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.

Yes. You need to read the FAQ, which tells you in detail how to put up artwork for use in kgPanels. First, you need to create a folder in your addons folder, called MyTextures or something. Then you copy your textures/artwork into that folder. Never have things just floating around your addons folder. Next, you will have to enable your artwork in kgPanels by going to the second section in the options (like Art Repository or something I can't quite remember at the moment) and then choose "add new." Here you determine if it is a background (more than likely) or a border, you give it a unique name, then you point kgPanels to the location as so:

//Interface/Addons/MyTextures/mytexturefile.tga

Make sure to press "Okay" or enter after putting the information into the fields. After that, you create a new layout, then create a new panel, go to the texture options of that panel and select whatever texture you desire. If you have a texture, you have to set the background on the main options for that panel to "solid" unless you want it to be transparent. Just play around with things the worst that can happen is that you'll have to delete your layout. Read the FAQ though, there is lots of information there.

I set up these panels and got them perfect for me, but every time I log off the borders disappear once I log back in. The I have to manually go in and click the border size slider to make them reappear. Any suggestions?

to detect in your in a raid or party

local inRaid = UnitInRaid("player")
local inParty = UnitInParty("player")

if inRaid and GetNumRaidMembers() > 9 then
   -- in 10 man raid
elseif inRaid and GetNumRaidMembers() > 20 then
   -- in 20 man raid
elseif inParty and GetNumPartyMembers() > 4 then
   -- in a 5 man party
end

Thats the general gist of it, the numbers to check for are up to you.

to Check for a your pet

local hasPet = UnitExists("pet")

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?
