Hey Carb, AI-Art

Hey I just became part of the AI-Art team

Wondered if we could get together to talk about skinning carbonite with what we do over there. We currently support things like auctioneer, etc. Wanted to get some input from you guys and see what you think about skinning carb.

I glanced at the page, but I don't have the time currently. I will try it out and reply back when I can.

I also use tukui and am in the process of skinning the windows for carbonite.

Its pretty simple stuff almost all window calls look like this:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- Carbonite Quest List
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    if IsAddOnLoaded("Carbonite") then
       local carbonitequestlist = CreateFrame("Frame", dmpanel, NxQuestList)
       carbonitequestlist:SetFrameLevel(1)
       carbonitequestlist:SetFrameStrata("medium")
       carbonitequestlist:SetPoint("top",0,2)
       carbonitequestlist:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", NxQuestList, "TOPRIGHT", 0, -30)
       carbonitequestlist:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", NxQuestList, "BOTTOMLEFT", -0, 1)
       carbonitequestlist:SetScale(1)
       
       carbonitequestlist:SetBackdrop( {
         bgFile = BLANK_TEXTURE,
         edgeFile = BLANK_TEXTURE,
         tile = false, tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 1,
         insets = { left = -1, right = -1, top = -1, bottom = -1 }
       })
       carbonitequestlist:SetBackdropColor(.1,.1,.1,1)
       carbonitequestlist:SetBackdropBorderColor(.6,.6,.6,1)
       end

Basic stuff really just changing names etc. Just curious though.. how many windows are there? So far Ive found 19 menu's... Anymore I need to know about? rofl

I don't know the exact count. I can test it when your done and tell you if you missed anything.

Ok... so after adding a bunch of hand edited LUA to tuk's UI, which by the way is here http://www.tukui.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=11235#p11235 I realized what people were trying to do was, skin the squared version of the minimap that gets integrated into the skinned google like map cabronite makes. Ok now that I understand what they wanted, I guess I should rephrase the question.


Tuk does an excellent job of skinning the original MM and I want it to move and be integrated with Carbonite, but I dont want carbonite to skin it or move the buttons at all. I realize this would require some hand LUA editing, which is fine. I completely understand it would be me taking responsibility for it. We have a community of novice LUA editors who are carb users wanting to integrate carb into the look of tuk without changing the base functionality of carbonite.

So whatever code says to skin the MM can that simply be commented out?

In the Minimap page of the options window we have these two settings:

"Move Minimap into Carbonite map (reload required)"
"Move Minimap buttons into Carbonite button window (reload required)"

Those determine if we try to control the minimap and buttons. I am not sure by your description what you are wanting to do. You could turn those off and do whatever you want to the minimap.
