Leatrix Plus is impacting the Narcissus addon's Minimap button (The War Within)

Issue

I've posted this info into the Narcissus bug reporting system but I thought it's worth posting in both addon's feedback pages...

The Narcissus addon, when run by itself (or more specifically without Leatrix Plus), it renders a very nice automated minimap icon onto the minimap. This button animates when you mouse over it, and it has an attractive appearance without the usual gold borders that minimap buttons normally have. But when I load Leatrix Plus along with Narcissus concurrently, it negatively impacts Narcissus by affecting its minimap button. It now just has a standard minimap button without the fancy mouseover animation. It also has a standard circular gold border. It's a completely different button in appearance and behavior. When I disable Leatrix Plus and reload my UI, the Narcissus minimap button returns to its normal appearance. It appears as if the Leatrix addon is doing something negatively to the Narcissus addon's button.

I know that Leatrix has a feature for combining all the minimap buttons into a single popup menu of buttons. I have this feature turned off. But even with this, it still has the same impact on Narcissus.

Also, Leatrix will override the Narcissus Dressing Room feature if the Leatrix Dressing Room feature is turned on. The Narcissus Dressing Room is preferable to me for it's overall presentation, functionality, and size on the screen. So I prefer to use it over all other available options. If the Leatrix Dressing Room feature is enabled, it will win out and suppress the Narcissus implementation. This is not a big deal because simply disabling the LTP dressing room option will allow the other addon to seize the day. I don't think there's much to be done here, but I'm mentioning this because it took me a while to figure out what was clobbering the Narcissus UI. FWIW the addon called Better Wardrobe and Transmog has the same impact on Narcissus. I guess it's because each of these addons are all trying to solve the same problems and are in competition as to whose implementation will prevail. As long as there's an option in the UI to disable particular features, then that's all the needs to be done. But I did want to pass this feedback along to you just because.

Finally thank you for the fantastic addon. I've been using it the last four months and I really appreciate the time and effort that is required to create something as complex as this.

Please use the game version dropdown menu on the ticket creation screen so that I know which version of Leatrix Plus you are raising the issue for. I'll assume this is for The War Within.

For the minimap button, this has been fixed in the latest release of Narcissus (currently that's version 1.7.6). It's not a Leatrix Plus issue. In 1.7.6, Narcissus will use a LibDBIcon button if the enhance minimap option is enabled. If it isn't enabled, Narcissus will use a custom button. Prior to 1.7.6, Narcissus would only check if Leatrix Plus was installed but would not check if the enhance minimap option was enabled.

The enhance minimap option uses LibDBIcon buttons for various reasons and not only for combining them. It also uses them for things such as button size, position, show status and compiling button tables, so you will always see LibDBIcon buttons if you use the enhance minimap option. LibDBIcon buttons are far superior to custom buttons in terms of managing them and that's why almost every addon uses them.

Note that if you use the combine addon buttons setting, you may see two Narcissus buttons in the combined button frame for now (Narcissus own LibDBIcon button and the Leatrix Plus one). This reason for this is that in the past, Narcissus would only use a custom button so Leatrix Plus had to create a LibDBIcon button for it to work with enhance minimap. Now that Narcissus creates its own LibDBIcon button, the Leatrix Plus button isn't needed so it will be removed in next week's update.

For the dressing room issue, please provide me some steps so that I can replicate the issue you are having because it seems to work fine for me (though I don't use Narcissus so I don't know too much about it). Such as, how are you opening the dressing room and what are you seeing versus what you expect to see.
