rUF Minimap

erica647 · 08-04-08, 06:48 AM

I've been playing with rUF (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7698-rUF.html) and I really like the way it looks. What I'd still like to do though is to make my minimap match but am not very good with apps like Photoshop. Has anyone made similar textures for the default minimap and would be willing to share... or possibly create some for us? If I can be so bold as to take this one step further, having minimap buttons match would just be incredible! hehe Thanks!

Not perfect, erica, but try these textures. Simply place the two folders in your Interface folder (*not* your Addons folder). If they look okay and I missed a texture, let me know and I'll recolor it for you, too.

PS- if they look okay, I'd like to see a screenshot.

If they look like crap, then you don't have to bother.

Hey Seerah and thank you very much for doing this! I've attached a screenshot so you can see what it looks like so far. The color kinda looks "washed out" and there's still some of the original gold color bleeding through. I wonder if it's possible to replace those original textures instead of trying to color them like it seems was done with rUF. I think it would be kool too to package this in different colors as just a simple way to change the default ui.

You rock Seerah!

Oh, yuck - that looked much better while still in photoshop.

I'll give it another shot tonight if I remember. Have some other things to attend to today.

Or someone else can have a go.

why not just do:

Code:

MinimapBackdrop:GetRegions():SetVertexColor(0,0,0)

Wow that works great Slakah... thanks! Is it possible to do the same thing with the minimap buttons and the border for the location text above the minimap?

Thanks Kryptt! Is this supposed to make the border black or just remove it? For me it just seemed to remove the borders completely which looks awesome on the map icon but the tracking icon is square and has a weird shadow behind it.
