Fane

Version: 1.6

by: haste [More]

Fane is a small add-on to make the chat tabs look slightly more appealing. The tabs will always be shown on ChatFrame1 (that's the one where you can have more than one tab).

There are zero configurations for this add-on.

Changes from 1.5
- The tabs will no longer fade, while the combat log quick button list still will.
- Separate chat frames now have their tabs handled correctly.

Changes from 1.4
- Make a global local. (If you fetched 1.4, then you really shouldn't bother fetching this one as well).

Changes from 1.3
- Updated to work on 3.3.5.

Changes from 1.2
- Should no longer error when trying to close chat frames.

Changes from 1.1
- Updated to work on 3.0.

Changes from 1.0
- Set TOC version to 2.4.

Aside from that, can someone please explain to me what I should change in the .lua to make Fane apply a custom font on log in. Right now, I have a custom font set up, but I have to put my mouse over each chat tab to make the font change apply. There was a thread on WowAce's forum asking the same thing - the thread's author figured it out, but I'm having problems and haven't been able to get a reply.

There is a reason why its on his git and not here on wowi :--D

I am more concerned with figuring out how to get Fane tweaked as I described on my previous post. If you can offer any insight, I'd be much obliged.

I downloaded oPanel from his git. I can double check to make sure that everything matches up, but aside from that, I am at a loss. I do not mind - I was only testing the waters with oPanel. I did notice, though, that there was at least one UI compilation on WoWI that contained oPanel, which gave me the initial impression that the addon was fully working. It may work just fine straight from his git, which would mean I'm just running into some strange problem. It may require tweaking - if so, then I am unaware of that requirement. If I get more curious about oPanel, I'll send Haste a PM to inquire about my problem, otherwise, no worries.

Right now, when I log in or reload I have to mouse over the tabs' text for them to appear in the correct font. I have been trying to figure this out for some time now, but I am stumped. I understand all this regarding oPanel. I am not using oPanel. I am not concerned about oPanel. If anyone knows how to tweak Fane, please comment on how to do so. If more people are going to keep talking about oPanel, please refrain from commenting - as I have already said before, I am not concerned with oPanel. I appreciate the sentiment, but my question keeps going ignored in favor of discussing something that doesn't need discussing.

dragongirl411 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 4 Uploads: 1	Hi Haste, I've been using Fane for quite some time now. My question is, can I modify the .lua file so that the chat tabs appear on the bottom of the chat window? I've been teaching myself .lua as I go along, and managed to change my font and font colors myself, but for this I'm stumped. Thanks.

This is very far outside the scope of Fane. Anyhow... The common way to solve issues like this is to block the blizzard code from execution what it should, or trick it into doing something else. A block you can do by hooking the functions that handle the arranging of the tabs, and just have it execute your function instead. This is most likely the easiest way to solve it.

You could also place a function on the chattab to act as a proxy to the setpoint function, as the chat tabs (like all other widget elements) have a metatable lookup on their respective widget table.

Now, this really isn't my (or fane's issue) at all. I recommend that you make a post on any of the coding related forums.

Sending me a PM would have been the most logical choice

.

However, unlock the chatframe, move it, reload ui, it should be fixed . It also might be that your chatframe is being moved by the UI because it's "outside" the screen. Take a look at IHasNoScope and tear out the FCF hook that's there. The comment it has should be obvious enough I believe.

With the 3.0.2 patch Fane broke. I made the following changes to get things working again:

Code:

local OnEnter = function(self)
	local f, s = inherit:GetFont()
	_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(.64, .207, .933)
	_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetFont(f, s, "OUTLINE")
end
local OnLeave = function(self)
	if(_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID()] == SELECTED_CHAT_FRAME) then
		_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(.64, .207, .933)
	else
		_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
	end

	local f, s = inherit:GetFont()
	_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetFont(f, s)
end
local OnShow = function(self)
	local f, s = inherit:GetFont()
    _G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetFont(f, s+1)
    _G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(1, 0, 0)
end
local OnHide = function(self)
	local f, s = inherit:GetFont()
	G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetFont(f, s)
	_G["ChatFrame"..self:GetID().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
end

local rollCF = function()
	for i = 1, 7 do
		local chat = _G["ChatFrame"..i]
		local tab = _G["ChatFrame"..i.."Tab"]
        local tabText = _G["ChatFrame"..i.."TabText"]
		local flash = _G["ChatFrame"..i.."TabFlash"]

		flash:GetRegions():SetTexture(nil)
		flash:SetScript("OnShow", OnShow)
		flash:SetScript("OnHide", OnHide)

		_G["ChatFrame"..i.."TabLeft"]:Hide()
		_G["ChatFrame"..i.."TabMiddle"]:Hide()
		_G["ChatFrame"..i.."TabRight"]:Hide()

		tab:SetScript("OnEnter", OnEnter)
		tab:SetScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)

		tab.SetAlpha = dummy
		if(chat == SELECTED_CHAT_FRAME) then
			tabText:SetTextColor(.64, .207, .933)
		else
			tabText:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
		end
		tab:GetHighlightTexture():SetTexture(nil)

		if(chat.isDocked) then
			tab:Show()
			tab.Hide = dummy
		else
			tab.SetAlpha = nil
			tab.Hide = nil
		end
	end
end

event.PLAYER_LOGIN = function()
	rollCF()
	hooksecurefunc("FCF_OpenNewWindow", rollCF)
	hooksecurefunc("FCF_Close", function(self)
		UIParent.Hide(_G[self:GetName().."Tab"])
	end)

	local _orig_FCF_Tab_OnClick = FCF_Tab_OnClick
	FCF_Tab_OnClick = function(button)
		_orig_FCF_Tab_OnClick(button)

		for k, v in pairs(DOCKED_CHAT_FRAMES) do
			if(v == SELECTED_CHAT_FRAME) then
				_G[v:GetName().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(.64, .207, .933)
			else
				_G[v:GetName().."TabText"]:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
			end
		end
	end

	FCF_ChatTabFadeFinished = dummy
end

This is still not ideal. With these changes you can't get to the menu of the chat frames, so do all your chatframe customizations before enabling the addon.

Thanks

It highlights it red, and that's what it has always done.
