There is a skin for Violation because people requested that it be skinned. The reason why it gets skinned is because the Violation skin gets manually moved to the "skin me" folder in Skinner. So, Vio is skinned on purpose.

[naeem151287]

yes everything is skinned on purpose coz it give a very uniformed look...so no elements in the UI look out of place

P.S: I tried Buffalo2....i think i like EBB better :P

[Seerah]

Then change the way EBB looks. You can change the texture, font, size, etc etc etc

[naeem151287]

well the textures and font is set using SharedMedia...textures=Litestep and font=Segoe UI

SLtimex display is to big and will look better if u switch position with minimap (why 2 different times?)...... Get rid of trinket and rock config mini buttons (Fubar?)..... Hude your bags and use BagsFU instead. .....Tooltip is too big and has too much info u dont really need....Use Geist for buttons that u dont need all the time and make some bars appear on mouseover....And independent advice: If you have many "bars" on the screen (Castbar, ElkBUffbar,Unitframes,Damagemeters,Bigwigs timers) then use SAME or similar texture for all of them...

Curious - if you're not done with it, then why did you release it?

Anyway....
- If you've updated AutoBar, you no longer need AutoBarConfig.
- Don't include the Blizzard addons in the download.
- CooldownCount has been abandoned for some time - use OmniCC.
- If you're using embedded libs, then stick with embedded libs - don't mix in standalones. It only adds to your download size, confusion for users who don't know anything about libraries, etc. Pick one or the other.
- EQCompare (while it does still work and someone bumped the ToC for this patch) has been abandoned - use tekKompare (unless you want the ability to disable hover tooltips in the chat window).
- I don't believe you need Mr.Plow with Baggins unless it does something I'm not aware of. Baggins already has the ability to restack your items to save space.
- If you wish to help your users save memory, then either enable unpacking in WAU or run the .bat scripts found in some of your addons to unpack them. (Cartographer, Violation, Quartz, Prat...) Then modules will be Load on Demand and users can enable/disable modules from the addon selection screen.
- Get rid of Surfaces. It's outdated and I don't think any mods use it anymore. It's been replaced by SharedMedia.
- What is WTF?

[naeem151287]

ok removed Autobar config
Blizz stuff is never included in the download pack which i upload here
added OmniCC instead of CooldownCount
embedded libs are gone
added TekkCompare inplace of EQ Compare
removed Mr.Plow
removed Surfaces
and WTF is a backup of my WTF folder

ty very much for ur help Seerah

Edit:just chked on TekkCompare and i saw its not been updated for a really long time...got something else to suggest instead?

It still works does it not?

[Zyonin]

At last check TekKompare works just fine. If it is not broken there is no need to update it. The outdated mods thing is a joke IMHO and I know others feel that way as well.

[Seerah]

The difference is that EQCompare has been outright abandoned, and only kind souls will update it. tekKompare is still very much alive and well.

[MoonWitch]

Tekkub's Google Code always has the most recent version, and it is, as stated, very alive.

Ps. Anyone else thinking Blizzard didn't check non-g-rated acronyms? (*.wtf seems a joke to me)
