What is This Random Rectangle?

Mystery solved: It’s Vuhdo’s Buff Monitor. It just wasn’t tracking any buffs at all which is why it was entirely empty. I disabled it. Thanks for the help!

Been a while since the last post. I’ve just been swamped with a ton of year end stuff. In any case, I need some help. My UI’s been reconfigured again and there’s this random thing on it that I can’t seem to interact with and nothing shows up there anyway. I don’t know what it is and maybe someone can help me out.

It’s the top left transparent rectangle.

(I’m actually going to disable Mik’s. I had it enabled for my other DPS characters but I don’t need it as much on my Priest.)

    Is it POM Tracker? I have a similar box for mine that I can no longer move. If you go into Interface/Addons you can set it to fade when not in use. I haven’t seen an update for it yet :(

    Nope, figured it out. It’s Vuhdo’s buff monitor ^^.

    Glad you found out where the issue was coming from!

    I do have a question though, which addon is it that gives you the sliding bar of cooldowns, located just beneath your target/target-of-target frames?

    Seen it around a lot recently, but haven’t been able to track down what it is. I went through a fair number of unrecognised addons in the list seein what they do, but couldn’t quite spot it.

    naithin: It’s part of Fortexorcist: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7532-ForteXorcist.html

    The first screenshot on the right, you can see the same translucent bar underneath all that stuff.

    I gotta say your UI is looking much nicer than the last time you posted it. It is always interesting to watch the evolution. I know with mine I have been almost constantly changing.

    Almost a year ago:

    About 6 months ago:

    Current:
    http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15109-TebUI.html

    There have been some changes since 3.3 so I need to update the download, but you get the idea.

    And, can I just say that I love Pitbull 4. I use it for all of my unit frames, including raid frames and in full 25 man it is coming in at under 2 megs. LuaTexts seems to be much more efficient than DogTags.

  6. Naithin on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    Thanks! That explains it. ForteXorcist is one of the addons I nabbed while investigating yer list anyways, and then I loaded in and found I had the CD bar which baffled me for a bit. :)

    Finally decided to clean up my admittedly rather busy UI this mornin.

    *growl*

  8. Tebla on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    I am wondering why tekkub is growling. Is it just the shared consternation of random addon wonkyness, or is there some mod you are or aren’t using of hers?

    I also respectively ask tekkub if she is going to be updating Vendorbait? I love the mod, but not the error I have gotten since the new patch.

  9. tekkub on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    …. *more growls*

    I fixed VB, I’ve just been a lazy ass and haven’t pushed out the fix. Maybe I’ll get it out this weekend.

  10. Tebla on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    Ah, thanks you. I figured it was something like that. /bow

    Still confused about first growl though :)

  11. Kusuria on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    I know you already found the culprit, but to avoid confusion in the future, and also for some nice tweaking options, try Chaos Frame Modifier. It’s essentially the same functionality that the awesome Discord frame mod had, updated for the current game. One of the nicest functions is showing you the name and parent of whatever you mouse over. Very easy to fix rogue frames like this.

    http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13548-ChaosFrameModifier.html

    If you don’t want to use the mod, there is a macro you can hotkey to reveal the name of whatever you are pointing at as well, but i have lost it. I am sure a search of the official forums will pop it up though.

    You need to get rid of pitbull, get SUF, seriously the best Unit frame addon out there by an extremely large shot

  13. Matticus on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    I don’t know what SUF is.

  14. JokeyRhyme on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    If you ever want to know what something on your screen is, just use the following command:
    /framestack

    This command (since 3.2-ish) well tell you what code is responsible for any visual (or invisible) elements at the location of the mouse cursor. So just wave your mouse cursor over the area of the screen you are interested in and read what it finds. Even if you don’t understand the code, you should at least be able to recognise the names of addons that you’ve installed.

  15. Antaya on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    SUF = Shadowed Unit Frames… and agree it is the best UF addon in the game at present.

  16. Matticus on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    @Antaya: It looks good, but I’m probably going to pass on it for now. I just recently reconfigured my UI not too long ago and I don’t want to go through the hassle of positioning and resizing everything again.

    So thats what it is! Thats been bugging me too!

    2 quick questions :

    1) In the upper half middle of your screen where it has popped up “Borrowed Time and the spell picture”, is that a trigger you have set up in MSBT or another add on ?

    2) In the lower right hand corner you have bars monitoring your cooldowns on other people. Example your PW:Shield, Divin Aegis, etc… Is that a part of Forte ?

  19. Sar on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    Lol!

    I have exactly the same problem!

    Now I know what it is I can disable the wee bugger :)

    Matt whats the Transparent textured panel feature at the bottom of your UI that is the somewhat darkened panel running across the entire bottom of the screen that bartender and the chat frame is highlighted in. I cant remember the name of it.

  21. Matticus on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    @Ardent Defender: I believe its called Btex or something.

  22. Ardent Defender on Saturday, December 19, 2009

    Thanks Matt.
