Describe the bug

  • Pixel glow seems strange.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • With the pixel glow feature...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  • I think that the glow of all sides should be constant. But it does not.

Do you have an error log of what happened?

  • No lua error occurred.

  • I am a character class hunter. So I set up a weakauras as a hunter skill.
    In the image above, the red marked are fade and then thickened again.
    However, icons that are not marked in red will look good on all sides.
    I have copied the code to Pastebin.com Please check.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?

Which version of WeakAuras are you using?

  • I'm using the 2.10.2 version.

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

  • This problem also existed in previous versions.

We are using a library: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/libcustomglow to provide the different glows. We did forward that bug report to the author of that library.

The underlying problem is that the coordinate system in WoW is a bit strange, and thus your auras don't usually actually end up on exact pixels. Thus what you are seeing is the glow line falling on a exact pixel but on two pixels.

This can be fixed by setting the uiscale in a way that the wow pixel grid lines up with the real pixel grid, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/WowUI/comments/95o7qc/other_how_to_pixel_perfect_ui_xpost_rwow/ contains a bit more information on that issue.

Thus this in essence a duplicate of #236
