Zag's UI

very nice, what addon are you using for the targets name plate and bars? loving whats going on with the map too!

as usual zag ur UI's are excellent
I just have 2 questions.
1.how did you make azcastbar like that
2.what font are u using?? and where can i get it?

John - I use TidyPlates, simply because they work in 4.0.1

Orak -
#1. By editing the LUA. Add the following code to line 301 in acb_Castbar/core.lua

local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
bg:SetBackdrop({
bgFile = 'IInterface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
edgeFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
edgeSize = 1,
})
bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, 1, -1)

#2. I'm using hooge_0557, also known as Pixel_41 in SharedMedia.

I have been fiddling with this UI a bunch today, so new pictures will be coming tomorrow... probably :P

the lua code did nothing. am i doing sumthing wrong?

ah i see, thought it looked a bit familiar. i take it you've custom made kgPanels for the action bars? quite a popular way of doing it, would of liked mine to look like that but could never get my head round kg -.-

Orak - Once you do that, you should turn backdrop colors off. Also, it won't show in 'Edit' mode, only on the real bars. Also, make sure you put it in the Interface//Addons//acb_Castbar//core.lua on line 300. Here, I'll post the code before/after it as well, so you can see:

-- Initialise Each Bar
local bars = { "Player", "Target", "Focus", "Pet" };
local lastBar;
for _, token in ipairs(bars) do
local bar = AzCastBar.CreateMainBar("Frame",token,extraOptions);
bar.unit = token:lower();

local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
bg:SetBackdrop({
bgFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga',
edgeFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga',
edgeSize = 1,
})
bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, 1, -1)

-- Anchor
bar:ClearAllPoints();
if (lastBar) then

John - I actually used the same method as I just showed Orak. I have a personal addon with a bunch of code snippets, and I made an lua file that just said something similar to the above code, and moved it into place behind hte action bars :) A little bit more time consuming, but it doesn't use 400kb+ of memory :D

hmm using the the info above im afraid i still can't get mine to look like that :\, stil im crap with all this so that doesn't help :p! ah thanks for the help :)

Zag,

Amazing UI, anychance you will release this one ?

Hello,

this one is awesome - is there any chance that you release it?

I don't think I will be releasing any time soon, there are still some kinks to be worked out. Also, I need permission from some of the authors, which can take a while. There is also the issue of maintenance, which I can't do right now, as college takes alot of time :P

EDIT: I fixed the height of the HP bars to fit the HP% :)

On a more positive note, new pics!
