    Quse Boss Styles  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: v1.52
    by: Qupe [More]

    These are Boss-Mod stylings for

    (although will work for anything, really)

    This file includes DBM and BigWigs skinning that match Quse UI - anything with a pixel border!
    * Both styles are standalone, the necessary media files are included in the download *

    -----------

    Skins are based on Wildbreath and Haleth's DBM style and !ninwigs by Nin. Credits belong to the appropriate authors and my thanks go to them!

    HOW TO:
    - Drag and drop your desired boss mod skin into your addon folder.
    - Bananas!

    NOTE:
    - Fonts are hardcoded in their lua files to the pixel font that matches QuseUI. If you wish to change them, search for "rondaseven" and change the font path to whatever you prefer.
    - DBM dummy bars in the options window will look funky, and the style won't stick properly (in test mode only) if you press "Drag Me" or start test bars more than once while they're running. This doesn't affect the style, just a visual bug while test mode/drag bars are up.

    -----------

    Any help is appreciated - and not at all required.

    I do this for fun but if you enjoy my interface and would like to show your appreciation, click below:

    border padding
    first of all.... thank you for putting this out.

    got a few problems though...
    as seen on the picture the padding of the bar borders comes out kind of weird.
    do you have any idea what the problem could be?

    another thing i reckognized is the fact that i can't change the font ingame.
    i can change bar texture, sizing ect. but not the font. is that done on purpose? and if so, where would i need to change the font if i ever feel like it.

    thanks

    just a little heads up, you can make your own layout in bigwigs that people choose, that way you can update and overwrite as much as you like.

    Keep up the goodies!

    The border texture probably won't work if you don't have the sharedmedia file from QuseUI - I'm not sure if that's what your problem is but that's what it looks like? I'm not totally sure what could be causing that if the missing texture isn't the problem.

    The text is set in the lua file, open it up and find this:
    Code:
    local f = media:Fetch("font", db.font)
	bar.candyBarLabel:SetFont("Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\fonts\\iflash705.ttf", 6, "OUTLINEMONOCHROME")
	bar.candyBarLabel:SetShadowOffset(0,0)
	bar.candyBarDuration:SetFont("Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\fonts\\iflash705.ttf", 6, "OUTLINEMONOCHROME")
	bar.candyBarDuration:SetShadowOffset(0,0)
    Replace it with this:
    Code:
    local f = media:Fetch("font", db.font)
	bar.candyBarLabel:SetFont(f, 6, "OUTLINEMONOCHROME")
	bar.candyBarLabel:SetShadowOffset(0,0)
	bar.candyBarDuration:SetFont(f, 6, "OUTLINEMONOCHROME")
	bar.candyBarDuration:SetShadowOffset(0,0)
    If you want to use whatever pixel font you have in your interface make sure you set "6" to whatever you want (note: 6 size is the correct setting for any pixel font with a native size of 8).

    This was my mistake, will be fixed in the next update.

    NiN:
    I thought, this was basically the only way to include your own style (overwriting the bar plugin lua)? Found Game99's bigwig style on wowinterface and I think he did the same thing - just now his is included in the BigWigs download by default now - like the Tuk style.

    EDIT: Acutally, shouldn't call any border file, I'm not sure why they look funny.
    EDIT #2: Ok, think I found it, I'll toss a new update tonight with the fixed font/border issue!

    I load "my" style in bigwigs as its own addon, so i dont have too think about loosing the "theme" when updating or adding / adjusting the plugin codes that are included with bigwigs.

    I can send you the code whenever i get home if you want.

    That would be amazing, guess I'm not surprised that it could be done the same way DBM styles can be done.

    great. cant wait.

    figured out what caused the problem with the weird border look btw. ...
    scaling problem. could have thought about that earlier. its just working at 1,0... anything above will screw it up. problem with that is people on a higher solution will probably need to change bar and font size.

    just wanted to let you know. thanks again

    Did the same odd offset issues happen with the latest update?

    Noticed a lot of the offset variables were set to weird numbers, tried nice even numbers to see if it made any difference (I'm not really lua experience enough to know if this would make a difference).

    Got the BigWigs layout going, should be good to go as soon as I upload it.

    Most scales do work for me but i do have the same issue sometimes, just gotta play around with the slider and find one that works out for you, the odd part is that if i use testmode and spam so it shows me 10 bars. 1 or 2 of those has its border off by a bit and the rest is just fine.

    ya, thats what i experienced too. its just weird.
    like i wrote earlier today, i fixed the problem for myself (1980res) by adjusting bar height and font size manually. works like a charm and isnt really difficult to do.

    respective lines are : 1127, 1137 and 1139 in bars.lua
    (ingame scaling: 1.0)

    maybe people can work with that as long as quse is working out a masterplan
