kgPanels

Table of Contents

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elseif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

You should also really check that Recount is there when you script runs. it may be erroring since Recount wasnt valid when you script runs and doing it on update means for every frame you pass your checking the title.
Add as a scriptdep Recount to be sure Recount has loaded before your script is launched.

kgpanels checks for LibSharedMedia-3.0 to access sharedmedia content.

I'm using r173, updated 1/4/09, so I think it's the latest I could get.

Another thing: When I try to use the SetText() function on one of my panels, I get no results. I would like to replace the default Recount title, so I set the following scripts:

<<code>>OnUpdate: if Recount.MainWindow.Title:IsVisible() then Recount.MainWindow.Title:Hide(); end

local title=Recount.MainWindow.Title:GetText() if not title==self:GetText() then self:SetText(title) end<</code>>

I can't see there should be anything wrong with this script, at least not on the part of not being able to retrieve the text on the Recount title frame, since when I use

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(Recount.MainWindow.Title:GetText())

I get what I wanted just fine, even when the Title frame is hidden.

It should just be there, what version of shared media are you using?

I seem unable to change the font used in Text Options, since the selection bar is simply grayed out :/ I am aware that fonts used are imported from SharedMedia, but I have a multitude of fonts imported into that addon, which I used with great succes in both SLDataText and Chatter. I've tried resizing the frame, changing opacity and whatnot.
Any clues as to how I can fix this problem?

Wow, I love this thing. Works AWESOME. One thing I want to know; can I set some sort of script that will decrease the size of my party panel (or even make it disappear) while I'm not in a party? I run low resolution so it'll save screen space.

There also seems to be a memory leak. After a while of playing with settings it will start to freeze every time I change a value, apply a value, scroll through any menu, or open a setting to view it. The more settings I change for panels, the longer it will freeze and the more memory will be used.

Works fairly well, just a few bugs I've noticed.

*Your border insets don't work as described, top and left are swapped as well as right and bottom being swapped. This also affects importing layouts.

*With longer lists of frames, if the side box is not all the way at the top it will disappear until it's moved to the top and something else is applied.

*After a frame is removed, if you attempt to add another frame with the same name it will not appear until you restart WoW.

I have been having an issue in that I am unable to make the panels I create stay exactly where I put them. They always seem to move a couple pixels in one direction or another and tend to change size by a couple of pixels sometimes as well. This can be very frustrating. Any ideas as to why this might happen? I don't have this issue with any other addon.

This addon still has major issues. I'm trying to create a bottom texture that consists of 4 panels, yet after reloading, only 3 of them get shown, the forth vanished. when I create a 5. panel, only 1+2 get shown, 3-5 do not. I got it working *somehow* with 5 panels, from which 4 got shown. Another problem was, that OnLoad would get called for panel 1,2 and 4, but not for 3, although all of them had the exact same code. seems pretty random to me

I can't reliably make a panel show up. Not trying to do anything fancy - just a simple flat background. When I create a new panel, nothing appears on screen. I've tried various combinations of parents/anchors (UIParent, ChatFrame1, etc), various sizes and offsets, etc. A couple times a panel appeared briefly but disappeared on next change. My guess is something is either causing the panel to be hidden, or moved offscreen.

Could someone post instructions for a "hello world" that puts up a simple panel in the middle of the screen? I want to see if I can make that work, or if possibly there's a conflict with other mods, etc.

I have 1 issue and 1 question:

Issue:
Whenever I try to parent any frame to my target the frame goes off the screen...

Question:
Does anyone here know what is the name of the Chat frame?

I'm having exactly the same problem:

I've set PitBullUnitFrame3 & 4 (target & tot) for the panels and they seem to work for a while. As soon as I relog they don't seem to appear again anywhere.

profiles only change which layout a particular character is using, the layouts are global.

Hello there :)
I have a little ... problem. In fact, I don't have access to differents profiles : all profiles are strictly the sames. If I modify one, all the others are modified the same way.

Hey, just a suggestion, maybe put a little note in the description of eePanels directing people to this one instead of the fan mod eePanels2? Just a thought to maybe get your hits back up; not everyone reads comments. =)
