Yes... I have got to ask

Does anyone know of an already existing AH enlargement option?

That's what mine looks like - yeah I know the strings are borked, will fix at some point. But it's too small :P

I just meh...

==== edit ====

I can get it resized - somewhat, just the texturing is being a pita....

ˆ^Framestack shows it is resized.

But ... overriding the textures proves a pita...

AuctionFrame:SetSize(924, 447) -- same height, new width
-- AuctionFrame:SetTexture(0, 0, 0, .8)
AuctionFrameBrowse:SetSize(850, 447)
AuctionFrameBid:SetSize(850, 447)
AuctionFrameAuctions:SetSize(850, 447)

SetTexture obviously won't go - CreateTexture works, but can't actually use a texture

Edit:
Wow I am SO dumb at times. Serves me right for trying this when I have a massive headache....
Moonwitch, you should create a texture and ACTUALLY NAME IT!! So you can set a texture to THAT NAME...

Yeah... I know

Getting closer, but still not able to get the AH textures...

[Tonyleila]

Did you know you can edit your posts?^^

[MoonWitch]

Yep, I did.

But I wanted to clearly show some vague progress and keep a separation thing going... :P

There; fixed it. Was easier to just create a new post earlier.

The problem with the textures is the same problem found throughout Blizzard's code -- they hardcode all the texture sizes and positions, rather than using sensible relative anchoring.

For a simple example, if you have a button with a left end texture, a right end texture, and a middle texture that should grow with the button width, you can either do it The Blizzard Way, which is annoying to set up in the first place and even more annoying to resize later:

button:SetSize(100, 25)

texLeft:SetPoint("TOPLEFT")
texLeft:SetSize(25, 25)

texMiddle:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 25, 0)
texMiddle:SetSize(50, 25)

texRight:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 75, 0)
texRight:SetSize(25, 25)

... or you can do it this way, which is slightly more code but much less mental effort to set up, and zero effort of any kind to resize later:

button:SetSize(100, 25)

texLeft:SetPoint("TOPLEFT")
texLeft:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT")
texLeft:SetWidth(25)

texRight:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT")
texRight:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")
texRight:SetWidth(25)

texMiddle:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", texLeft, "TOPRIGHT")
texMiddle:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", texRight, "BOTTOMLEFT")

Now it won't matter how you resize the button; the textures will always be placed correctly and stretch to fill the button.

And, probably not relevant to the auction house or other UI panel frames, but if you wanted to make sure that the left/right textures on the button were always square (eg. in the above example, if you make the button 50px tall instead of 25px, the left/right textures automatically grow to 50px tall, but remain 25px wide) you could set an OnSizeChanged script:

button:SetScript("OnSizeChanged", function(self, width, height)
    texLeft:SetWidth(height)
    texRight:SetWidth(height)
end)

For the auction house, just nuke all the background texture points and re-set them as in the above example, with the left/right sides anchored to the left/right sides of the window, and the middle texture stretched between them.

I will try that one..
Also using your phone to browse this forum sucks pretty hard.

Tonight I shall prevail. Thanks Phanx (which my phone autocorrects to plant.... Sorry.)

Didn't we just have a conversation about how useless autocorrection is?

Yes, yes we did.

You make me smile.. at 1AM when I am working - not so tirelessly right now - on a birthday card

Ok, it's stretched, not tiled. But w00t.

Also : Will coin this Cialis.

[Phanx]

With textures like these, you can't really tile them, since they don't just contain the "background" part, but also the "borders" and "button cutouts" parts. You could add additional texture objects and slice up the textures using texcoords, but it would be a lot of work to get it looking right, and wouldn't actually look all that much different than the stretched version.

[MoonWitch]

So all that's left is ask Tekkub for permission. Irregardless of his license :P

Indeed it should.

Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?

That makes my brain hurt.

It's got its own Wikipedia entry and everything!
