33 - Integration in Grid2
I think your add-on is the best available for what it does, but in an effort to consolidate things on my screen, I find it a real pain to have effectively two separate raid frames to monitor. It's inefficient, takes up more screen real estate, and can contribute to information overload. It may seem odd but the feature I find the most useful and that switched me back after trying SmartDebuff was that your audio alert system is the best. What I'd like to have though is a way to consolidate my visual feedback into one display.
The functionality I'd love from you is either (1) write an extension to be integrable with Grid so that the Decursive muf icons can be displayed as corner or center icons. This would be preferred because I feel your add-on does a better job at handling debuffs. This would be awesome! Alternately, (2) don't disable everything when "Show the Micro Unit Frame" is unchecked. I can then use the Grid debuff to display visual alerts. Not the preferred solution because your filtering and Grid's may not be congruent (i.e I may get an audio alert and no visual indication of who's debuffed or vice-versa.)
Using something like the Clique add-on may be necessary for this all to work but I think a synergistic approach with Decursive-Grid-Clique is far better than having to monitor multiple unit frames, regardless of how compact and wonderful each may be.

trogdorhunter Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:40:34Thanks for the quick reply. Don't be afraid, I believe in you! :)) In all seriousness though, I get it. Grid is a mess to wrap your head around. I'll keep my fingers crossed for some day.
I tried to follow your recommendation but the transparency of the live list goes from 0 -> 0.8... can't seem to make it 100% transparent. I figured I'd share my work-around in case anyone else stumbles upon rhis ticket looking to do what I am. I went with hiding the live list, making the MUF show max 1 unit, then setting MUF transparency to 100%. This still had the small potential to get in the way of mouse clicks, but I managed to find a UI element that sat on top of the MUF.
Thanks for all you're doing!

Archarodim Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:53:04You can already achieve (2) by leaving the live-list enabled, with tool-tips disabled, number of units to show set to 1 and alpha set to 0 and with the sound alert enabled of course.
(1) is not in my todo list for now, Grid is so difficult to use and configure as a simple user... I'm afraid writing a module would be even more difficult.
