What's your settings? Were you using a blend mode with kgpanels?

Yeah, i used the "Add" blend to get it...

You can use blend modes in litepanels with blend = "ADD" (if you didn't try this already). If that doesn't help, maybe I can take a look to compare your layout and your kgpanels WTF settings.

Sorry, it should be bg_blend, not blend.

Okay nvm. I don't know what I did but its working now lol. Is there a way to set strata?

i.e.

framestrata = "background"

Hey there katae, I was curious as to why my border is showing up so funny? It is on the panel I want but it has some grey around it as well and I don't understand why its doing that >.> Here is the screeny:

http://i49.tinypic.com/x40huh.jpg

and here is the layout for this particular panel:

{	name = "Actionbar", 
			anchor_to = "CENTER", 
			y_off = -419,
			width = 482, 
			height = 100,
			bg_color = {0.30,0.30,0.30},
            strata = "LOW",	
			border = "glowtex", border_color = "0 0 0",
		},

Also, just to clarify I mean this: http://i50.tinypic.com/11ttw6o.png

so I dont confizzle you as to what border im talking about :P

You know what Katae, never mind. I just saw there was a border_size and Im just an idiot! Sorry to bug you lol

Still quite strange and a likely bug, the default border_size is 16 and inset is supposed to be set to border_size / 4 even when only border is given.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention

edit - Bug: When setting border_size, it sets inset to that number instead of the 0.25 multiplier as intended. Normally, if that multiplier doesn't yield the right inset size you need, you'd set inset manually, i.e inset = 16.

Long story short, in the next update you'll need to make use of inset if your border/inset doesn't match up. I'll probably hold off uploading until the 3.3 toc update.

I hope it was okay, as I seen some other Uis using litepanels, I included it in my package for noVeL Ui.

Heres a preview - http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw33674.jpg

Much love to this awesome addon, it does so much more than I could imagine from kgPanels and I actually have to have less knowledge to use litepanels!

Thank you katae

Looks quite nice

Sadly, i'm having trouble getting this addon to show anything on my screen.

-I saved "layout_example" as "layout.lua" to the LitePanels folder in the addons folder, then enabled the addon on the character select screen. Nothing.

-Next, i wiped "layout.lua" and replaced it with the code you suggested under 'getting started' above, hoping to see the same bar in the screen shot. Restarted the game. Nothing.

At this point, i'm convinced i either A) am not putting "layout.lua" in the right place, or else B) i am missing some critical piece of code that should enable the whole thing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Katae]

Your layout should look something like this. Make sure you don't have any syntax errors.

[cryptor_00]

Thanks. That helped immensely.

And i have to say, that's some pretty quick service! Blizz could learn a thing or two from you Happy holiday.
