ElvUI Login Screen and Character Select Glues

Version: 3.1.7

by: Eltreum [More]

This is not an addon, but a button, glue and frame replacement.

There are 3 versions: Red, Blue and Grey. Each version has 2 transparency versions: Regular (non transparent) and Transparent.

Installation

You'll download this file:
elvui_login_screen_and_character_select.zip

Choose your version of the game: Retail, Classic Era or Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

Inside the file the Folder structure is as follows:

Readme.md
Readme.txt
Game Version
> Blue
>>>>> Regular
>>>>>>>>Folders you need to extract
>>>>> Transparent
>>>>>>>>Folders you need to extract

> Grey
>>>>> Regular
>>>>>>>>Folders you need to extract
>>>>> Transparent
>>>>>>>>Folders you need to extract

> Red
>>>>> Regular
>>>>>>>>Folders you need to extract
>>>>> Transparent
>>>>>>>>Folders you need to extract

The Red, Blue and Grey folders mean the colored version you want, choose one and inside that folder you will find these folders:

Regular
Transparent

Meaning the type of button you want, regular or transparent buttons. Choose one and inside you'll find the following folders:

Buttons
CharacterCreate
CHATFRAME
COMMON
DialogFrame
FrameGeneral
friendsframe
Glues
HELPFRAME
Interface
MacroFrame
optionsframe
PaperDollInfoFrame
STORE
Tooltips
Vehicles

You need to extract these folders into

World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\ for Retail
World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\ for Classic
World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\ for Wrath of the Lich King Classic

If you extract them elsewhere they will not work.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic and Classic Fix:
Due to the way blizzard uses the highlights some places will have mismatching sizes since the files are used on more than one place, this happens on the default UI as well but its more hidden due to its appearance.
Classic will have different coloring despite using the same files due to the way the engine handles the glues

This addon is an update of https://www.tukui.org/addons.php?id=115

Uninstalling

In order to uninstall you'll need to navigate to your World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\ and then delete the following folders:

Buttons
CharacterCreate
CHATFRAME
COMMON
DialogFrame
FrameGeneral
friendsframe
Glues
HELPFRAME
Interface
MacroFrame
optionsframe
PaperDollInfoFrame
STORE
Tooltips
Vehicles

After deleting these folders the login screen and character select will return to normal after rebooting the game.
Do not delete the addon folder or you'll delete your addons

Thanks!

Try following this guide on wowhead https://www.wowhead.com/classic/guid...-wow-text-font

This guide doesn't explain how to change specifically the realm list/character select fonts. Help appreciated!

the fonts will replace on the login screen as well, Blizzard re-uses a lot of code and resources, there is no way to replace only on the Login Screen, it will also appear in game

I use ElvUI -- will replacing the fonts following this guide mess with my elvui/weakaura fonts? Thanks for the help!

no, it will only replace fonts when addons are not used or if the fonts selected in the addons are the default fonts from the game and not another one from the addon, which 99% of the time is the case as addons dont use default fonts usually

This video explains well how you can change the fonts on your menu interface.

Alot of textures especially borders are used by other frames too.

Without editing game files or creating an addon to replace/change the texture paths you can't achieve the default look while replacing the complete LoginScreen.

People could try to go without those parts (compromise) but that would look a bit weird in my opinion.

So either you have a scuffed LoginScreen or some game frames like the LFDFrame look a bit off.

Ofc its possible to complete it but also alot of work which includes maintaining.

As you mentioned its for people who already use replacements, textures or UI's like ElvUI.

And a big thing is to make textures work in different resolutions which is also alot of work and I highly respect that.

But still, I really like your edits and the style is matching my UI/helping me to create new stuff around it.

My UI is still in work (for a long time) and I also change/update alot of code to fix the round icons to make them match the frames.

I will probably share and release a bunch of addons, edits and UI related stuff (Textures, QoL) in the future but I can't tell when this exactly happens.

Theres alot of messy stuff to fix to actually make it user-friendly and with shadowlands I am not that active (again) anymore.

Most likely you didnt replaced all textures, at least with the grey regular-pack the lfg-frame should be skinned completely.

I edited most blizzard textures but for these parts everything worked out of the box.

See my UI: https://imgur.com/a/geeUwI8

Since I play with the default UI but replaced/edited almost all possible textures I am not 100% sure if some parts are missing but consider to complete it with your own textures or some similar replacements like: Aurora-Missing-Textures
