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.

First of all.... Nice addon I have played with it and have setup a nice UI with it.. But have a question regarding scripts.. (I am a totally noob with scripts).

What is am looking for ?

I have placed the (group) kg panels on the same spot as where the Unit frames appearing when people join the group, what i like to get is that screen is empty from these panels and that they are loading automaticly when a player enter the group. I believe that can be done on onload.. not sure.

pls help me out tnx

Hi, excellent addon btw :)

I was wondering:

I'm trying to make the healthbar look like it rises from some other part off my ui, when i target someone or entering combat. I got all the other stuff working in the script but can't find out haw to access the objects (HPBar) coordinates from the scripting in kgpanels.

Tried stuff like kgPanelsDB.global.layouts.<panelname>.test.absolute_bg.URx self:setoffset

Don't know what to call for and where i should insert the new cords.

It seems that since 3.2 I cant use profiles within kgPanels anymore. I deleted all the SavedVariables and started from scratch, created a new profile for one of my characters, then logged onto the other character, created a new profile for the 2nd character, copied the first profile and then modified it. However, regardless of which profile i'm working on it always changes the settings for both of them. Might be an issue with the "Copy From" function.

Hey kagero - I have seen a couple of your posts on pitbull4 threads, but i have a question about the linking of kgPanles to the show and hide of the pitbull frames. This is in an effort to remove the lag present when using the normal RegisterEvent process.

Any insights? Googled the hell out of it and cant find any hooks to pitbull.

Hi, I posted an issue on curse Im having and today's update didn't fix it unfortunately. I have two panels that are parented to My Unit frames, for some reason the panel with Background strata is appearing over the panel with Low strata. This gets fixed temporarily by quickly adjusting the background panel's level from 0 to 20 then back to 0. But when I relog the strata goes back to cover the low strata panel.

Is this a known issue after 3.2, because my settings have not changed and it worked before the patch. I have tried everything, re parenting, diff stratas, and new panels. I dont know what else to do to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks so much for any help.

if you getting a big framerate drop its most likely a script your using. after the panels are loaded kgpanels uses no cpu anymore.

Is it possible to do something like, if a panel is attached to the chat box, it will be able to shrink with the fading text? So like if all the text is faded out the panel will not be visible.

After patch 3.2, I have a massive framerate drop(I go from 60 to 7) with KgPanels. Has anyone else noticed this, and if so is it a simple fix or does the addon neeed to be updated?

Thanks, Safturento

I have been having problems since 3.2 as well. Specifically the strata on 3 panels is not being remembered on logout. I have 2 panels layered for three different parts of my UI. The background strata panels are appearing over the low strata panels. When I fix this by changing background panels to low then back to background all appears fixed until logout, then same thing happens. This is the only issue I have noticed since 3.2 but its a big one for me as these panels are a focus point in my UI. Hope this can be fixed, and thanks for all your time and efforts!

I wish I could find clearer documentation for anchoring panels to specific frames, e.g. panels that only show/hide when the target frame is in use. When attempting to use the anchor feature, it seems to work sporadically or throw "nil value" errors at me. I have found a few random scripts, but adding script text does something weird where once I add an onload script it disappears, and then all other script boxes are uneditable. Overall trying to get frames to appear or disappear dynamically seems quite buggy.
