BattleNetFeed

Yay, finally pushing a silly release on BNF:

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...leNetFeed.html



Here's a 'facebook status' type addon for your battle.net friends status messages. Only displays when your social window is open. Clicking on an online friends' status will whisper them. The window height will automatically adjust to the number of current statuses from your friends. Please leave your feedback!

I intend to add a mouseover 'history' tooltip to see old friend statuses which will also work with your actual friends list and not just the BNF window. Perhaps a history browser in the future (only on request).

Full ace config will probably come along eventually if people find interest otherwise it'll be just a simple addon for a few users.

Just a very very basic idea right now but it's fully functional. Been taking my time getting this released.

Some window settings are available for tweaking, just open up the 'BattleNetFeed.lua' file with notepad and change some values around where marked:

--[[ Temporary Config Table ]] --
 
local Width = 220 -- Default 220 - Window width
local Buttons = 6 -- Default 6 - Button amount
local ButtonHeight = 40 -- Default 40 
-- Font settings
local font = "FONTS\\arialn.ttf" -- Default "FONTS\\arialn.ttf"
local NameSize = 9 -- Default 9
local MessageSize = 7 -- Default 7
local TimeSize = 7 -- Default 7
local OnlineSize = 6 -- Default 6
-- Placement
local offsetx = 0 -- Window offset x
local offsety = -35 -- Window offest y
local padding = 1 -- Button Spacing
 
--[[ Don't Change after this point ]]--

There is also a test mode to see what your window will look like with full buttons shown with the slash command:

/bnf test

Thank you for any and all feedback! I love you guys!

I don't use Real ID, so I can't comment on the actual functionality, but you might try making your panel look more like the default UI, and attach it to the friends frame better. For example, you could attach it to the right side of the friends frame, and make it look more like the faction info panel that pops out of the right side of the reputations frame when you click on a faction.

Actually, this would be a good idea for a better version of the ugly and annoying "friends info tooltip" in general...

Yea I kinda like that idea. Much better place for it. I'll have to hide the frame when raid info is shown, but other than that it looks nice there.
