Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it do that by default now?

Indeed it does, and since 5.1 pet levels for petbattles

Name Plates (the default ones at top left) including the skin
Bar positions (including different skins)
Move the map

Could anyone suggest reliable addons that would allow me to do the following as Ive done this in the past with lesser known ones and theyve been discontinued!

Thanks a ton,

Slips

If by Bar positions you mean the ActionBars then Dominos or Bartender are the two most popular ones. Masque to skin their icons. As for moving the map, two options.
1: get the addon MoveAnything, you'll be able to move the default map with that and literally everything else if need be.
2: get the addon SexyMap(or any other map addon, but this is the more commonly used one i believe). This can skin the map in various ways and even make it square, plus it's movable as well.

I think he actually means the unit frames. "the default ones at top left"

Stuf unit frames or Shadowed unit frames are the two most used ones. I personally prefer Stuf unit frames as I find it has WAY more customizing.

Perfect thanks - and yes meant Unit Frames couldn't remember the name!

Dont know if this is the right forum section to ask but I was looking on my wow printscreen map and found this old picture for TBC, do anyone know what addons I use there?

Looks to me like xperl (unit frames [hp/mp/portraits]), recount (dps), bartender (hotkeys/game menu/etc), satrina buff frames (buff timers), deadly boss mods (boss alerts), and some sort of generic minimap addon.

Hey guys I have a quick question: I recently got into high rated rbgs, and as a priest it is crucial to mass dispell certain debuffs (ring of frost freeze, poly, etc). But in such a big group, it's kinda hard to see and I need to notice those debuffs on the raid frames. But the icons are too small, is there any way to increase the size of the icons? I didn't want to get an addon for it since my wow already has some "slowing" problems.

**Ithic** · 2012-12-09, 01:19 AM

I used to have a line displaying my cooldowns (with icons moving from right to left as time passed) as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYkPI3V1t2s
Does anyone happen to know what it is called? any help would be greatly appreciated! <333

There's three addons that all do this.
1.ForteXorcist
2.Sexycooldown
3.Coolline

Try this one.

I have some scripts for messing with the new Lose of Control added in 5.1. And rather than having to type/macro that everytime i log into the game, i was wondering if anyone would be a kind soul, and turn it into LUA code, so i could stuff it in an addon instead.

Code:

Moveable:
/run LossOfControlFrame:ClearAllPoints() LossOfControlFrame:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,"CENTER",0,-200)

Hide red borders:
/run select(2,LossOfControlFrame:GetRegions()):SetAlpha(0) select(3,LossOfControlFrame:GetRegions()):SetAlpha(0)

Hide background/shadow:
/run select(1,LossOfControlFrame:GetRegions()):SetAlpha(0)

Need the box shadows for action bars gone. Not sure if this was an addon or an in game thing, but it's been bugging the heck outta me the last few months.

Are you using Masque/ButtonFacade? What happens if you type "/framestack" in chat and mouse over those borders?

Well that was rather easy, thank You good sir/madam!

I know this may not be the right place, but is there a way to track lootable objects on the map? I understand that gathermate/gatherer is similar to this but not exactly what I was looking for. It's would be kind of like Npc scan but with objects on the map, such for finding the lost and found items on the ground or even certain herbs/ore. A major example would be the way Npc scan works as it plays a sound when it has found a rare, though is there a way to make an addon track objects as stated above to do the same?

I believe this is not possible, or it might be, but it is against the ToS.

Hey guys,

I've set up a KgPanel button to show/hide a bartender frame. It works perfectly fine for one bar, but what I want it to do is hide/show both bar1 and bar2. I can't seem to get it to do both. Here's my current script for hide/show:

-- OnClick

if pressed then
if BT4Bar1:IsVisible() then
Bartender4.Bar.barregistry["1"]:SetVisibilityOption("always" ,true)
else Bartender4.Bar.barregistry["1"]:SetVisibilityOption("always" ,false)
end
end

Anyone know how to get it to do both bar 1 and bar 2 in one button? Thanks for any help!!

**Annelot** · 2012-12-10, 06:30 AM

Alright so after searching like a mad man, I decided to ask for help. I really want this black unitframe thingy on all my frames. How do I get it?
