In any event, if the problem comes back, e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you a special copy of the buttonbag code to use in order to try and track down the source of the problem. |

This is a new error to me but I think I know what caused it, so I'll add a trap for it. Thanks for the heads up. |

I'm curious... are you playing on the US or European servers? Has the problem appeared again? |

nUI does definitely benefit from a wide-screen display mode. No ifs, ands or buts about that. Good luck with that raid. I'm busy losing in Alterac Valley today ~lol~ |

Yes... you can resize the threat bar and the casting bars. Look at the ["Bars"] section under nUI_HUDConfig in WTF\Account\{your account}\SavedVariables\nUI.lua -- You'll find sections there for The casting bar, the channeling bar and the threat bar where you can set their width (and height for the casting bars). There are also options for the bar colors so if you want to make your casting bar blue instead of yellow, you can. Take a look in Interface\AddOns\nUI\Layouts\nUI_HUDLayout.lua for all of the HUD configuration options... then just make the changes you want in the WTF SavedVariables nUI.lua file. As for the threat bar issue... I'm curious if the DPS who pulled agro has Omen installed. If the player who has agro does not have Omen/Threat 2.0 installed, then the agro bar fails... that's a known issue that I have to figure out how to fix. |

Exodist --
The GUI configuration system will not be released until after nUI development has stabilized. For now I'm afraid that the only way to customize the layout is by hand editing your WTF\Account\{your account}\SavedVariables\nUI.lua file (I'm going to have to make a macro to type that out for me ~smile~) That said... nUI is HIGHLY configurable. I have created nearly every aspect of it to be modifiable via the configuration file. The trick is just in the doing it. You can look at the files in Interface\AddOns\nUI\Layouts to see what the key options are for the main elements of the UI. Then when you look at the WTF SavedVariables nUI.lua you'll understand what you're looking at. Sorry there's not a more elegant way to do it than that, but for now I'm afraid that's all there's going to be. I won't even start coding the GUI (I'm designing it, just not coding yet) until nUI is out of beta and stable. Too much changes too fast and having to maintain the GUI config at the same time will triple my work load and end up making the config tool a huge mess because of the constant change. I know... not the answer you wanted to hear ~smile~ Sorry.

So... any changes you make to that file are going to be pretty secure should you choose to make them. I won't say they're 100% secure, but changes are rare and minor. For the benefit of those who are reading over our shoulders, I have coded a configuration file updating system into nUI. It "remembers" what version you were last using and when you install a new version, only makes changes to the config file that are required. For example, I recently moved the player and target name labels in the HUD from above the current health/power percent values at the bottom inside of the HUD to above the maximum health/power values at the top of the HUD. So, when you updated from 1.06 to 1.07, I changed those two values in the config file and nothing else. It's a surgical updating system. Once nUI becomes stable, I'll also have the config file updater look at your file and see if you are using the default value or a custom value and only change the value if you're using the default. That change in approach will occur when the beta phase is complete. Until then, I'm just too lazy to take the extra steps ~smile~ Last edited by spiel2001 : 07-22-08 at 08:29 PM. |

Since nUI is beta and this is my first raid with nUI here is my beta nUI configuration. It needs a ton of work obviously but I will work out the kinks. The only thing I want in the raid frames to be able to see them, if the players are close enough to be buffed, (sRaidFrames makes them fade if they are to far away) and the buffs deployed. The nUI frames are just to small in the little box for my taste, but what I have here is to big for my taste also (to much screen).

I think I'm going to take a big giant step back and re-think my whole approach to unit frames. I've learned way much about the WoW API and LUA since I originally wrote them (they were the first part of nUI I wrote besides the dashboard itself).
I clearly need to solve the issue of size for the raid frames, as well. I'm leaning toward doing something like a Titan or FuBar type bar you can attach to the top, bottom, left or right of the screen as you see fit but I'm not sure yet. I want to keep it clean in the nUI way, but also know that I have to solve this problem of size. My biggest concern is that the current unit frame design is dragging down the frame rate in raids and that bothers me more than anything else. I think I'm going to take a hiatus from nUI updates for a while and redesign the unit frames like I did the action bars. That paid off in a big way as the action bars are MUCH more stable and use almost no CPU overhead now. I hope I can do the same with the unit frame. What I want to do in the meantime is to collect information from nUI users on what they want in raid unit frames and raid information so I can take as much into account in the new unit frame design as possible. So, I encourage everyone to hit me with all your thoughts with regard to unit frames... what you like, what you don't like, features you want, etc. and I'll see how much of it I can do. In the meantime, I'll release the occasional update if required for bug fixes, but I think I'm going to take a week or possibly two to completely recode my unit frames.
