Well since I don't have a Shaman I can't say this definitively but I have a pretty darn good idea what is going on. Earthbind is applied by the totem and so the game doesn't consider it your buff. The Aura API for the game gives me pretty limited information. Just a boolean flag to say if it is or is not yours.

Workaround for this:

Go into the Aura Filter Editor under Advanced and create a new filter. Let's call it Totem Debuffs.

Set Display when to Never
Filter type to Name
List type to Whitelist
Add Earthbind to the list.

Now let's copy the Default debuffs, mine. We do this by selecting Default debuffs, mine as the current filter we're editing. We're going to name this new filter Default debuffs, mine+totems so we type that in the New Filter box to copy the filter.

The last filter is set to None. Open that drop down up and find your Totem Debuffs filter you made earlier. Should be at the very bottom. Now the operator field before the Totem Debuffs filter you just set, change that to OR.

Now Default debuffs, mine+totem should show up in your filter selection under layout. Select that instead of Default debuffs, mine+totem and you should be set. You can add other debuffs applied by totems by just editing your Totem Debuffs and adding them.

Edit: Alternative and probably better way make the Default debuffs, mine+totems is like so:

Create a new filter let's call it Default debuffs, mine+totems
Display when: Debuffs
Filter type: Meta
Clear out any existing Filters by setting them to None first.
Now select the following filters from left to right: Default debuffs, mine; Totem buffs
Operator between those two should be: OR

This prevents duplicating the functionality in the default meta so any changes to it will be picked up by your filter.

Supposing I'd like to create a custom module, that displays different bars in one "block", much like the old DruidManaBar, what type of module would that be? "bar" does not fit, I think.

I'd like to do that, because my module needs to show an unknown number of bars, without growing bigger as more bars are added.

Um... can't you just disable that frame type in the options? Besides. Testing is why you downloaded the alpha. :p If you don't like half implemented stuff, then go back to PitBull3. ;)

1. Can't see Hitpoints (or Health) on anyone. I'm using 2 separate layouts for Player / Party and somehow I've managed to mess it up and I can't find the right place to configure it. Tried fiddling around with a few options under Layout -> Texts -> Health but it doesn't agree to show up. :(

Okay, go to Layout -> Texts -> Health. If Health doesn't exist then make a new one with that Name. Make sure the "Attach to", "Location" and "Position" settings make sense (ie, the place exists and is visible). If you still aren't having any luck, you can choose a preset value by selecting any of the "Health" variants in "Code" (bottom of the Texts tab).

2. I would like to use a different font for the styles instead of the default ones included. Can someone please teach me how to do this? :(

I'll assume you've found Layout -> Texts -> Default Font.
If you don't have many options, you might want to install the SharedMedia addon (it's just a bunch of new assets that addons can use, including PitBull). Also, many font-changing addons like ClearFont2, etc come with additional fonts that addons can use.

3. All the bars are currently showing like a '3D pipe' or a horizontal cylinder if you would and I've seen a ton of people using the 'Flat' types. I'd like to have my bars showing like that, but I can't figure out where the option is to do it :(

Check out Layout -> Bars -> General -> Default Texture, and Layout -> Bars -> <bar type> -> Texture. Again, if you don't have many options, you might want to install the SharedMedia addon.

Can't you put the portrait like that with PitBull?

There are tickets for most of what you're asking for elloria.

I can say for certain that there's a ticket requesting allowing texts to be placed outside the frames and that there are tickets for strata.

You can certainly do a layout with the portrait like that. Set the portrait to Position as bar. Then set the Position to 1. Set the Height to 12. Now you're gonna say.... But it's stretched and not tall enough.

Go back under General under Size and increase the Height of the Bar. The Height on the Portrait is not literal but relative to other bars. It's done this way to allow a layout to scale to different sizes.

Another question =)

I am currently trying to write a bar provider module and have problems to assign values to custom variables. BlankSpace (the only other barprovider out there) has this OptionsFunction:

PitBull4_BlankSpace:SetLayoutOptionsFunction(function(self)
	return
		'deficit', nil,
		'background_alpha', nil
end)

When I add another option here, like that

'test', {
		type = 'input',
		name = "Test",
		desc = "Test value",
		get = function(info)
			return PitBull4.Options.GetLayoutDB(self).test
		end,
		set = function(info, value)
			PitBull4.Options.GetLayoutDB(self).test = value
		end
}

then the setting stays the same for all bars provided by my bar provider.
How to assign different values to the different bars?

The layout editor seems to do this by having the local variable "CURRENT_BAR_PROVIDER_ID", but that.. well.. is local =)

Thanks!

Instead of PitBull4.Options.GetLayoutDB(self) you should use:
PitBull4.Options.GetBarLayoutDB(self)

is there a way to have like on this Pitbull3, the blue background on the health bar and as well the power bar ?

Not at this time, there's an open ticket on that.
