Custom Themes

The customization feature takes current settings of current theme and saves it as a base setting. Since it takes current settings and uses that as a base, some frames are set as hidden as base and needs to be unchecked to become visible (for example custom action slots).

Tips, Tricks and Solutions

WARNING, this will remove your saved settings for your customized themes!!! You can reset the base settings by deleting the WIIIUI.lua file in WoW\WTF\Account\[ACCOUNT NAME]\[SERVER NAME]\[CHARACTER NAME]\SavedVariables or by opening the file and remove the base_settings of the theme, do the same with the theme in edit_theme_settings.
Some frames are hidden or visible based on the UI scale and might be hidden based on your UI scale, just uncheck the Hide checkbox and it will appear.
Changes are not being applied? Enable customize settings from the config menu.
Inventory (custom action) slots are not visible, uncheck hide for each action slot you want to be visible.
Changing the UI scale from the General tab screws with my UI. Reload UI.
Name over the experience bar does not fit? Increase the width of WIIIUI_xpName on Page 14.
Level and class text does not fit? Increase the width of WIIIUI_xpName on Page 14.
HP and/or Mana/Rage/Energy does not fit? Increase the width of WIIIUI_HealthText and WIIIUI_PowerText on Page 41.
Changing position of either Pos X or Pos Y does not work? If Point and Relative to are both or either is set to CENTER, try changing it to BOTTOMLEFT on Point and BOTTOMRIGHT on Relative to, requires you to reload UI. Other settings might work as well, if the frame disappears after this change it might be outside of the screen and you may have to put in negative value on Pos X or Pos Y.

Here are some example edits.

Centered with space on sides (Useful for ultra wide screens)
For above solution you want to:

(Optional) Edit the UI scale in the General tab.
Go to page 9, WIIIUI_leftpart, Pos X, if you are running wide screen and not ultra wide then remember how much you increase this with so you can apply the same value to the parts on the right side of the UI.
Go to page 22, WIIIUI_rightpartBackground, change Point to BOTTOMLEFT and change the Pos X value, reload UI after edit if nothing happens otherwise it wont display properly while editing. Now change it again and try changing width as well if needed, you might have to come back to this one.
Go to page 23, Wc3_UI_bottom_right_top, change Pos X value
Go to page 24, Wc3_UI_bottom_right_middle, change Pos X value
Go to page 24, Wc3_UI_bottom_right_bottom, change Pos X value
Go to page 24-25, Wc3_UI_right_right_extendedFillerBottom_1 (and ...extendedFillerBottom_2 and ...extendedFillerBottom_3) , change Pos X value if needed

No chatframe area
For above solution you want to:

Go to page 22, check Hide for WIIIUI_rightpart.
Go to page 8 and change Wc3_UI_extensionsBackground's width.
Go to page 9 and change WIIIUI_leftpart's Pos X.

No inventory slots
For above solution you want to:

Go to page 11, Wc3_UI_right_left, set it's Parent to WIIIUI_rightpart and Draw layer to OVERLAY.
Go to page 22, WIIIUI_inventorySlots, check Hide if you want to hide the 6 action slots
Go to page 23, Wc3_UI_right_middle, set Draw layer to ARTWORK

How to make a custom theme

Create a folder named custom# 1-8, example custom4.
Copy all files and folders in WoW\Interface\AddOns\WIIIUI\art\orc and paste it into your new folder. Orc is the template for custom themes, which is good if you do not intend to edit with the customization option.
Either use the images as a template and follow their form or go crazy and use the customization feature.
Do not save any image with higher resolution than 512x512 since it is not supported in vanilla WoW.
All images must be saved with width/height of a multiplier of 8. For example: 16,32,64,128,256,512.
You can edit and then save an image while ingame, you just need to reload the UI to see the changes ingame.

How to apply custom themes

Download a theme
Put the custom theme folder into WoW\Interface\AddOns\WIIIUI\art
(Optional) Go into WoW\WTF\Account\[ACCOUNT NAME]\[SERVER NAME]\[CHARACTER NAME]\SavedVariables
(Optional) Paste the WIIIUI.lua file and overwrite OR...
(Optional) If you don't want your old settings to be overriden, such as UI scale size etc, then you can go into the downloaded WIIIUI.lua file, copy the code block in ["base_settings"]={["THEME"]}, paste it into your own WIIIUI.lua file. Now do the same with ["edit_theme_settings"]={["THEME"]}.

Example of how it should look.

How to share

Upload your custom theme folder from WoW\Interface\AddOns\WIIIUI\art.
(Optional) Upload your WoW\WTF\Account\[ACCOUNT NAME]\[SERVER NAME]\[CHARACTER NAME]\SavedVariables\WIIIUI.lua file.
(Optional) Or share the code block in ["base_settings"]={["THEME"]} and the same with ["edit_theme_settings"]={["THEME"]}.
Ask me to add your theme to the list of custom themes or share it as you please.

Known issues

The UI looks wrong? Try reloading the UI from the config menu, if that doesn't work, hit Escape to open the game's Main Menu, click 'Video Options' and either uncheck 'Use UI Scale' if it's checked or
Options not saving is likely because your files are set to 'Read only', please look up how to remove 'Read only' as it is different depending on your OS.
When adding something to an empty minimap actionslot the icon is enlarged, please reload UI from config menu.
When adding something to an empty extra inventory slot the icon is enlarged, please pick it up with left mouse click and put it back or reload UI.
When adding something to an empty actionslot in the actiongrid the icon is enlarged, please pick it up with left mouse click and put it back or reload UI.
Undead male's animated portrait looks bugged, a fault caused by Blizzard and not the addon, this is the reason why I added the menu option to disable portrait animation.
If other issues arrive, try to note down what you did to create this issue and please contact me at Fiur#8648, in the meantime please reload UI.
