There is an official documentation for LAB on its project page, but I find it to simple (or short)  |
It's indeed that simple >_>

Well, I think so, I didn't report it, but prob someone else did, prob o_O They're a bit out of touch w/ secenv because they don't need to use it for their own UI, all Blizz code is secure by default. So things normally go like this:
- Proper patch #1. Blizz add a new feature, but forget to add it to secenv;
- We report it;
- Proper patch #2. Blizz add said feature to secenv.
They rarely add anything w/ hotfixes though, so I expect this to be fixed in 8.0

Nah, something as simple is done on button creation, so no need to change the lib itself, I was talking about things that aren't implemented/supported by the lib or if you want them to be handled differently, e.g., state/action-specific icon colouration or whatever.
You can even add masque support, if you want.

Well, instead of having OnUpdate handlers running on tens of buttons simultaneously, LAB uses only one, same goes for event stuff. It's a performance gain, a marginal one
You can reskin Blizz buttons w/o any issues, but when it comes to dynamic things, like
using different colours for icons, reusing default buttons might be a PITA, but if you use LAB, you can do whatever you want w/ it
I replaced LAB's Blizz-like code w/
mine.
