Aero

version 2.0



Info

This addon adds open/close animation to some of WoW interface elements. Basically it looks like animation in Aero interface of Windows Vista/7.



The addon was inspired by Cargor's VisualFX, but it has a big difference - it does not break frames in combat. Instead of it, addon works only out of combat for secure frames and does not taint default WoW UI.



This is the latest and most stable version of addon. There are many others (with implementation of Aero Shake feature and some other) that were not released because of high CPU usage and unstable work. But i'm not planning to add more functionality to Aero, so v2.0 will be only version released on public.



Here's video that shows how addon works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27JqTPHU_SY (the vid shows 1st version with only "show" animation, v2.0 has also similar "hide" animation).



Installation

Extract archive into your \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns folder.



Adding more frames to animate

All you need to know contained in Frames.lua file.

Feel free to post hook funcs for addons that you want to be supported by Aero.

Addon authors can add Aero support directly into their addons using this method:

if(IsAddOnLoaded"Aero") then

Aero:RegisterFrames(

...

list frame names that are created by addon

...

)

end
