hehehe, sorry, just me being silly/excited. Something we've been asking about for a while now, will be upcoming in 1.8 You can see the reference to it in the thread on the front page.

Aaahh yes, I was reading the american boards a while back and I recall someone asking slouken how to get the visible area smaller so that you could have a black border in order to put your interface elements in it, that way it doesnt cover up the moving picture bit . I don't read the american boards (I'm playing wow-EU) much though so thats all I remember.

Should be some pretty interesting setups with this change then .

The other change with SetPoint is slightly handy too .

Any update on this feature? I know CT_Viewport was working, but it's throwing up error messages (listed below) on startup now (though it still works).

[string "CT_ViewportFrameLeftEB:OnTextChanged"]:2: attempt to compare nil with number
---
[string "CT_ViewportFrameRightEB:OnTextChanged"]:2: attempt to compare nil with number
---
[string "CT_ViewportFrameTopEB:OnTextChanged"]:2: attempt to compare nil with number
---
[string "CT_ViewportFrameBottomEB:OnTextChanged"]:2: attempt to compare nil with number

Was anyone else able to program it into your UI?
