I figured out what the issue is. The length of the name i give to the art element when adding it (the file name length did not seem to make a difference however) was too short.

I was trying to label my elements with short names (like going from DemonicLeft to DL) To make the lists easier to read. Well apparently the names have to be at least 3 characters long.

My test:

• Part 1) Removed the WTF and started fresh. Enabled only kgpanels initially. Loaded my original art under the element name D1. The art shows in preview. Create a layout named Test. Create a new panel. Select the texture D1. During the selection the art is also showing in the preview. Set the panel color to white and slide the alpha slider to 100%. Box shows as totally white.

• Part 2) Add a second texture under the name Center using the renamed art from my first example. Create a new panel in the same layout and set the texture as center. It shows as would be expected.

• Part 3) Delete D1 element and re-add it under the name Middle (original art). Make a new panel and set it as the middle texture which works just fine.

• Part 4) Using the original art i add it several times over under various names (D12, D123, C1 and C12) and so on to see if its the numbers throwing it off. All worked except for the C1 name. So i concluded it was the name of the element causing it not to load in the panel.

During parts 2-4 I had enabled bugsack to see if any errors dropped and none did. Did a quick retest of 2-4 without it and got the same results so it had nothing to do with a reload.

Hope that helps. If its not something worth trying to correct it might be worth while to add a note on element name length in the FAQ in-game.

P.S. Sorry it took so long to reply. Had a busy week. =)

Yeah i spent about an hour trying everything i could think of to get them to show up in an actual panel. Eventually i just moved the files to a new folder. Opened my graphics editor and re-saved them without making any changes short of the names of the files (removed any capitalization basically) and importing them again to the addon. Not sure why but it worked.

My only guess is there is something in my saved variables causing the issue. And being that i have roughly 20 saved layouts deleting it wasnt much of an option. Suffice to say everything is working now.

I have a back up of my WTF folder from 3 or so days ago. I may experiment with it and see if i can track the problem down.

Will post back if i find anything.

Are there panels for a 1024x768 resolution?

Running in to an oddity. I'm adding some background textures to my library and they show up on mouse over just fine. When i go to add them to a panel however nothing appears. I just get the standard panel. Changing color, opacity or anything else works as you would expect with the exception of the art not showing. It only happens to one specific set of textures. And for all versions of them. The rest of them work as intended.

I'm certain the textures are set up properly for showing in game as i can load them in a copy of eepanels 2 i still have around for some reason.

I made sure that im up to the current version before posting.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Just did a test and if i tile the image i can at least see it but as soon as i turn off tiling it disappears again.

can some1 help me... when im using omen i want the kgpanel behind it fade when my omen fades... but i dont know how it works can someone help me?????

I was wondering if any of you could help me.

I need a script that will remove a backdrop for my unitframe when I have no target and show the backdrop when I have a target. I have tried a few of the commands on the sample scripts site, but I can't seem to get any of them to work. Please help me.

no where does it say what this addon does. what does it do and what is it for?

From the description: "Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels"

If that doesn't make sense, basically it lets you add your own custom images (panels) to your UI, so you could completely redesign the UI with your own graphics.

Its a great concept but its just too much involved on getting everything so it doesnt looked squished.Ive been working on it for 2+ hours and have yet to get it so it isnt squished.

After adding multiple pannels to my UI when i exit or log out i get major hang. Anyone know how i can fix this?

Just installed this so that I can use Shared Media-Blizzard. I watched the YouTube videos which helped a lot. Now the only thing I need some help with is setting up the script so that I can put the Elite Dragon and Rare Dragon pictures on my target when they are Rare and/or Elite. Anyone have a script that would work for this? Also, step by step instructions on setting up a panel to do this would be great.

Figured out my issue. If anyone is having the same "problem" you need to make a new layout per profile if you want to change things seperately for each. Easy way is to export current layout, then import it under a new name. That way Profile A = Layout A and Profile B = Layout B. Hope this is useful to some.

*edit, i have looked at the vid but that dun help me...

Is there any form of guide how to craete panels anywhere? I have downloaded and played with all the settings, but sofar ui have failed to generate any form of panel... i change pretty much everything around and test, but not the slightest spec of graphic is added...

Have you read the Wiki/FAQ?? http://www.wowace.com/projects/kg-panels/pages/kg-panel-wiki

It explains all of that.
