% width, 100% height, with OnEnter and OnLeave scripts, and the element you want to hide set as the parent.

Perhaps something along the lines of...

OnEnter
this:GetParent():SetAlpha(1)

OnLeave
this:GetParent():SetAlpha(0.1)

First off I would recommend a addon called hack . . . I have my entire interface scaled at .65 well just about every addon and warcraft uses a default scale of 1, so using hack I just put a line in for each frame I could find that said

FrameName:SetScale(.65);

I click the button on hack to run the page on load, and boom . . . my entire interface, characterFrame, BankFrame, GuildBank . . . it's all scaled to .65

Now I know you aren't asking about scale, but that addon will make changing those things alot, easier for you, you can do it all in game once we get the exact lua script that would work for you

I'm thinking something that would check if there is a frame under the mouse, what frame it is and then set a script to SetAlpha(0.2) onLeave and SetAlpha(1) onEnter

but doing it the way I did allows me the freedom to only do the frames I want to do. Now if I can figure out how to make a macro to run a certain page from hack upon clicking it . . . then I could toggle the size of any frame I want with a mouse click.

I highly recommend it

ooo kgpanels can hide on mouseover?!! sweet!!

everytime i have tried to use that addon however, i get so lost!!!!

i will mess around with it a bit today, does it come with art now?

i never saw any before, and was never sure how to get it to use any i liked.

as for hack, i will try that one out next, but from what you say

it just resizes elements on mouseover? or does it actually hide on mouseover?

sorry i cant really tell from your post, but i hope its the latter!!!

off to play with kgpanels, will post in a few if i get stuck on it somewhere!!

thanks for the replys!!

I still use it.

Bind a key or move your mouse into one of the screen corners to toggle the layer.
