Absolute Character

# Absolute Character - Changelog

## 1.2.3

### Changed
- **New emblem.** An armored champion in full gear, framed by gear slots and a stat panel, inside the gold Absolute bezel. It replaces the pandaren emblem in the window header, on the minimap button and in the game's addon list.

## 1.2.2

### Changed
- **Minimap button:** smaller and the same size as every other Absolute addon's (a 24 px button with a 22 px emblem), so they take up less room around the minimap.

## 1.2.1

### Changed
- **A bolder fold handle.** It now has a double gold chevron with thicker strokes on a wider knob with a brighter border. The chevron pointing the way the panel will fold is the bright one.
- **The fold handle is animated.** An ember glow breathes softly behind it. On hover the chevrons nudge in the direction they'll fold, and clicking gives the knob a quick pop as the window folds. Turn the motion off with "Animate the fold handle" in Settings.

## 1.2.0

### New
- **Compact window.** A gold handle with a chevron sits on the inner edge of each tab's side panel (stats, details and the Trying on list). Click it and the panel slides shut while the window narrows from the right. Your left edge stays put. Click again to open it back up. The window gives back exactly the width it took, so repeated folding never drifts its size. The folded state is remembered and applies to every tab.
- Also in Settings ("Compact window") and as /achar compact.

### Changed
- **Smaller minimum width.** When the window is narrow the header hides its title and shows just the emblem and tabs. The window can now go down to about 640 px folded on Retail and about 730 px on Forever, which has the extra Skills tab. Open, the minimum is about 740 px, down from 900.
- Reputation bars shrink on narrow windows so faction names stay readable.

## 1.1.0

### New
- **Reputation tab** with every faction, renown, friendship and paragon standing. Headers collapse and expand, and there are Expand all / Collapse all buttons. The detail pane has "Show as experience bar", "At war" and "Move to inactive".
- **Currency tab** with every currency, its amount and cap, and your weekly progress. Shift-click links a currency in chat. The detail pane has "Show on backpack" and "Move to Unused".
- **Skills tab (WoW Forever)** with weapon, armor, language and profession skill lines, including bonuses.
- **Full replacement of the game's character window, on by default.** Your character (C), reputation (U) and currency keys open the matching tab, including in combat. The character menu button and other addons are redirected too. PvP and Statistics on Forever still use the game's window. Turn this off in Settings or with /achar replace.
- **New emblem**: a black pandaren with ember chevrons in front of the chrome Absolute A.
- **Minimap button.** Left-click opens the window, right-click opens the dressing room, drag to move it. Toggle it in Settings or with /achar minimap.

### Changed
- Tabs size themselves to fit their labels, and the header hint no longer runs under them.
- The turn / zoom / move hint now sits at the bottom of the character model.
- The default window is a little wider (980 x 620) to fit the new tabs.

## 1.0.0
First release. Forked from the dressing room in Absolute AuctionHouse 1.2.1 and built out into its own addon.

- **Character tab**: every equipment slot (Forever adds the ranged slot), item level per slot, quality borders, your model, and a stat sheet that matches the client (Spirit, attack power, hit and defense on Forever; haste, mastery and versatility on Retail).
- **Dressing Room tab**: Ctrl-click gear to try it on, a "Trying on" list (newest item per slot), Reset, Undress, and "Open in game preview".
- **Window**: movable, resizable from the bottom-right corner, with position and size saved between sessions.
- **Settings**: glass opacity (30-100%), lock position, sounds, catch Ctrl-clicks from the whole game, and open instead of the game's character window.
- Slash commands: /achar (or /adr) with dress, char, ctrl, replace, reset, about.
