Hiding eepanels when no target is selected

[slbrokaw]

Hello, I have eepanels2 set up so It makes a border like thing around my portrait and my target's portrait, but when I have no target selected, it's still there. Is there a way to hide this when I don't have a target?

You can parent it to the target portrait.

I looked at that, the default setting is UIParent, how can I parent it to the pitbull target frame? What do I type into the editbox?

I like your new picture, it's less... depressing lol.

In your chat edit box, type

/print ChatFrame1:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName())

and then mouse over the target portrait and press enter, and it should give you the frame name. Then just type that into the eepanels parent box.

And Thanks, its the FreeBSD logo (I'm not using it, I can't figure out how to boot into it ).

Ok thank you very much. Works like a charm now.

A bit off topic: Dread your avatar is NOT the BSD logo, its the logo for Debian, the Linux flavor Ubuntu and many others are based on. BSD's logo tradionally has been that of a daemon (name based on the UNIX background utilities):


"Beastie"

FreeBSD's logo is based on this (though a bit abstract now), NetBSD is that of a flag and OpenBSD is a pufferfish named "Puffy".

FreeBSD new logo:


Sorry about getting off topic however I wanted to clear the waters a bit.

To the OP, I would drop that /command into a macro and then keybind to some key combo that you don't normally use (Shift F12 is good one to use). Then whenever you need to know the name of a frame you can just hover over the frame in question and hit your keybind. I use this when I set up my UI and it saves a lot of time. Also great for trying to track down what mod is throwing that annoying frame in your face so you can kill it.

Hehehe, true that.

Just for posterity, I love the beastie logo far better than the new one.
