manage default Blizzard UI

[gmarco]

Hi all,

a friend of mine which plays with plain Blizzard UI have asked me if I can arrange it better without too many addons.

So I started working on it mainly removing elements and using some custom textures.

Everyting is almost done but I have some iussue I am not able to solve.

I starting creating a frame:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED") 
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, arg1)
 
-- [...]
 
    if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then
 
    -- here I begin to remove / hide or setalpha(0) various part of UI ...

1) I am trying to remove the PVPIcon from the Player, Target (and optionally party) but it seems to me that this icon as an "immutable" flag and don't want to disappears

I have used:

PartyMemberFrame1PVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
PartyMemberFrame2PVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
PartyMemberFrame3PVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
PartyMemberFrame4PVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
FocusFrameTextureFramePVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
TargetFrameTextureFramePVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
PlayerPVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)
PlayerPVPTimerText:SetAlpha(0)

Also used from the chat with something like:
/run PlayerPVPIcon:SetAlpha(0)

Seems to not work. (I have tried also with :Hide() ) The icon remain there
The frame name is right (I got it with /fstack).

(only the PlayerPVPTimerText:SetAlpha(0) seems to work)

2) Second iussue is:
I am not able to:

MultiBarRight:SetScale(0.7)
MultiBarLeft:SetScale(0.7)

... even if this works nicely from console:
/run MultiBarLeft:SetScale(0.7)

But this works ONLY IF the bar is visible and enable / disable it from ESC --> Interface --> ActionBars make the scale back to default of 1.


If I use something found on this forum:
https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/...ad.php?t=56469

hooksecurefunc(MultiBarRight, "SetScale", function(self, scale)
    self:SetScale(0.7)
end)
 
hooksecurefunc(MultiBarLeft, "SetScale", function(self, scale)
    self:SetScale(0.7)
end)

The bars are properly scaled but they produce errors in doing this:

In the forum thread Seerah pointed out the problem could be better analyzed here:

But unfortunately I was unable to understand the solution
Can someone please explain it simpler

Thanks all.
