Installer Creation Errors

Greetins all! I'm hoping to get a little hand here with some Installer issues I'm having.

When I run the installer I've created using the provided instructions, I get an error for a customer data Text panel.

If I comment it out and try again, I get an error on the next Custom section. ie: Custom unit frame text.
It will error on ALL custom additions I've added to my layout.

Hi there,

I am working on an Addon for ElvUI and have a text box being added to display text to the screen. I attempted to simply plug in a code such as but the addon does not automatically parse it as ElvUI does for its datatexts.

Can someone point me in the right direction to learn/accomplish integrating this feature?

Thanks in advance.

If ElvUI isn’t in your addons folder, it certainly isn’t going to load in game.

Download ElvUI manually or via the Tukui client.

Regarding DataText Panels, I created four of them (Top, Bot, Left, Right) to create a cinematic Viewport to watch and record WOW on my 46 TV. They look awesome, and so less finicky than other options I've tried like Sunnart and Viewport, plus it's all tied into ELVUI/BENKUI which I love.

Quick question tho, I notice when I export my profile to other accounts that the DataText panels don't show...

ElvUI Border transparency/alpha

Hey folks
Does anyone know where in the code I can edit to change the transparency/alpha levels of the ElvUI border? The actual color picker wheel under the ingame configuration General>Media doesn't allow alpha levels for the border, which seems weird to me as everything else does. I'd like to make borders completely transparent.

It will likely be part of the SetTemplate function in ElvUI/Core/Toolkit.lua

Hi,
