When trying all those custom layouts posted all over this forum, I encountered a handful of problems which I suspect to be rather general ones. Since I am hopelessly inept at coding I hope for your help to help myself. Any pointers are welcome ;)
Here is what I see:
The colors of the health/mana bars sometimes remain standard (i.e. those awfull light green blue shades that don't contrast too well) instead of being changed to the advertised ones in the screenshots. I encounter this with an uncomfortably high number of layouts. Are the bar colors handled in a different file than the layout.lua? If yes, which one, and where? Are they superseded by some different settings?
EDIT: Forget about that, have found the solution. Looks like I have to play around with the colors myself for the layouts that don't supply the nurfed_units.lua... oh well...
A similar problem sometimes occurs with the backdrop, although with less layouts. Instead of being fully transparent (invisible) there's a grey semitransparent box. I've also seen this same grey shade instead of some dark almost non transparent backdrop. Like the bar colors, this completely ruins a layout :(
Much less frequently I encounter missing PvP icons or health percentage display, although they are shown on the screenshots.
I never see others mention those things on the forums, so I reasoned I'm missing something here. All I see is "Great work!" or "Looking good", but when I try them out it's completely different. Now I'd like to know what it is, and would really appreciate any pointers on how to fix this.
