Newbie Question

I tinkered a small InfoPanel [Grid / Omen] together. But it's not "perfekt" since i just started with Lua...

I want to fix some nasty Grid-configurations which need to be done by the user right now.

There are 3 things which need to be set on a specific value to fit optimal into the panel:
  • Scale to 0.75
  • Spacing (Border) to 4
  • FrameLock to true
But i only found the method SetScale() i could use to set the scale to 0.75.

So my question is:
Is there a way to change the configuration values of a other addon, without using their methods?

Yes... write to their saved variables directly... but that's a hack at best.

First, big thanks for the quick answer!

It sounds like "You could do it, but it's better you don't!"

So it's probably better just to inform the users what they have to do and ask the grid-authors for adding the needed methods ... some day, right?
