Is there any way to setup ElvUI minimap as a rectangle?

It will require alot of .lua editing and a rectangular mask to do what you ask for. There are a few minimap addons that have rectangular shape, like dRecMap, bdMinimap etc. Latter also fits very well in ElvUI's look.

I recently redid my quartz a little and somehow changed the position of certain things, how do i reposition/remove the buff timers as circled in the SS below? I have no idea which addon those are from. I also don't ElvUI so



anyone???

Very long time since I used Quartz.
Those bars are provided by Quartz, called Auras if I remember.
Look for that in the options.

Thanks for your answer. I downloaded bdMinimap and works great!

I'm looking for a way to practice my discipline atonement ramp up (and damage phase) while outside of raid/group.

I can hit the dummies, I can set a raid frame of one (me) but I can't simulate a raid of 20 friendlies in range. Is there a way to do that with grid/grid2/vuhdo or any other addon ?

people who play wow @ 4k, what is you UI scale?
for the love of god, i cannot find a value i am comfortable with for weeks now

Easily doable in Weakauras. Make standard debuff aura icon tracker for each debuff. Put them in a DYNAMIC group. In the dynamic group settings you can choose (1) how to grow, horizontal/vertical/left/right and (2) set it to rank them by duration or expiration, etc.

Or just use Raven.

You can set it do what you want with like two button clicks.

Asked this question on other sites, but, how is this possible? The hunter's tame ability reads "Taming" instead of "Channeling" during the action process. Are these addons? I would post a YouTube vid, but I am not allowed, being new.

You can post part of the link. The part we need is the random characters after v= which is the video ID. It's usually the last part of the link, but if it isn't, the ID stops at the first & character.

For example, the ID of this video is dQw4w9WgXcQ.

The first one is using ElvUI. I assume it comes with custom cast bars. The second one, which didn't have a tame cast at that time, or anywhere in the video that I could see, looks like Quartz based on the GCD bar.

Long time lurker, first time poster - seeking help with a Grid2 issue, would appreciate any advice.

I'm currently trying to make the transition from Grid to Grid2 to get more functionality while keeping the visual style I've been used to for several years. So far I've managed to configure it almost to my liking, save for a single pesky issue with frame mouseover highlights.

In Grid "mouseover" is a Status, which allows for color configuration and Indicator association - e.g. I have it set to my Healthbar indicator, so that whenever I mouseover a particular player frame, it would change the color (in my case, to a lighter tone of the Healthbar background color). Here's the code from Mouseover.lua (Grid -> Statuses)

local _, Grid = ...
local L = Grid.L
local GridRoster = Grid:GetModule("GridRoster")

local GridStatusMouseover = Grid:NewStatusModule("GridStatusMouseover")
GridStatusMouseover.menuName = L["Mouseover"]
GridStatusMouseover.options = false

GridStatusMouseover.defaultDB = {
    mouseover = {
        enable = true,
        priority = 50,
        color = { r = 1, g = 1, b = 1, a = 1 },
        text = L["Mouseover"],
    }
}

function GridStatusMouseover:PostInitialize()
    self:Debug("PostInitialize")
    self:RegisterStatus("mouseover", L["Mouseover"], nil, true)
end

function GridStatusMouseover:OnStatusEnable(status)
    self:Debug("OnStatusEnable", status)
    self:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT", "UpdateAllUnits")
    self:RegisterMessage("Grid_RosterUpdated", "UpdateAllUnits")
    self:UpdateAllUnits()
end

function GridStatusMouseover:OnStatusDisable(status)
    self:Debug("OnStatusDisable", status)
    self:UnregisterEvent("UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT")
    self:UnregisterMessage("Grid_RosterUpdated")
    self:SendStatusLostAllUnits(status)
end

local updater, t = CreateFrame("Frame"), 0.1
updater:Hide()
updater:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)
    t = t - elapsed
    if t <= 0 then
        local guid = UnitGUID("mouseover")
        if not guid then
            GridStatusMouseover.core:SendStatusLostAllUnits("mouseover")
            return self:Hide()
        end
        t = 0.1
    end
end)

function GridStatusMouseover:UpdateAllUnits(event)
    local profile = self.db.profile.mouseover
    local mouseover = UnitGUID("mouseover")
    if not mouseover then
        return self.core:SendStatusLostAllUnits("mouseover")
    end
    for guid, unit in GridRoster:IterateRoster() do
        if guid == mouseover then
            self.core:SendStatusGained(guid, "mouseover",
                profile.priority,
                nil,
                profile.color,
                profile.text
            )
            updater:Show()
        else
            self.core:SendStatusLost(guid, "mouseover")
        end
    end
end

Whereas in Grid2 the "mouseover" function is quite rudimentary - it would only toggle it on or off without any configuration options. As far as my non-existent knowledge of LUA goes, the addon simply projects a texture from a default Blizz UI folder over the highlighted frame. Here's the code from GridFrame.lua:

-- highlight texture
    self:SetHighlightTexture(dbx.mouseoverHighlight and "Interface\\QuestFrame\\UI-QuestTitleHighlight" or nil)

*if you've read past this point, please know that I greatly appreciate your time and help*

My questions:
1. Is it possible to sort of 'retrofit' the mouseover code from Grid and use it in Grid2 to maintain the same visual style?
2. If I were to create a custom texture and use it instead of the one utilized in Grid2, how do I incorporate it? Please mind that I know almost nothing about LUA or addon development, but I'm willing to try out any solutions.

If you want to use a custom texture, you need to place it in the folder, restart the client, and replace the default texture path with it.
