How To Make a Good UIFollow

I'll probably be releasing v2 of my UI tonight if I don't get too wrapped up in drinking and Halo 3, for those that are interested.

If you're looking to update stuff, the two websites are wowinterface.com and files.wowace.com.

If you like the MyriadPro font that I've been using in the chat frames, don't update ClearFont2, though.

Have you updated Pitbull?

I don't know what my problem is, but I go into the rock menu and cartographer is not listed, when I go into the map (m) its the standard map and I there is no features to use, when I type /waypoint x,y it doesn't work (I get the "type /help" for more commands error).

I'm bad with directions on where to go, so I really miss way points.

Ok, I just re-dl'd Theo's pack, and copied over his wtf file again. It must have got all jumbled up with messing around to customize it to my taste. I have re-do my customizations but it works again, cartographer is happy again...which makes me happy again.

Thanks Theo.

It should save automatically.

If your target is more than 30 yards away it's range fading. You can turn it off in the config menu.

Focus is a unit frame you can use to track someone like an enemy. I use it in 2v2 arena by typing /focus while targeting the person I'm going to be CCing and then using a blind macro like:

#show Blind
/cast [target=focus, harm, exists] Blind

Regardless of what my target is, that'll cast Blind on my focus if he's an enemy.

As for EBB, you can set up one of the groups to show your target by going into the group settings, choosing "target" as the target of the bar, and setting filter type to "debuffs". You'll want to white list just the debuffs you can do, but it should be pretty simple.

Yeah, that's pretty much all of UI creation after you've got your addon framework down.

I spend probably 30 mins to an hour a day messing around with textures and fonts when I get bored of my current.

Then there are the days when I get bored of the configuration that I have and go to town on that, but most of the time I try to keep the same thing going.

Here's a new screenshot of my UI; I'll probably be uploading this one as v2 today or tomorrow. (Today is kinda busy since I have tons of work to do plus arena that I've put off, and possibly Gruul/Mag tonight! )

edit: forgot the link, and I just realized that this is the 40th permutation of my UI! Holy ****!

The mining icon is a really short Fubar with trackerfu in it. To make a short fubar, create a new bar, up the opacity a little bit, and move your cursor to the edge of the screen until it turns into a dagger, then drag inwards.

Prat is what I use for chat modification. The frames behind my chat are eepanels, and I use MyriadPro for my font with clearfont.

Changes to my health bar are done through Pitbull, yes. I also use SharedMedia to get more textures.

Hey Theo, is there a way to make the bongo bar positioning character specific?

I have a few different toons that I am using your UI on, but they all have different needs for amounts of bars, and in different positions. It is kinda a pain to have to switch par positions every time I log on.

I have tried saving the profiles for the different toons, but that doesn't seem to have done the trick...

I just updated it. Who woulda thunk that staying up to date would be important...

i also found out that for some reason, the Mac version of the Ace Updater was ignoring a ton of my out-of-date stuff, so I manually updated about 15 mods. I will have to fiddle with stuff tomorrow to see if I can fix the problem.

Unlock the minimap, there's an anchor attached to it.

Reset the position of xloot's roll bar, or enable the bongos2 roll bar.

Also, where should I put my minimap to show the quest status/dura status?

Whenever I click in the middle of the screen (right click drag) this **** shows up. It doesn't let me press remove panel. Can I get rid of it?
