for some reason my WeakAura buttons appear super small in size, like 50% as big as before. I'm using the same settings as on live.

any idea of why that might be?

As of Alpha-3, this now only affects Retail (DF) Action buttons, since they're the only ones that increased in size.

What skin are you using?

Updating the LUA file of the single skin worked for me, at least with ELVUIesque skin, you need to change the size of every element but it takes 2 minutes, should be a simple update on the skin-developer side.

I'm using "Caith". On live 'Caith' is exactly the same size as 'Default'. On PTR choosing Caith over Default the icons shrink, by like almost a third of their original size.

Same thing with 'Serenity'. It also shrinks on ptr.

This is because of the change in the default (action) button size. On live, buttons are 36 x 36, whereas on the PTR they're 45 x 45. So, for example, the size of Caith's 'Normal` texture is 42 x 42. Masque scales the textures based on the button's size relative to the default button size, A newly-created WeakAura is 64 x 64, so:

Live

64 / 36 * 42 = 75

PTR

64 / 45 *42 = 60

While this may be a bit inconvenient in that buttons larger than 45 x 45 will have to be changed in their respective add-ons for the PTR, it does ensure that smaller buttons are scaled properly. It's a bit of a conundrum since Masque has to account for scaling, the add-on dictates the button's actual size and skins dictate the texture sizes.

Hm... I'm not entirely sure that I fully understand what this means going forward. does this 'simply' mean I have to manually edit all my WA icons to account for this, as this is... "how it is" from now on?

It means that, until I figure out a better way to handle scaling, Dragonlight users will need to adjust their button sizes for add-ons that use custom frames (Eg, WeakAuras). I'm hoping to have something worked out before the pre-patch, but no guarantees. Keep in mind that this is an alpha, so there will be issues that need to be resolved.

Edit: Also, no skins have been updated so they may need some tweaks, too.

Alright, I see. I was just wondering whether to already start adjusting everything now. But it sounds like, if I interpret what you said correctly, I should rather wait. I see myself changing everything and you coming up with a solution the second I'm done 😁

Thanks for keeping Masque alive. Would be super weird not having it. ♥️

This is also the case for FlatSquares, but from reading your response it seems that is probably assumed. Here's hoping for a quick fix. Thanks for the addon!

@rml9ty Yeah, it'd be best to hold off changing anything just yet. It's a tricky problem but I may be able to fix it.

Updating the LUA file of the single skin worked for me, at least with ELVUIesque skin, you need to change the size of every element but it takes 2 minutes, should be a simple update on the skin-developer side.

great tip! just did it and it works perfectly. just took every number in there times 1,25 and voila thumbs up

Just to let you all know, I'll be reverting this change until a later date when I can implement a better scaling method. Do note that this will cause action buttons in Dragonflight to appear 25% larger than in Shadowlands, since the actual size of those buttons has increased.
