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.

Hi, after the newest releases of kgPanels, I'm having some trouble with frames that are parented to Pitbull 4 party frames. I'm not sure if this is an issue with PB4 or kgPanels so hopefully one author is able to recognise where the problem lies.

If I parent a panel to a party frame, for example PitBull4_Groups_PartyUnitButton1, and then set the size values to a percent (I'm using 105.6% and 137%), the panel will successfully attach and move to the panel and fit itself to the correct size. However, if I log out and then back in again, the frame will never return unless I click the activate button every time I enter the game. This does not occur for anything other than the party frames and switching from a percentage size to a standard number fixes this.

It's a very specific problem so I understand it may be hard to fix and even then something you won't add until the next version of kgPanels but it is rather annoying having to click specific gui buttons whenever I enter the game. I can provide more info if needed.

Edit: After more testing, the panel only starts to hide after relogging if the panel is actually anchored, so it seems to be more likely this is down to kgPanels.

As with the 15 other comments - some people (myself included) are having issues with background colours / art.

I hope this gets updated soon as this super awesome addon puts the finishing touches to my UI - i cant breath without it!!!

First time using kgpanels. I've watched a couple videos online and am sure I understand what to do. I've loaded my art files into the Art Library tab, then created a new Layout and then went to Active Panels and created a new active panel. My problem is that once I do this and click on Texture Options, I'm not getting any options whatsoever, the portion of the config where the texture options should be is blank. Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions? Appreciate any help I can get as this is the addon I've been wanting forever!

Seems to be working now, I figured it might be another addon causing the conflict... tried to deduce which one but still unsure... but oh well, working now!

Ok, this is the weirdest thing... whenever I log into my character or reload the UI, the opacity for my panels fades so I can barely see them. If I slide the Opacity bar over and then back to 100%, then the panel returns to the way it should be. I cannot figure out how or why this keeps happening .. can someone help?

First of all I want to thank you for the excellent addon you've provided us. However, with 4.0.1 update of the addon, I've noticed that gradients can't be inverted. I'd much rather have a vertical gradient that affects the top, rather than the bottom. Not sure if it's a bug, but it doesn't make much sense to me to have the gradient affecting the bottom.
Thanks again for wonderful addon!

And those of us that prefer the gradient affecting the top, don't understand your kind either. <grin>

Similar to right-handed versus left-handed, I suppose. :P

Kgpanels worked fine on 3.3.3 in window mode (maximixed),
but this however fails, as uiscale fucks up, when using
this mode in 4.0.1. Further explaining in this video:

The background textures can be fixed pretty easy.

- Go to active panels
- Fold out the panel you want to change
- Texture options
- On top at Name, change to solid instead of none!

Now you can fiddle again with the background color style in the panel itself and works like before.

mbergkotte is right. for those who have used kgpanels for a long while were just used to not having to do this.

As of the latest update, it sadly seems that updating the addon somehow deleted my Art folder. The folder itself and the files in it, are no longer anywhere to be found on my computer, which is quite disappointing as they were the only files I had.
