SUF Missing Font Shadows in 8.2 #1238


Closed
  • MetalMusicMan created this issue Jun 26, 2019

    Getting an odd lack of font shadows since 8.2, only on Shadowed Unit Frames and not on other UI elements. Fonts used to have a prominent shadow behind them and now barely have one at all (not talking about the Outline setting, that was always at "none" for me).

    Same here, texts are straight up unreadable if you are a priest or a rogue, or click a rogue or a priest since their nameplates are bright and the fonts doesnt have any shadow.

    This for me too! I was just investigating settings trying to see what had changed or was wrong.

    Definitely no font shadow - thank you.

     

    Hoping for a fix =)

    Still keen to get this one fixed, just checked and still present in the latest update. Cheers!

    The shadow appears to still be there for me. Which font and font size do you use?

     

    You can also check if your shadow settings are still there by doing in-game:

    /dump ShadowUF.db.profile.font

     

    And check the output if both shadowColor and shadowX/shadowY are still present

    Also try the  latest alpha (4.2.4-2), I got some feedback on what might have changed in 8.2 and adjusted the shadows accordingly

    Thanks for reply. I am using Myriad Condensed Web at size 11. I did test some other fonts and sizes but no change.

     

    Updated to 4.2.4-2 but no change unfortunately.

    Screen cap below, including print out of the above command.

     

     

    Hope that helps! If it's something I am missing by all means let us know :)

    Cheers

    I've tweaked the shadow size and its showing properly again now.

     

    Try out 4.2.4-10

    Confirmed resolved.

    That indeed is back to normal. Thank you so much.
