Auctioneer Display Size on Mazzle UI: Almost there

Admiral · 07-15-07, 01:47 PM

I'm a new MazzleUI user. I like it now, but I can fall in love with it.. it depends if I can get one thing worked out first.

If not, it may or may not be a deal breaker.

I use Auctioneer. It creates a little sub-text box underneath the item tootip box when I hover over something with my cursor.. and that box contains statistical data on what the item is worth on the AH market (based upon my scans of the auction house).

MazzleUI sizes that really really small, and I can't read it.

Now I have consulted the FAQ. I've gotten my chat windows set to a readable size. I know how to adjust my damage and combat windows. I know how to adjust my fubar settings. I've increased my resolution and come to terms with reading smaller..

In short, I've really tried... so I turn to the forums for help.

When reading FAQ, I can see that Chat is Assigned "X" pt, Combat and Damage will be assigned a small "X" pt, and 'Other' Windows are are assigned an even smaller "X" pt. Right now I have it set at Mr. Magoo level and can read everything great, but the Auctioneer data window is still really small.

Any suggestions?

Try scaling your tooltips. (TinyTip is the mod, I think you can pull up options with /ttip)

Good thought, and I got excited for a moment.

But I tried adjusting TinyTips, and it had no effect. To the degree that I made my tooltip as three quarters the size of my screen and still my auctioneer window underneath the object was unchanged.

Then to further test it out, I disabled TinyTips, and it too had no effect.

In hopes of getting this to make more sense, here is a link showing screenshots of what the tooltip is supposed to look like.

However, my display shows the Auctioneer Tooltip to be considerably smaller.

I dunno.. I studied that screen shot fairly carefully, and it does look a little smaller than the text box above it.

But again, I used TinyTips to make the box that is the "Phantom Blade" in the example screenshot enormous, but it had no effect on the Auctioneer box below it.

Stll holding out hope that someone can tell me how to increase the size of that just a little.

From the looks of that screenshot, it seems to create its own tooltip. If so, I'd search Auctioneer's options for a scale or font size option. I don't think anything in the UI is interacting with it outside of the global UI scale.

Thank you for the reply Mazzlefizz!

Yes, I think the problem is on their end (now). Having been in communication with them, they have no feature for resizing the font/tooltip size. That leads me to believe that it is all based on this global UI scale you mentioned.

Auctioneer uses a sister program called EnhTooltip, and therein must be the issue.

I have asked them to consider implementing the resizing feature, or tell me if there is a bit of code that can be changed to adjust it.

Part of the problem is that this EnhTooltip uses multiple colors and some of them dark purples and blues. Combine that with a dark background and a tiny font aznd it makes for eyestrain..
