Definitely not intentional

Long time RealUI user, first time poster here. Thanks tons for the time and devotion you've put into the UI, it makes WoW much more enjoyable to play! I have a bunch of questions, so I'll leave them all here and you can answer them if/when you find the time. Happy to post screenshots if desired.

QUESTIONS (feel free to address one at a time if you like):

-Is there any way to change the world map size like in default Blizzard UI? (i.e. one size is large and shows quests on right-hand side then you change size and its a smaller version of just the map that you can move around on the screen) This is one of my biggest requests, as I find myself opening my map often but its in that bigger mode with quest details showing and it takes up a big part of my screen. I'd like to be able to make it smaller like with the default Blizzard map and then leave it in a corner of my UI sometimes. The Zone Map is a bit too small for this and it doesn't show things like quest locations and dig sites.

-I noticed that changing the font settings for Chatter get overridden by the Font Settings in the RealUI Appearance settings. If you set the Chatter fonts all to size 10 but RealUI's Appearance settings are set to Font Size 12, then fonts are size 12 by default. So you have to change the settings in both places to set the font size/styles. Could you condense that to only be controlled by the RealUI Appearance settings or the Chatter settings?

-Would you ever consider switching the bag addon to one that offers a bit more customization and settings? I disabled the cargBags_Nivaya addon and started using Adibags and they're very customizable but still similar to cargBags in that each item shows sorted in its own category. There are also options to automatically group all gear items from your gear sets, which is really nice when you're disenchanting a bunch of dungeon drops and don't want to accidentally d/e your off-spec gear. Bunch of other great features as well, all configurable.

-Would it be possible to have an option to turn on the little triangles above the UI HP bars like in previous RealUI releases? I've seen some videos of the old interface and I think the little triangles pointing to current health level would be helpful for quick visual checks of the health of yourself and your target.

-I'm not sure if there is an addon included in RealUI by default that allows modifying the Loot Rolls or if they're just default Blizz frames with the Aurora window properties, but it'd be great if it was possible to change some of the settings for the Loot Rolls, like making the little popups smaller width to fit better in certain areas of the UI. I'm currently using XLoot, works great with the UI and Aurora. Did you ever consider just including XLoot in RealUI?

-I would love to remove the black background of the Skada windows I use, but I can't find a setting that allows that. However I admit, this may be a change made in Aurora, rather than RealUI. Let me know if its possible to remove the background or to even lower transparency. (Skada windows are currently set for no background, so that doesn't help)

-I noticed that the little mail icon in the bottom left of the screen sometimes stays on after I open all my mail and my mailbox is empty. I run back to the mailbox and click it to open my empty mailbox and then the little icon goes away.

-I used to use LUI and one feature I liked that RealUI doesn't have is that when you mouse-over the info text for current RAM usage, it would show the RAM usage for all addons sorted by most resource intensive. It helped a lot with finding out why your FPS dropped suddenly and which new addons are hogging your system's resources.

-Would it be hard to add the ability to anchor the minimap [and other parts of the UI] to the bottom or the center of the screen rather just topleft and bottomleft? This is useful when configuring the UI to work with different resolution monitors (i.e. my 1680x1050 desktop display and my 1440x900 laptop display).

-Would it be possible to add an option of bringing up the game menu (like when pressing Escape) when you right-click on the RealUI icon in the bottom-left of the screen? That way you could bring up settings for interfaces, macros, system (video/sound/etc) and stuff without having to press Escape to close all windows and then open the game menu. LUI did something similar; when you left-click the configuration icon it would bring up LUI settings, when you right-clicked it then it would bring up the game menu.

-I love the "farm mode" feature for the minimap. Anyway you could increase the maximum size to more than 200%? Maybe like 300% or 400% max?

-I've always wondered, what is the little yellow corner of the minimap? I don't think it means resting...is it the current world PvP status of the area you're in?

That's all for now. ^_^

Just bumping that I also saw this, just never thought to post a bug about it.

I love this addon. But I also love the artwork that blizz puts into it's frames for things like the spellbook and achievements etc. When I used to use tukui one feature I loved was the option to not reskin the blizzard frames for these things. Would you consider adding such an option, or am I just being an idiot and missed where to find it in the addon?

temporary fix for MSBT...wonder if this works?

MSBTOptions -> MSBTOptionsPopups.lua

before line:
frame.normalPreviewFontString:SetFont(fontPath, fontSize, outline)

insert:
frame.normalPreviewFontString:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF",20);

so it looks like:
frame.normalPreviewFontString:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF",20);
frame.normalPreviewFontString:SetFont(fontPath, fontSize, outline)

line:
if (fontPath and outline) then frame.critPreviewFontString:SetFont(fontPath, fontSize, outline) end

replace with:
if (fontPath and outline) then
frame.critPreviewFontString:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF",20);
frame.critPreviewFontString:SetFont(fontPath, fontSize, outline)
end

apperently there is a bug in blizzards method SetFont so it dont work even for existing font, but calling that same method with generic font (FRIZQ) fixes it

enjoy

That was the case.
Thank you very much!

I'm trying and I can't get used to it. It works properly for Rage, as in the bar fills red as I gain rage. But energy, mana, and focus are all the opposite, they fill with color as I use my resource. Please try and work in a switch for this. Thank you

So I've been digging around for the cast bar lua, and can't seem to find it. Suggestions?

Sorry Massive, this didn't work for me. I tried it with and without a Fonts folder.

Apologies for the brief responses. I'm still looking at posts and making note of any suggestions/bugs, so nothing is getting overlooked.
