ButtonFacade, with its associated library, is a small add-on that allows for the dynamic skinning of button-based add-ons. It is composed of two individual components:

LibButtonFacade
A small library which provides addon authors with the tools needed to skin their add-ons.

ButtonFacade
A GUI for the LibButtonFacade library that allows users to adjust their settings on a per-add-on, per-group and per-button basis.

History

The idea for ButtonFacade and its format were conceived by JJ Sheets, the original author. It was based loosely on the concept of cyCircled, which has long since been discontinued.

After some discussion, it was decided that the project would best serve authors and users alike if the skinning engine were provided as a library and a separate GUI were written to allow for configuration changes.

The library was written in a manner that required add-on authors to add support for ButtonFacade and to store the settings provided by the ButtonFacade GUI in the add-on's own saved variable file.

At some point, JJ Sheets stopped playing World of Warcraft and stopped maintaining ButtonFacade. I took over the project in an attempt to become familiar with programming for World of Warcraft and have since been keeping the project up to date.
