My problem is i download corner indicators, hots and power word shield but any icon only shows as a square and never proper icon.
E.g. Renew, Inspiration, PW:S, etc are all squares rather than icons
Also editing the health deflict colour to light gray and health bars to dark grey i cant seem to do
Yeah, that's the big thing. If you can muddle through and fix an addon for yourself by copying and pasting stuff from forums, that's one thing, but we do ask that you not commit such "updates" to an addon's repository, or otherwise post a public update, unless you fully understand why the changes you made fixed the problem, and are willing and able to commit to supporting the addon. Otherwise, we end up with tons of addons that are now marked as updated, but still have nobody actually maintaining or supporting them, which doesn't really help anybody. :|
think once i finish my a levels ill give learning this sort of stuff a go, im sure its quite helpful for when a patch comes and you want to sort things yourself
Depends on the addon, what kind of changes are required, and how much you know about the parts of the WoW API the addon interacts with. It could be a simple fix on a single line that takes 30 seconds, or it could require rewriting major parts of the addon's core functionality and doing research into new API methods.
Be patient. It's only been a few days since the patch. Many addon authors have full-time jobs, kids, and/or other things to do that take precedence over immediate addon updates. Also, check the plugin's project page; there may be "alpha" versions that haven't synced to Curse yet.
just curious, how many hours would it take to self update an addon if u understood lua?
Both are great addons and serve their purpose. Personally i prefer the out of the box configuration of Grid2 and i think it is more tailored towards power users than Grid is. If only i knew LUA id edit this myself but alas i don't. I really hope someone picks this up. Its truly a shame that no one can combine the two to make for a better addon overall.
Well doesnt seem to work very well going by the thread.
Also when i want a black health bar with greyish deflict like i had on grid2, the lua was very simple to figure out, any chances i make to the rgba code make no difference on grid
I agree that the Grid2 core is better, but I think the configuration design is an absolute mess, both from a code standpoint and from a user standpoint, and I therefore have no interest in ever using it. I also don't have time to either rewrite the Grid core, or rewrite the Grid2 configuration.
Can you use icons such as PWS, Inspiration etc in the corners of normal grid?
Also why is the configuration design a mess, straightforward and easy
I'm not going to work on Grid2 for the forseable future.
I'm still convinced that it is, at its core, a lot better than Grid was when I wrote Grid2. It probably still is, although I haven't check on the changes in Grid. But I can't force anyone to look at it, and old habits die hard.
Anyone wants to work on it, I accept patches and will merge them.
Today is the first day that I'm gonna start wow in a very long time. I'm just installing patch 4.0.1. Talented is my priority.
Simply the best addon out there Grid2, icons in corners,sides,centre,top. Simplicity of adding and removing them, I have absolutely no idea how long it would take you to update it just to be usable in 4.0 but i would bloody love it. Grid1 really has nothing on it and using it in comparison just makes me annoyed I can't have grid2.
Someone please merge with this guy and get grid2 working again, so perfect.

This was my old grid2 layout, would it be easily possible to set grid1 up the same with all the icons in corners etc?
