ShinyBuffs

Version: 1.2.2a

by: Seerah [More]

Features:

skin buffs/debuffs
move buffs/debuffs
change colors, texures, and font
able to use class colors (with support for !ClassColors and CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS)
change size of buffs/debuffs independently
debuff icons are shaded by debuff type (temporary enchant icons shaded tench color, too)
option to display debuff type as border instead of icon shading **new
change the number of buffs per row
able to switch to all white duration text
option to show who your buff is from (only works with valid unitIDs, not some random passerby or guildie not in your party)

See the screenshots for some examples!

Limitations:
These are just the regular, old Blizzard buffs - but prettier! As such, you CAN cancel buffs during combat! However, you cannot rearrange the buffs, filter buffs, etc. The buffs/debuffs are also not movable independently - it's the standard layout, though you can change their sizes to make debuffs more visible in addition to changing where they're all anchored.

Also, the timer bar does not currently move for temporary enchants - it stays at 1. I may figure out a way to put that in in the future, but the API for temporary enchants isn't as friendly as that for normal buffs.

However, just in the recent nef's fight, I pop righteous fury to pull the adds in P1, and then I'm unable to right click to cancel the buff. Any idea what should I do to solve the problem? BTW, sry for my poor english writing.

No, it's entirely possible to move them to the top left. There are only the limitations to consider, as stated in the addon description.

As a side note, in case the notifications don't work properly (I know I've had issues with them before) I've posted a bug report for an error. It appears to only occur when "mounted" and you receive a debuff, details in the bug report.

Trying v0.2 (deleted saved variables from 0.1 before logging on), nice improvements. Except for one thing.

The buff font is consistently overlapping the status bar on all buffs with both of them showing, making the bar very difficult to see. Doesn't matter how small you make the buff font, it still overlaps either all or a portion (if you set the font to a minimum invisible size of 6) of the status bars.

Only when you make the buff frame size an unusable (on smaller UI resolutions) 50 or larger does the font/bar overlapping stop being a problem.

Hope this can be fixed.

The duration text is supposed to overlap a touch. With the various fonts that I have tried, at default settings (even with the font shadows), I can see the bar fine. Perhaps try a different font (some have the numbers set below the letters) or a different font size? I have some changes coming in the future with regards to the text.

Would it be possible to have an option to switch between having the buffs flow normally (as they are now, right to left), or to have them flow in the opposite direction from left to right?

It's no biggie if it's not possible. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

That's part of what's listed in the description under "Limitations".

No. It has its own method of skinning. I could scrap almost the whole addon if I wanted ButtonFacade support.

Not to mention that I don't even use it.

Skyggesang A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	Thank you so much for this addon. I had been looking for something to handle the buff frames for a while and did not need all of the extra features of SBF and many of the other addons. This is perfect and you are wonderful! P.S. I love TipTop and PocketPlot too! Last edited by Skyggesang : 02-16-11 at 01:14 PM.

Those that i experienced it with are the Ancient tree in Darkshore - Unfortunately i forgot to save the lua error and i can't replicate the scenario since i completed the quest. Other than that, this is a hell of an awesome addon, keep up the good work!

Hrmm... I thought I had fixed that... As to your request, read below.
