    LF UI Addons w/ Various Functions.

    Howdy, sorry for the ambiguous title, but I'm looking for a bundle of UI addons that do the following:

    •Allow me to adjust the scale of the default Blizzard UI below the lowest default setting.
    •Allow me to set certain elements of the default Blizzard UI to automatically hide/unhide and/or be made semi transparent under varying conditions (in/out of combat, mounted, etc)
    •Allow me to place a vignette around the edge of my screen.
    •Allow me to change the icon of a buff/debuff in my spellbook, and have the buff/debuff icon on a target be the same icon.


    Also not so much an addon, but I'm looking for a cheat sheet for writing macros so I don't have to constant ask guildies "what's the command for xxx"

    Thanks in advance.

    this one is kinda easy _G["frame"]:SetScale(.5) wil make it 1/2 the size of default.
    so for your player frame it would be _G["PlayerFrame"]:SetScale(.5)

    i think for in-game as a macro it would be /script _G["PlayerFrame"]:SetScale(.5)

    •*Allow me to set certain elements of the default Blizzard UI to be hidden and/or made semi transparent under varying circumstances (in/out of combat, mounted, etc).
    for this one look here for the frame names your looking for and then do _G["frame"]:Hide()

    The first tip is right on thanks.

    As for the hide/unhide bit, I'm looking for a way to set various elements of the UI to hide/unhide under certain conditions automatically.

    Try Kong Automatic UI Hider for the hide/unhide and transparency modifications.

    For the macro cheat sheet, try Making a Macro and Macro Command API from WoWPedia (more up-to-date than WoWWiki is).

    Also, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "place a vignette around your screen". Can you clarify the request? Actual images, or just a shadow effect?

    It's a subtle darkening around the edges of an image or frame.

    This suite has a good example of it http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-SkaarjUI.html

    Copy the "LitePanels" to your own addon folder

    It doesn't seem to have done anything...

    It's in my folder and it's showing as functional in the character selection screen, but I'm not noticing any change visually in game.

    Yeah it wasn't as simple as that. As far as I can tell, the gradient panel(s) are not made with LitePanels. It should be "SkaarjUI\Core\Shadow.lua".

    ncShadow, maintained by Ferous, does the "vignette" option you want.

    Blarg! Out of date. What's the ridiculously tiny thing I need to change to make it up to date again?

    the code from skaarjUI and ncShadow is exactly the same (with the difference of media location). Try update ncShadow.toc with:
    Code:
    ## Interface: 40200
