KGPanels -> changing resolution

BabyRay · 09-16-14, 03:30 AM

Hello,

after changing the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080 I had to adjust KGPanels. Worked well so far. Only I have the problem that is as can not move along the chat window and the panel. So I adjusted the size of the panel and then adjusted the chat window to the panel. After both now fit into each other, I want the whole now move pixels accurately. That does not work because it only shifts the panel. The only way is to move the two together via the chat window. What but not pixel is then accurately and on top of that a fiddly job.
Is there a better solution?

Use these commands to move the frame exactly where you want it:

Code:

/run ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
/run ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 100, 25)
/run ChatFrame1:SetUserPlaced(true)
/run ChatFrame1:SetSize(600, 200)

In the SetPoint command, the first number is the horizontal offset from the specified point, and the second is the vertical. Positive numbers move left/up, while negative numbers move right/down. In the SetSize command, the first number is the width, and the second is the height.

Then invoke the default UI's own function to save the position and size so they'll be loaded again in the future:

Code:

/run FCF_SavePositionAndDimensions(ChatFrame1)

If you want to see the currently saved position and size for reference:

Code:

/dump GetChatWindowSavedPosition(ChatFrame1)
/dump GetChatWindowSavedDimensions(ChatFrame1)

Thank you Phanx.

I use this macro to get the name of my chatframe

Code:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName());

My Chatframe called "ChatFrame1Tab"

Code:

/dump GetChatWindowSavedPosition(ChatFrame1)
/dump GetChatWindowSavedDimensions(ChatFrame1)

I try´d your macro and changed the name of the chatframe too.
But everytime i only get this:

/dump value=GetChatWindowSavedPosition(ChatFrame1)
/dump value=GetChatWindowSavedDimensions(ChatFrame1)

i make something wrong i think

No, it's not. That's the name of the tab attached to the chat frame. The chat frame itself is just "ChatFrame1".

Upon further investigation, the two Get functions actually require just a number, not a name or reference.

Code:

/dump GetChatWindowSavedPosition(1)
/dump GetChatWindowSavedDimensions(1)

hello,

after my break I am again placed at the interface and tried my luck with the macros.
Works well so far.

Here is the macro I use.

Code:

/run ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
/run ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 52, 88)
/run ChatFrame1:SetUserPlaced(true)
/run ChatFrame1:SetSize(520, 135)

Code:

/run ChatFrame2:ClearAllPoints()
/run ChatFrame2:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 52, 88)
/run ChatFrame2:SetUserPlaced(true)
/run ChatFrame2:SetSize(520, 135)

Code:

/run ChatFrame3:ClearAllPoints()
/run ChatFrame3:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 52, 88)
/run ChatFrame3:SetUserPlaced(true)
/run ChatFrame3:SetSize(520, 135)

Code:

/run SkadaBarWindowRecount:ClearAllPoints()
/run SkadaBarWindowRecount:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 15, 274)
/run SkadaBarWindowRecount:SetUserPlaced(true)
/run SkadaBarWindowRecount:SetSize(340, 180)

Code:

/run SkadaBarWindowOmen:ClearAllPoints()
/run SkadaBarWindowOmen:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, 1565, 275) <--- 1 px different to loot like the other Windows :D
/run SkadaBarWindowOmen:SetUserPlaced(true)
/run SkadaBarWindowOmen:SetSize(340, 180)

He seems not always to save. After login, I have to use the macros first. and sometimes after a loading screen.

Did I maybe a mistake somewhere in there?

/set synchronizesettings 1

in the config.ini

You're forgetting the part that tells the game to save the size/position for the future:

Code:

/run FCF_SavePositionAndDimensions(ChatFrame1)
