kgPanels

Table of Contents

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elseif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

What I'm after includes a few "variables". Somewhat difficult to explain. I use SimpleThreatMeter. I have made a set of panels to "frame" it. I cannot parent nor anchor to it. So, using scripts I would like to have the panel show during the following events.

1. In combat + 2. In party / raid (with or without pet active) 3. Not in party / raid WITH pet active.

and just always hide ooc. Here is what I have so far but this is lacking the party/raid check and has me somewhat baffled...

OnLoad if select(2, UnitClass("player")) == "HUNTER" then self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED") end self:Hide()

OnEvent if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then self:Hide() elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" and UnitExists("pet") then self:Show() end

Thanks for the help. Since I've been getting better at Kgpanels, I'm only loving it more and more. Thanks for the help.

I recently stopped using Discord Art due to it causing major lag, everyone recommended KG panels as the art mod to use, but I ran into a problem.

My image is 512x512 and previews of it show up in kg panels, but I cannot get it to show up in an actual panel (unless I click tile background ><).

here is the image if it helps: http://rapidshare.com/files/235373238/texture1.rar.html

I'm using this with Satrina's Buff Frames - which I have set to only show in combat (buffs and debuffs that is) - is there any way to anchor this to those two frames so that the two corresponding kgpanels only show up while in combat and while buffs or debuffs are present?

Parent your kgPanel frames to the SBF frame. Have to find the name of it using a script:

/script message(GetMouseFocus():GetName())

set a different active layout for the second cahracter. kgPanels saves layouts globally and set the active layout in each character profile. its done this way to save memory resoources.

I had an issue when trying to use the saved profiles. I saved the profile on one character (CharacterName1 - RealmName) and then copied that profile onto my other character's profile (CharacterName2 - RealmName) and any time I mad changes to 1 it changed the other. Is there a way to fix this?

Yes, they are different profiles.

Downloaded this Addon today, Went through this tutorial: , unzipped the folders and such, but when I set the background Texture as the panel i put into the art library, it doesn't show up. Only when i hit "tile size" does it appear, but very small. any one else having this issue?

My artwork is gone, too. I had the rothsquare texture from shared media as one of my borders and upon updating to the newest version, it gives me an error, saying it can't find it.

Well, I figured out my problem.. for some reason the curse updater uninstalled my Sharedmedia folder. I reinstalled it and it works now.
