A mod that hides MiniMapTrackingFrame and replaces it with a simple string of [moveable?] text such as "Humanoid" or "Beasts". I personally would like to see new approaches at displaying tracking. This would fit perfectly under my minimap or it could be placed above it [if you are using mapscroll for example].
You could do the same thing as bc_trackingmenu and make it show on mouseover or onclick. What I would really like to see this do is make sure that its just plain simple text the whole time.
I'm tempted to do that but you don't want me doing it, I'd nil the button entirely, unregister it, kill it with fervour and then make the entire thing chat-command based and based off AlwaysTrack, with a walk-to-activate system and an overhead message to tell you what you just activated. ;p See? You don't want me doing this project. Oh no.
I'm a big fan of SilverTrack. Actually, I like most of Silver's AddOns, though that's not really relevant to this subject. Anyway, I'd love to see something along the lines of SilverTrack, Ace'd.
As for the stupid tracking icon, I myself would just undock it from the Minimap with Visor and put it somewhere else, though the idea of replacing it with a text frame isn't bad.
Best feature of bc_TrackingMenu: Blinking the icon if you don't have a tracker up.
Worst feature: the menu frome, why not a normal ol dropdown?
Yea Rowne, hate to say it but I doubt I'd use yours if you did. *shrug* I just want a quick lil menu to swap trakers when I want a diff, and some indication I need to put mine up if I die and forget.

I'd use SilverTrack... but why did u revive like a year old thread? =P
Cause I don't like SilverTrack at all and the menu suggested by Shifta would fit really neat into the style used by oRA2's Cooldown Monitors etc and I really liked this sort of menu idea for tracking, perhaps flashing when no tracking is active.
I've yet to find an existing AddOn for tracking that I like :) (apart from suggestions in this thread) so I revived it after searching for an active thread about it.
What do you think?
[Humanoid]
Then I guess you could click it and the rest of the options would popup from the bottom [options to make the menu grow up or down would be nice]
[Humanoid]
-------------
[Beast]
[Elemental]
[Undead]
[Dragonkin]

Does SilverTrack flash like bc does? If so, does it have any advantages over the afformentioned bc_trackingmenu?
