When my friend and I were trying to fix our UI's for the 3.3 PTR, we both confirmed that ButtonFacade was causing any addons it was plugging into to disappear. I was using Dominos and Satrina's Buff Frames, and he was using Bartender 4. We both disabled ButtonFacade, and it fixed out problems.
when using skins in BF that constrain the viewing area of spells or actions button facade works fine, but then i used some state configurations in bartender to keep my bars down to a minimum for more play area real estate.
but after i made those adjustments in bartender when i use the adjacent state modifier key such as CTRL, ALT, or Shift the buttons now show the full scale icon which goes outside of the perimiter of the button facade mask.
i took a snapshot of before, during and after using the state configuration button.
after more testing today i also notice that using cast sequence macros with the "?" image which cause the macro button to cycle to the next spell in the sequence also causes this "outside the frame" effect as i have now dubbed it, but not to the whole bar this time just the button on which the macro is bound. so I'm beginning to think that it's something to do with button facade...can anyone help?
p.s.- on a side note turning "backdrop" on/off seems to reset the BF "skin" restoring the state i want but it's a hassle to "/bf *click* *click*" every time use a state modifier.
I'd have to see exactly how you have your state configuration set up, but I'm going to guess that when a state change happens, bars/buttons that weren't active before are coming active. If that's the case, BT would have to reapply the skin to those new bars/buttons when it does the state change.
Send me a PM with your exact state configuration so I can see if I can duplicate the problem.
Hello, I was playing with my UI today and wanted some of my buttons to be faded out, but when I did it I see a light gray border around the buttons. Is there a way to get rid of it? Sorry if this has been asked and answered, i did and search but did not find anything.

You'd need to modify the skin file to actually crop the icon instead of just covering the edges up with the skin texture; what you're seeing is the edge of the icon, and there's nothing ButtonFacade itself can do about it. That's simply how transparency works - when two things that are layered on top of each other both become transparent, you can see the one through the other.
i have a little question about ButtonFacade skins.
I am using Fontifier to apply a font to the whole ui (Port Credit Bold). Whil everything looks fantastic, the text on the actionbars (macro name, count, hotkey) is a bit too small. What do i need to edit in a bf skin in order to make the text a bit larger?
ButtonFacade doesn't do anything with the "size" of the font. It simply allows for the layer to be resized. I mean you can try playing with the height/width, but I doubt it'll do anything. You're be better off just hacking Fontifier and adjusting it there.
Edit: Make sure you're not changing the scale of the buttons or the UI scale. Most skins are designed to be used at 100% UI scale with a 36x36 button size.
UI scaling will mess up most skins. Unfortunate, but true.
I've used several different UI scales since ButtonFacade came out, and I've never noticed any problems due to scaling, except with the "exactly one pixel" skins. I've certainly never seen icons bleeding out of their borders like his screenshot, with any skin or UI scale.
Try ClearFont2. You can manually edit the "Design.lua" file to change specific sizes, assuming you know how to do it, of course. :)
ClearFont2 was abandoned... I think it was even deleted from the release sites. Tekkub's font-changing addon tekticles is essentially a stripped-down version of ClearFont, though. It's very easy to edit.
Yeah, I've never seen the icons bleed out, either. But UI scale is the only thing I can think of that would cause it, unless the bar addon is doing something. I know it works fine for me @ 100% UI scale using BT4.
As far as CF2 goes, it still works and is easy to edit (like Tekticles). I need to get around to stripping my local copy down, though. >.<

Curse PremiumUnfortunately i was not able to find any button text specific lines of code in Fontifier. it seems that tha addons is doing it kind of globally.
Once i testet another addon (Fontain) which offered the possibility to edit each text element of the whole ui seperately but it seems to be broken.

Curse PremiumButtonFacade doesn't do anything with fonts at all. If you weren't using BF, those text elements would still be the same size.
Try ClearFont2. You can manually edit the "Design.lua" file to change specific sizes, assuming you know how to do it, of course. :)

But it's so bloated. :(
