Ok I'll give it a go tomorrow! Thanks for the quick reply though!

I'd imagine there is something similar I have to add for bigwigs?

Hi sorry if noob but I remember there was an option to always view a miniature version of the Map in Battlegrounds. Where in the menu is it?

Back in the day it was in the dropdown menu when you right-click the PvP icon on your minimap, don't know if that is still the case. But there is also a keybind called "Toggle Zone Map", it is under "Interface Panel".

If you mean the smaller World Map, you just click that diagonal arrow in the upper right corner. If you mean the really tiny map that stays on the bottom right corner of the screen hit shift+m on default.

Anyone know if you can add lua code to create an icon of role when u zone in a dungeon or something? Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for an add-on that will help me skin my item, bag slots, micro menu borders to something like this:



and



This is from the add-on Skinner. My problem is that when I enable this option for the micro menu a black bar pops up behind it and it does not work for my bag/items. Also, how do I get the chat tabs and the tabs that say 'Character' 'Reputation' 'Currency' etc. in the character panel to have a border with Skinner?

I hope I have managed to explain this properly, as I suck so hard at explanations it's laughable.

I believe you are looking for something like this: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ons-Crisp.html

It doesn't work like skinner addons but rather replaces all the icons in the game with custom icons that have the graphics in your screenshot. Because if this the icons work everywhere, bars, auras, debuffs and bags.

Is there any easy way to move a UI from a 17" nonwidesccreen to a 27" wide without having to re-locate everything?

"easiest" way as of now is align and a screen shot and just waste time but hell it's taking ages

                if not bar.bg then
                    local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
                    frame:ClearAllPoints()

expanding on this question, is there a way to put the same border on the icons for the skill breakdowns?

Not without going back in time and doing it "right" the first time, sorry: if you locked things to the appropriate screen corner, or center, and offset from that you would have it adapt to the size fairly automatically. If you have to do if from scratch, try using that model instead of absolute positioning so that next time it doesn't hurt as much.

Any idea why, since WoD, DBM timer bars have spacing between them? I've looked through the options (extensively) and I can't find an option that refers to spacing or how apart the bars are.

Any help with this?

[Crudor]

Any help with this?

In "bar setup" there is "Offset Y" for Bar1 and Bar2. Should be 0 for no spacing.

I am trying to make a WeakAura to track the Butcher debuff for swing group. The player names are Katsomi and Astrothug who are swinging if that helps. Not sure how I would do this because I can only see to get it work for my own debuff.

In the Trigger tab, you want Type: Aura and Unit: Specific Unit. Once you select Specific Unit, an entry box will appear where you can type in the player name. Then just put in the Aura Name and select it as a Debuff like you normally would.

Cool, thanks! Was under the impression that it would just move the bars in the y axis. Never occurred to me to just try it.

Has it always been there?

As long as I can recall, yes.

I'm pretty new to WeakAuras and i was wondering if there is a way to track how long i have been in combat with a specific boss (Imperator Mar'gok for example).What i am trying to do is have a message or icon appear after being in combat for like 6 minutes.

Change that to 0 opacity and you're good to go!

[Sunnydee]

It is at 0 tho, hence the issue

Wut.. Well if so I have no idea. That is the option for it.
But in that case, isn't it possible to change the backdrop texture to "none"?

[Daeth]

Can anyone tell me what that addon is that is labeled as Bartender? I couldn't find what kind of option it is under BT and it's similar to classtimers.
