Bartender slide in

[Doondoon]

So i have bartender all setup with a bar on the left and right of my screen, at the moment i have it set to only be visible on mouse-over but i would very much like for these to slide in from the edge in order to go with my ui, i also want to attach some KGpanel graphics to the bar if this is possible?

Slide-in requires animation, which is only possible for secure frames (like action bars) out of combat.

Attaching kgPanels to anything is trivial; just specify the name of the frame in the kgPanels options as the parent for the panel. Type "/fstack" and mouseover the action bar to find its name.

Thanks, Phanx, your so helpful :-D so what happens to the bars if you are in combat? also if i managed to make these said bars slide in, would the attached kgpanel slide in with it?

[Phanx]

Yes. If the panel is parented to the bar, and positioned relative to the bar, its visibility and position will automatically change with the bar's visibility and position.

As for combat, you would have to make the bars appear when entering combat, and remain visible until you left combat... or keep them hidden during combat.

An alternative would be to use a fade-in effect rather than a slide-in effect. Fading only requires changing the opacity, not the position, so it can be done in combat without restrictions.

Note: your buttons would still be clickable, just invisible when faded out.

Thanks, currently the bars are faded out, on hover they are visible, i was wanting the slide in for the cool factor :-P

Anyone able to help with the script to make actionbar slidein/out ?I would like to know myself too so I can implement it into my custom ui.I got the parenting figured out just need to figure out the script to make it slidein/out.

have you looked at FlyoutButton - http://www.wowinterface.com/download...tonCustom.html ?

I think LUI might be a better example. It already has bars that do the slide on the sides of the screen.

I figured it out
