BetterBlizzardButtonBorder

Version: 1.1.3

by: Aprikot [More]

* Version 1.1.3

Extra fix for extra ExtraActionButton error

* AddOn Description
Designed for use with the default UI, BBBB is an AddOn that attempts to present the "true" identity of Blizzard's existing button border texture (UI-Quickslot2) by changing the parameters of its in-game presentation.

Code:

-- Config
local tr, tg, tb, ta = 1, 1, 1, 1 -- top color
local br, bg, bb, ba = .2, .2, .2, 1 -- bottom color
local auraborder = true -- make & color aura borders

* A Note On Colors
WoW uses 0-1 decimal RGB values to define color instead of the more common 0-255 RGB values. A regular 0-255 color can be converted to WoW's format by dividing each channel value by 255.

As an example, for the color Cyan (RGB 0, 255, 255), each color channel divided by 255 would return 0, 1, 1. For the Paladin class color (RGB 245, 140, 186), each color channel divided by 255 would return .96, .55, .73.

Alternately, the actual division can be made to occur within an AddOn's Lua code. The two functions below would produce the same color.

Code:

SetVertexColor(.96, .55, .73)
SetVertexColor(245/255, 140/255, 186/255)

For assistance in choosing RGB values, a quick web search for something like "rgb color pickers" will return several useful online utilities.

* Thanks & Credit
Thanks to Neal & thek for ideas & code contained in portions of nMainbar & thek: Buttonskin.

* Version 1.1.3

Extra fix for extra ExtraActionButton error

* Version 1.1.2

Fix for ExtraActionButton error
ToC update to 4.3

* Version 1.1.1

Code simplified to dramatically reduce memory usage (runs at 10-20 KB in testing).
FacePaint support removed temporarily until a better approach can be developed. (Colors can still be set manually atop the .lua file.

Version 1.1 was a complete rewrite of 1.0 which corrected a pretty substantial memory usage issue. Since then I've not seen any issues at all running BBBB (currently running with FacePaint, OmniCC, ncShadow, rNameplates, and various broker addons).

Can you describe the issues you're having, and when they occur (and do they also occur with only BBBB enabled)? I appreciate whatever details you can provide, thanks!

Are you using version 1.1 (fixes 1.0's memory issues)? If you are already then I have some more findy fixy todo.

EDIT: oh you said disabled.
EDIT2: bleh Dx trying to find it
EDIT3: Got it, thanks for the run through, <3 muchlove

I should've said disabled via renaming nMainbar_ButtonSkins.lua. Glad it's working.

As for other bar AddOns, ones that use Blizzard objects (Neal's & thek's come to mind) are generally compatible, however these do their own button styling too

thek's bar addon actually doesn't mess with button styling, I misspoke...
