Skada Damage Meter

231 - Skada barheight not in sync with backdrop

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and install ElvUI 2.1.8
2. Enable ElvUI and Skada and log in.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The bars should cover the backdrop completely using the set barheight.
Instead there is some room left at the bottom.

What version of the product are you using?
1.3-7

Do you have an error log of what happened?
No error

Please provide any additional information below.
I am using ElvUI version 2.1.8 which automatically skins Skada.

    I realize that this behavior isn't a bug but rather the way skada works now.

    I must admit I liked the old way better, the extra room at the bottom doesn't really look good. Even when not using ElvUI it is hard to resize Skada in a way that doesn't show extra room at the bottom.

    Thanks for your continious work on this addon nonetheless.

    I'm not completely sure what changed since r327 (or so) then.

    I just know I didn't have that extra room at the bottom until I updated from r327 to the latest version 1.3-7. I just tried disabling all addons except skada and I notice the blue backdrop color with a little extra room at the bottom. I then reverted to an old version of skada (1.2-34) and it very much looks like the bars fill out the backdrop completely.

    The only difference I could see in the config is that the options for max bars seem to have been removed.

    ElvUI sets a fixed height and width of the backdrop in order to make it fit into a frame in the bottom right corner. I would think that the barheight should be set to a value that makes them use up the entire area (in this case barheight = 16.67 as shown in screenshot) but it appears that Skada doesn't like a value that isn't a round number. Any way to make it accept the value that ElvUI automatically sets?

    Not sure I follow. The height of the backdrop is not *supposed* to change according to the number of bars.

    The number of bars shown is correct for me, in that it shows as many bars as can be fit. There will be room left at the bottom if another bar can not be added.
