PortalBox 

Nice addon, I just found it a few days ago and I love it. It is one of those simple, goodlooking addons that just does what it should do.

This made me remove the ugly portalbar I had on the screen before.

Only thing I felt missing was an LDB launcher so I could remove the minimap icon. I like to click, but I also like a clean minimap :-) So I made a simple LDB launcher for PortalBox and uploaded it as an additional addon over here (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...PortalBox.html)

First of all, I'm glad you've updated this mod. I really do appreciate mod authors and their work, especially considering it's not a paying gig. Good job on fixing the close-after-cast feature too.

But as for the compact mode/size discussion, I share the point of view of the majority of people who commented on this mod back when you first posted version 0.7. I wish it didn't fill so much of the screen, even for the brief amount of time it's up there. I've already edited the scale values in the appropriate places in the .lua and .xml files to make the window somewhat smaller. But if I reduce the scale values enough to make the window as small as I'd like, the buttons are really tiny. So the main problem is the background graphic itself. Sure it's pretty. But pretty isn't what I want out of this type of mod. I don't need titles over the buttons to tell me which ones are Teleports and which ones are Portals either. I really just want to see the buttons themselves, and those just long enough for me to click the one I want.

So here's what I think you should do when/if you write a newer version:

1. Leave the default size and graphic the way it is, for people who want it to be huge and look pretty.

2. Create a size slider, or add a couple of extra compact modes, for people who want the window to be much smaller than it is now (Yes, I do use UI scale and have that turned down a lot already, and it's still too big.)

3. Add a windowless mode, where the only thing that's shown is two rows of buttons. Although it's not a big deal, the only thing I wouldn't mind seeing in this mode is a city abbreviation (IF, SW, Shat, etc.) superimposed on the button itself, or perhaps in a small title bar right above the buttons. You might call this mode utilitarian, but many people would call it keeping their UI clean and space-efficient.

4. Keybindings. I created a macro on my G15 keyboard to type in "/port" for me so I can open and close the mod with one keypress. But there really ought to be a direct keybinding available for this. (I can't stand cluttered minimaps either, so that button was the first thing to go.) It might also be cool to have the ability to keybind each teleport or portal individually.

Any chance of including an option to lock the location of the minimap button? It would be especially nice for those of us who don't attach it to the minimap.

I posted a version that fixes all the errors in 4.0.1.

Great work on a fix! I hope iindigo seriously considers updating this officially. I still love it and use it.
