Button Bar help

[Kilara]

Hello, all.

I just installed nUI, and am loving it so far. Right now, my only issue is that my action bars are too small. How do make them bigger? I can barely see my main action bar.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The whole console (action bars included) are scaled to match your resolution. The action bars can be resized but it must be done through editing the lua code. See the following thread for instructions on how someone increased the size of the main action bar.

I resized my main action bar so that it stood out more than anything else. Although it is good to see things bigger on that bar at least. So here goes:

Folder: nUI\Layouts\Default\
File : nUI_Layout_Default_Dashboard.lua

Below you will see the change I made. btn_size is the size of the button. After you do the change reload the interface or game and use /nui movers to reposition the bar as needed now that it is bigger. You can also see the other bars with the same variables that can be altered. With the other bars though you may find more complications as they border major parts of the interface and thus not easily movable.

So I saw .. thought it was quicker for me to just copy the file segment than track the post down

Thanks for the quick reply, it worked perfectly. So, if I want to increase the size of my buff bar, do I need to do the same thing? By the way, I know nothing about editing .lua's.

Thanks again for your help!

Now the buff bar unfortunately isn't a part of the layout files for us to change. At least not in this version. Maybe Scott will add that functionality in version 6.
