I've been trying to reproduce the issues that you've observed, with no luck. I'd really like to solve the problem; However, as you can imagine, it's brutally difficult to fix a problem "blind".
Given that all the screenshots posted have contained extensive UI modifications, I hope you can understand my skepticism that the erro...

Posted By: danltiger
I think I've asked this question before; Have you updated to the latest version? The problem that I'm seeing on your screenshot is something that used to happen when the Blizzard UI would update the position of the level text and the health bar. Since Tidy Plates, by default, does not process each frame, this repositioning caused g...

Posted By: danltiger
I have not been able to duplicate the 'garbage' problem using the default theme and the newest version of Tidy Plates. If a problem still exists in Tidy Plates' code (and I just haven't encountered the right condition), I suspect that it might be related to duplication of the statusbar widget. I'll look into it. Your screenshots i...

Gotcha
I have not been able to reproduce the error in the current version. Have you updated?
It's certainly possible that the errors occur with the newest version, but I can't reproduce them, so I can't figure out how to fix it.

(Good call, Kat)
Slick,
Each theme is independent in settings and features. "Threat Plates" and the default theme are totally different; They don't share features with each other. If you choose to use Threat Plates, then ignore the default thingy.

Re: Re: error
Posted By: danltiger
Hey Kat,
I'm trying something out.. not sure if it will be useful, but here's the deal:
Tidy Plates will now look for two additional functions in your theme:
OnInitialize and OnUpdate
OnInitialize is called when the plate is created. You can use it to add any number of additional frames or regions. It's passed a link to t...

#1 Yep, there is. Depending on the theme you're using, you've already got the feature tucked away (it fades neutral creatures down to 20% opacity - I'm planning on making it 0, however). The default theme has an Interface Options panel, which you can play around with (Just a few settings, so far). If you're using another theme, yo...

Posted By: danltiger
The scaling is a function of the theme file. Theme writers have the freedom to implement each of the functions differently. The default theme that comes with Tidy Plates has some nice features. "Simple" is one of the earliest themes for Tidy Plates, made as an example, but you could easily copy and paste some of the code between t...

Posted By: danltiger
I'm not sure how it worked for Aloft either, other than to say that I used to support something similar; You could change the height and width of that hidden frame, and the Blizzard engine would pack them tighter. I abandoned that feature for one big reason; consistency. The active region of two different plates might not be the sa...

Re: Clique + tidy Plates
Posted By: danltiger
I'm not sure; Being that the nameplate objects change rapidly, that Clique list would also have to change very rapidly. You'd have to keep track of which ones were active, and which ones had been hidden or recycled. Sounds like a ton of work, to me.

Posted By: danltiger
For every nameplate, there's an invisible secure unitframe which provides the link to the corresponding unit. This frame is protected against forced movement and sizing by an addon while in-combat. So, we can change the click box outside of combat... but, this does no good when the plate was created during combat.
In short: Yes,...

Pretty ugly errors, indeed!
I've made a quick update, which might fix things. TP used to attempt to change the hit box of the plates (combat would prevent changes to secureframes, however). Because some plates are created prior to combat, and some become visible during combat, the click boxes become inconsistent. So, I stopped...

I'd love to take credit for the totem icons, but it's Suicidalkat here that produced CleanPlates (I'm just guessing it's his theme you're referring to, since mine only does class icons by default)
Regardless, we both appreciate your comments :-)

Posted By: danltiger
Boring and, more importantly, time-consuming. Updating the changelog is something that I'd like to do, but it's low priority.
Now, if there's problems occurring, that's higher priority. Without knowing how your theme is constructed, or what features you've implemented, it's difficult to diagnose.
The first thing any addon a...

Re: question
Posted By: danltiger
In theory, it's possible to do most of those things:
- The bar orientation can be set to go vertical, but the way Blizzard handles vertical statusbars is different from the way they handle horizontal ones, so I tend to steer away from using them.
- Making a bar that increases with damage is not possible yet, but could change...
