!Beautycase
 

Hello,

does anyone know if there's a tutorial for !Beautycase or know how to use it? I'm not into .lua coding and have no idea how to start.

thanks

I thought that when you opened the lua file. It had a section at the top that explained exactly how to use the addon.

Instructions are at the top of the lua file.

basicly it's a line like this

myframename = Frame you want too apply border too.

R,G,B = color

The last 8 digits are for adjusting the border depending on what you applied it too. too make it look perfect.

I want to create frames for power auras. Do I just use CreateBorder(Power Auras, 12, R, G, B, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) ? That's what I don't understand.

You'll have to figure out what framename the addons gives to its frame :)

for example Bartender action bar 1 would have a frame name similar to "BT4_Bar1" (without quotes)

1) figure out the frame's actual used name:

make a macro and put it on your action bar:

(don't know if this would still work, havent used it in quite some time, but in the past i used it when i wanted to tinker with kgpanels :) )

2) Hover your mouse over the frame you want to get the name from and keep the mouse on that spot while pressing the action bar button with the macro.
3) in the chat you will see a message printing out the name of the frame. If it states something like WoldFrame then its a no-go because the Worldframe is everything you see rendered for the game itself, npc's, buildings, etc.

after you figured out the name of the frame you'll have to make the code like:

see, i changed to "myFrameName" part to the first action bar from bartender :)

i think to certain restrictions in the coding language, a framename never has spaces in it, so never presume that an addon's name is the same as the framenames they use. Some addons will make it really difficult for you to find the frame name, just keep hovering your mouse over the frame bit by bit untill the "WorldFrame" changes into something more addon like :)

nevermind, I was completely wrong :)
