Need some help locating an addon. I want something to skin the dropdown menu. I know I could just grab the addon "Skinner", but I find it horrifying to use. I just can't stand using it. Anyone know of something else I can use do skin frames, specifically the dropdown menu?

Skinner is about the only one that does it. Otherwise you have default UI element replacements which aren't mods at all. You're just loading alternatives to default interface graphics. Problem is if you skin the border and background for dropdown menu, you will skin it for most menus in game I think as the background and border graphic are reused.
If you want to try and find if there is a specific graphic for it, this is where you'd search:

I'm guessing in DialogFrame but you'd have to check that yourself.

For minimap in second video, he's using Sexymap. Castbar is probably Quartz and chat can be any number of chat mods. I'd guess Prat or Chatter.

Hey

Can anybody recommend an addon. That can show a certain buff on you or a debuff missing on a mob, in a big flashy configurable frame or icon?

For example as a mage when i have Hot Streak up, or when Living bomb is missing on the target. I'd want a big flashy notification that stays on the screen untill i've refreshed living bomb or used Hot Streak

Thanks in advance

Is there an easy way to convert /run commands into an AddOn?

For example, I want to turn this into an AddOn to save me from having to use it every time I log in:

/run UFP = "UnitFramePortrait_Update"; UICC = "Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-Classes-Circles"; CIT = CLASS_ICON_TCOORDS;SP,CA="SetPoint","ClearAllPoints";NO=function() end
/run hooksecurefunc(UFP,function(s) if s.portrait then if UnitIsPlayer(s.unit) then local t=CIT[select(2,UnitClass(s.unit))] if t then s.portrait:SetTexture(UICC) s.portrait:SetTexCoord(unpack(t)) end else s.portrait:SetTexCoord(0,1,0,1) end end end)

/run zf = CreateFrame("FRAME") zf:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") zf:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED") zf:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED") zf:RegisterEvent(S.C)
/run function zz(self, event, td) if (event == S.C and td ~= "target") then return end; if UnitIsPlayer("target") then _, class = UnitClass("target"); c = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]; _G[S.A]:SetVertexColor(c.r, c.g, c.B); _G[S.A]:SetAlpha(1); end end
/run zf:SetScript("OnEvent", zz);ff = CreateFrame("FRAME") ff:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") ff:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED") ff:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED") ff:RegisterEvent(S.C)
/run function ft(self, event, td) if (event == S.C and td ~= "focus") then return end; if UnitIsPlayer("focus") then _, class = UnitClass("focus"); c = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]; _G[S.B]:SetVertexColor(c.r, c.g, c.B); _G[S.B]:SetAlpha(1) end end
/run ff:SetScript("OnEvent", ft)

Would I need advanced knowledge of coding or would it be something as simple as removing the "/run" and adding a line of text or so? I tried using Treeston's "12 steps for creating an AddOn from a code snippet" guide but since the above one is intented to be used as a macro it didn't work.

Yes, remove all of the /run parts.

As lawomous said, simply cutting off all the /run parts will do the trick. However, I'd suggest you add the following at the top:

setfenv(1,setmetatable((select(2,...)),{__index=_G}))

It will prevent your macro from changing any global variables permanently (since macros such as this tend to taint the global environment a lot) by giving it its own environment (with a metatable to forward any lookups to the global environment).

OK I'm still in the configuration state of STUF, but I can't figure out how to NOT use damaging bars on the target, I need to use icons instead...

What is the cooldown thing on the left in this video? Would be pretty nice to have.

I'm looking for a way to get 2 background images or frames behind my chat windows on either side of the screen in an easy way, I find kgpanels very complicated is there any other simpler way and how can I preview how it will look? - also cause I'm having some bad luck getting replies i'll repost my other questions here: with Pitbull how can I show on my playerframe only my buffs but including trinket & weapon procs without having to add em each manually - and why can't I keybind my 10 button on razer naga on a mac with the 123 setting without it being a duplicate for any of the other buttons? Thank you very much for any help.

Maybe this one works: ClassicPowerText

I am looking for a Combat Text addon that will let me filter specific spells into specific areas of the screen. This seems like such a simple idea, yet I can't find anything that will do it.

MSBT, Parrot, SCTD, and xCT all force you to use general categories — "Outgoing damage", "Outgoing crits", "Periodic damage", "Periodic crits", that sort of thing. They also all let you filter OUT specific spells, but none of them let you Whitelist such that only certain specified spells show up.

Basically, I want:

• All Ignite damage ticks in one place
• Critical strikes from Pyroblast and Fireball another place
• All Combustion ticks in one place (and not the same place as Ignite)

I don't need any other scrolling data at this time. The simple solution would be to Whitelist (only show those spells), and to allow me to set up per scroll frame what spells appear there.

Despite hundreds and hundreds of configuration details in all the Combat Text addons I've tried today, none of them give you these basic options. Further, they require me to manually add every bloody spell that isn't Pyroblast/Fireball into their Filter list. Is there anything out there I've missed, which would let me do this?

EDIT: Well I've settled on using MSBT and having Crits sent to one frame and Dot Hits/Crits sent to another, and filtering every single other Mage spell. It's functional, and mostly does what I need, but — there's so much unnecessary clutter (especially Pyroblast dot tick spam).

Hey, am curious what this unit frame addon is? I have circled what I mean on the screenie, I just think it looks quite epic zoomed :P thanks in advance.

Can someone help me out with getting a timer for Inquisition? I have Tellmewhen and I don't know how to get it to work. I want to see the buff by itself with a timer saying how long it is until it's expired. Thanks!

[Jpeg]

You could use the MoveAnything mod and just move your Buffs to a convenient location? Or do you only want it for Inq?

Only for inquisition. my other buffs are fine where they're at. Inquisition gets caught up with all the other buffs and it's annoying to try and find it while doing a raid.
