Bongos Skins

Hey guys,
Im using Bongos for my actionbars. I feel it has an advantage over bartender for 1.12.1.

My issue is that there are no skins available for Bongos, with the exception of cyCircled which isnt what Im looking for. This makes my actionbars look very dull.

So my question to you guys is if you know of any button textures or skins for Bongos actionbar for 1.12.1? I'd really like to get zoomed and neat looking spell icons for my action bars as I can with Bartender in later expansions.

I really dont want to end up making my own or tinkering with Discord Art or something.

Any reply is appreciated.

its not like you can make "skins" for it...some addons are not coded for that...

what i did was: Bongos_ActionBar/actionBar/button.lua edit

as you see,you can replace the textures for the buttons (like i did in line 203 and 211) with some custom textures :)
you can make custom textures with gimp/photoshop

it can look like this:

Is there an easy way to remove the grey border and border-radius?

as you can see, the textures for action bars are made of 1 picture, your only chance is to edit and replace the textures :)

Interesting. Im having difficulty finding the directory to find the textures though, if you can believe it...

button:SetNormalTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\UI-Quickslot");

Cant seem to locate it ;/

this is hidden in the MPQ file, you cant acces it without a program :/

here you can download them for edit:

http://en.file-upload.net/download-1129 ... t.tga.html

dont forget to save your images in TGA format!
then you can put them into the bongos folder and make a new link like i did in my example

i edit my files with GIMP

I think I'm on the right path anyway! I'll tinker with it more. Thanks a mill for the help! :D
