Enhancement: Trim the Icons of the Classic Skin
Nukme opened this issue ยท 8 comments
Version:
8.2.5-beta
Settings:
Classic theme + Dominos + Clean Icons: Thin
Descriptions:
- black pixels around the corner of buttons on action bars, which makes buttons looking aliased.
- GCD cooldown animation would cover the GLOW effect, which just ruins the action bar in combat.
Something else:
The old "Blizzard" masque theme + dominos is just perfect for me. In fact, I haven't changed my action bar style since 2011. With this re-worked beta version, I have to retune Masque and Dominos and end up very SAD. Everything seems off and weird. The borders in Classic theme aren't as bright as Blizzard theme and with the increased size of Classic theme, I have to shrink action bar buttons via Dominos, which makes the borders thin and stack texts on buttons small.
Is it too much to ask for a built-in "Blizzard" legacy theme? Or a "Masque: Blizzard" standalone plug-in?

Clean Icons and Masque aren't suited to work together, especially with the default set of skins.

Masque no longer changes the frame strata of any frames, so this isn't an issue with Masque.

The primary change was adjusting the size to the standard 36 x 36 pixels. The original was too small when at a UI scale of 1.0, which is the baseline for skins.

This doesn't make any sense. They're the same texture. There are no color/alpha changes.

The skin was renamed to "Classic" for legal reasons. That said, I may consider incorporating a version of "Classic" that more closely resembles the previous version. We'll see.
Thanks for the reply!

One of my WAs is causing the glow frame strata issue, tho I don't quite understand why. Solved by detaching the WA from action bar frames.

I take screenshots of my action bar buttons (200% via Dominos) under Masque 8.0.1 and 8.2.5 respectively, both with Clean Icons.
8.0.1 "Blizzard":
8.2.5 "Classic":
The difference is obvious. 8.0.1 renders clean cut corners, while the 8.2.5 seems to have un-masked black backdrop.
Would you take a look into this? Thx!

As I mentioned, Clean Icons and Masque don't really work together. What you're seeing there is Clean Icon's borders because they've made the icons square. The default icons have transparent and slightly rounded corners. The difference between 8.0.1 and 8.2.5b is that the icon sizes have been increased by a few pixels to hide the inside of the metal border of the artwork, which is causing CI's borders to protrude. That said, I'm going to try to trim the icons with texture coordinates to see if I can shrink them a little to hide the corners. That should fix the issue universally.
In the latest Beta, I've trimmed the edges of the icons (which should fix that issue) and reduced the size of the icons a little bit.
