Hey there, now that you have renamed this and are updating it again can I beg for a QoL visual feature for something i've always wanted... can you possibly add in the ability to either show just the border on the bottom part so a flat line across, no rounded edges.. or just add the ability for us to have a checkbox and an option where we say Top or Bottom and it places a line on that side and you could even have the ability for us to set the Height of the line so that way we can make our ultimate dream UI's :)

Is there any plans to add an option to change the font outline? :) Ty 4 great addon.

In reply to kiatra_: that's too bad these are fontstrings so adding the font outline is so cheap and literally 2 seconds of config time for something that would make the users happier, that way they could just make the text look really good even thought he font rendering isn't the best in wow so when you dont have outlines on text and dont have a colored background behind it, it becomes really hard to read.

In reply to kiatra_: Its your addon! Whatever makes you happier <3

Thank your for keeping working on it, have found memories of it, switched becuase Titan was getting very bloated back then and all the memory savings by using ACE libraries, every MB counted when you had 512MB of RAM :D

Latest update, including migration (thank you for introducing that! great QoL for the millions of people using Arcana), has resolved all critical issues based on my testing with profiles and saved data prior to change and post change. Good iteration!

Fading of bars in non-combat scenarios next? :D

In reply to kiatra_: Well, even so you've just helped 10,000 actual real people not have so hard a time with the migration :) Great work on this.

Looking forward to the transparency stuff. I'll be happy to code review too, or whatever else comes to mind for help.

In reply to kiatra_: The crucial difference is that there doesn't seem to be a way to trigger opacity changes based on mouseover - only in combat. So, ideally I want to have Arcana bars that are 30% visible (bar and modules faded to 30% visibility) and then on mouseover the bar and modules fade in to 80%.

Right now, at least as far as I can tell, there's an all-or-nothing opacity slider (new), in-combat opacity condition, and bar-only opacity setting (indirectly, based on 'texture' alpha)

A simple overarching "opacity of bar, bar+modules, and each mapped to a few configurable conditions (e.g., combat state, mouseover)" would set Arcana apart and eliminate the need for other addons to handle this.
