  Alright.
  
  The posting of errors seems to be the hardest part on the forums or discord. So let's cover if it should be considered a error or just ignore it.
  
  If the message begins with ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED it is a Taint which never blames the right addon and is generally dismissive as an error. These are the hardest ones to diagnose because you guys have about 100 addons enabled and then it says...

  Hello Community!

  Im a beginner in LUA scripting and im not familiar with the elvui code.
  
  Can someone help me and give me some tips how should I go about this?

  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,
  I can't seem to enable the default Blizzard cast bar. I don't believe this option actually exists, digging through the code in Player.lua, it appears that the default castbars are set to nil .

  Hello. I've decided to finally start making my own UI (art style etc) and I am going to use ElvUI as a base for everything since I cannot make code of my own.
  My UI will be heavily based on new Diablo 4 UI (health/power etc on the bottom left side of the screen) And I will use weakauras for most of the moving elements like HP/mana etc.
  To keep the addon list as small as possible I'd like to know...

  I need my party frames to be in the same order as their slot. If my character is the 3rd player to join the group it should be in the 3 slot on the party frame. Is there a file i can modify to remove the sorting options?
  
  Last post
  
  In Party or Raid?
  
  Player is a pseudo frame for Party. Doesn't exist in the normal UnitFrames. As such it always takes Party5 slot. That's always been the mechanic of the secure header and it can't be changed.

  by Lyriam, Wed Oct 23, 2019 1:11 pm

  Hi,
  
  I am willing to create a simple plugin that allows players to change the unitframes health color when a specified buff/debuff is up on the unit (same sort of thing that grid2 or healbot allows to do). I have decent Lua and WoW addon developpement knowledge but never really dived into ElvUI code. Where should I look first ? Where can I find documentation of the code ? Maybe there already...
  
  Last post
  
  The problem with these two solutions is that they both use the PostUpdate function, which takes in parameters a debuff supposedly already filtered . Since I want to filter the Glimmer of Light (which is a buff) the post update function will never be called. The Update function in the oUF ibrary specifies HARMFUL when checking for auras on the target, and I can't hook that function. Or can I ?

  You might try changing the Startup routine test from:
  
  If,IExists, Zplugin:UIstate Plugin:Logo ,
  
  to:
  
  If,IExists, Zplugin:UIstate Plugin:Switch06 ,
  
  So that the check is for the last switch of the interface.
  
  Alternatively, use a memory block instead:
  
  If,MemGetSize,NK_StartupMem,
  
  and create the memblock at the very end of the script:
  
  If,MemGetSize,NK_StartupMem,,MVarDef,NK_StartupMem,1,0

  Hello,
  
  I would like to know if it is possible to create Unitframes with rounded corners and portrait just like blizzard's unitframes.
  
  I have thought of 2 ways :
  - Tweak Elvui's Modules\unitframes\units\player.lua and Modules\unitframes\units\target.lua to draw regions with rounded corners ;
  - Create a new texture with rounded corners and add it to the media\sharedmedia.lua.
  
  I would like...

  UPDATE :
  - Tried looking into how Blizzard's rounded statusbars are made using blizzard tooltip borders to create a weakaura progressbar.
  Here is the result (and parameters if you want to reproduce it):
  
  - Tried creating a texture fully transparent (0% opacity) but the result was overwhelming aswell :

  Generally you want to run the installer as admin. I think we have a version which doesn't require it.
  After installation it should be possible to run cb with your regular user.
  
  Run as an admin? This is for an in game addon. Your posts seems to be a little off topic.
