Moving Buff boxes

[azwildfire]

Good day - I did a search and did not find any information on repositioning the buff boxes on the right and left side. I play on a very wide panel LCD - and it can be a pain to keep looking left and right to monitor things like Slice n Dice uptime or other various rogue buffs.

Also, while playing my shaman, in the default UI i could see which totems were active under my character portrait - how do i glean the same information in NUI? I can't seem to find anywhere that shows what totems I have dropped and are still up (aka not been killed by a MOB)

Thanks!

Did you try nUI Aura Buttons?

Thanks for the reply!

I have - and i like the icons better then icon and text- however I still have not found a way move them. I love how you can move blizzard frames with /nui movers - and would love something similar for the NUI buff areas.

Ideas?

The buffs are more complicated to move than the BLizz frames because there's a different buff panel for each unit frame panel. You can move them by editing [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > UnitPanels > {panel mode} > nUI_UnitSkin_{panel mode}{unit}.lua ] where {panel mode} is Solo, Party, Raid10, etc and {unit} is either Player or Target. You can use any plain text editor like notepad.

Look for the ["Auras"] section. You want to change the values of xOfs and yOfs to move the buff panels. You'll want to move the group [2] panels. They're the ones that have aura_type set to "help" -- changing xOfs will move the panel left and right and changing yOfs will move it up and down.

Now, if you're using the aura buttons plugin, then you'll need to do that in the [ Interface > AddOns > nUI_AuraButtons > nUI_AuraButtons.lua ] file rather than in the nUI layouts section. In this case you'll want to change the xOfs and yOfs values in the ["PlayerAuras"] and ["TargetAuras"]

Quick question about the aura buttons...

Can you hover over them with your mouse to see what it is? Or do you have to already know what the icon is to know what buffs you have?

I have been considering moving to the aura buttons, but I don't know all my buffs by icon, seeing as how those icons are so tiny but have to agree that trying to find a buff in that list can be a pain sometimes.

You would have to hover over them. Its one of the reasons I keep with the lists as I need the names more than the icons.

[spiel2001]

They do have normal tootips, so you can hover over them.

is there a way to make them bigger so we can read them. I'm not as young as I used to be and my eyesight isn't all that great.

If you mean the aura buttons addon then you can adjust the layout segment at the top of the lua file. It looks like this. Slowly change the number I highlighted and reload the ui and it will show up in game. You may however need to adjust the offsets or gaps. I am sure Scott will be able to confirm if that is the case.

	["PlayerAuras"] =
	{
		anchor =
		{
			anchor_pt        = "BOTTOMRIGHT",
			relative_to      = "nUI_Dashboard",
			relative_pt      = "CENTER",
			xOfs             = -420,
			yOfs             = 170,
		},		
		options =
		{
			enabled          = true,
			size             = 45,
			strata           = nil,
			level            = 1,
