AppearanceTooltip
AppearanceTooltip shows you the appearance of items that you see, to help you know whether you actually want to obtain their delicious appearances for your collection. It does this by attaching a Model frame to the item tooltip, showing your character wearing the item.
It can also show an icon in various places to let you know whether you know this appearance or not. These places are:
- Bags (including various bag addons)
- Loot window
- Encounter Journal
- Merchants
The icon will be violet if you can learn the appearance on the current character, blue if you know the appearance but from a different item, and yellow if you don't know it but it's for another class.
Less importantly, it also improves the default UI so that the "You don't know this appearance" messages will appear on items which don't apply directly to your class! This means you'll be able to log into your Warrior, and tell that your Priest doesn't yet know this cool BoE appearance that just dropped.
Config is in the Interface Options, or type /aptip
You can choose whether to:
- Show your character with your current outfit, or naked apart from your previewed item (how lewd)
- Zoom in on the item you're previewing
- Strategically remove some items from your character to show the previewed item (e.g. for shirts, remove your chest and tabard)
- Only show for items your current character can actually transmog to
- Spin the model / move it with the mousewheel

Hi! I'm feeling a bit dumb here...especially being the first person to post in over 2 years...
When I have "rotate with mousewheel" turned on, it doesn't spin when I scroll my mousewheel. Am I doing something wrong, or maybe this feature isn't what I'm expecting it to be? The automatic spin works, but I don't want that.
Additionally, it feels like when I have "zoom on worn items" turned on, it's TOO zoomed in, and cuts off the edges of items (and on some characters, like my female highmountain tauren, some items aren't even visible at all in the tooltip as they are outside the little window).
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
The tooltip always shows the Normal version of a weapon even if you try to preview another variant (like heroic or mythic). Is there a fix for this? I'm using the latest alpha version.
Digging through the code it seems that the issue is in line 348 of addon.lua where it just passes the base id for the item as a parameter. However I have no clue how to fix this. Any help will be appreciated :D
Edit: I should mention that this only occurs when "Zoom on held items" option is enabled!
Edit 2: OK, I couldn't wait for an update so I went ahead and actually fixed this!
The solution is that you have to use model:SetItemAppearance and use the appearance id for the itemlink. You can get the appearance id with C_TransmogCollection.GetAppearanceSourceInfo

if you can add the following option, great, otherwise what can i edit myself in the files so that:
the location the appearance model frame displays is always static i.e., always in the upper left or upper right corner of the screen?
i find that even with the option to display it above/below, or next to the comparison tootip, i'm always getting drastic overlap sooner or later...
I'm sure you noticed, but overlaps with Azerite Armors.

An absolute fan of this addon, do you have any plans on updating it for Battle for Azeroth? It would be a huge help!
Any plans to update for BfA 8.0.1? Thank you!
Appearance tooltip doesn't zoom in on the allied races.
Is it possible to change the dimensions of the preview? I don't mind if I have to tinker with the LUA files, just point me in the right direction º,.,º
Any way to adjust the zoom amount? zoomWorn sometimes is too zoomed in but setting it to "false" is too zoomed out. Either setting a static zoom amount or adding another modifier to zoom the preview possible?
Thank you!
Found a fix for the configuration option updates not sticking:
A blizzard API change was made:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20758856637
Which was causing a fatal error when the check boxes were toggled in the configuration screen.
To fix the issue I made the following change:
In config.lua update line 9 to:
PlaySound(checked and 856 or 857)
Unfortunately the colours of items are wrong for some weapons/gear in Mythic Hellfire Citadel. For example, the 'Maul of Tyranny' that drops from Mythic Tyrant Velhari shows as red in the addon's tooltips, but is actually a green item (as shown when equipped or in the collections journal).
Bugs aside, thanks for the addon! It replaced MogIt for me.
Addon options don't save. Unchecking checkboxes automatically turns them back on as soon as you close the options menu.
Any way to remove or change the color of the white border on the tooltip? Can't find anything in the lua.
i also use moveanything so that my bag tooltips are in the lower right corner of the screen. it's really annoying to mouseover stuff and then it obscures your bags and pointer - now -
_most_ of the time this isn't a problem, however, anytime in-game i hearth or go through a loading screen, afterwards when i m/o moggable items, the appearance tooltip is now displaying directly on top of the right-side tooltip which looks very bad and messy. there must be a way to force this check so that it knows where it's appearing each time right?
i've already tried the options to display it left/right or above/below, nothing will prevent this issue from occuring.
please help i love the addon but i get so triggered when the nice tooltip suddenly starts displaying right on top of the item's tooltip !!
Really nice addon! Much better than the rest that show items on tooltips. I love it how it removes all gear that might obstruct the viewed item and it zooms in. Just perfect! Hope you get more recognition for your work, friend ^^
Edit: Is it possible to add an option for how much zoomed in you are on the preview?
