Titan Panel v 3.2.1
Titan Development Team: TristTitan, JakeTodd, HonorGoG, Lothayer, and JoeJanko 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Description

Titan Panel adds a fully configurable interface bar\control panel to your WoW UI.  This version is a fully-supported, somewhat rewritten update of version 3.1.1.  Because so much of the code has been rewritten, we are providing this help file.  A comprehensive list of changes can be found in the TitanPanelChangeLog.txt file elsewhere in this package.


2. Installation

If this is a new installation, or if you are upgrading from version 3.2.0 or later, place the contents of the zip file in your ..\Interface\Addons directory.

If you are upgrading from a version before 3.2.0, we highly recommend a clean install using the following steps:

- Step 1.  Removing these folders from your ..\Interface\AddOns directory:
   - Titan
   - TitanAmmo
   - TitanBag
   - TitanClock
   - TitanCoords
   - TitanGoldTracker
   - TitanHonor
   - TitanItemBonuses
   - TitanLootType
   - TitanMoney
   - TitanPerformance
   - TitanRegen
   - TitanRepair
   - TitanRider
   - TitanStanceSets
   - TitanXP

- Step 2.  Remove these folders from the same directory, if present:
   - BonusScanner
   - WeaponQuickSwap

- Step 3.  Delete the TitanHonor.lua file inside the ..\WTF\Account\<username>\SavedVariables directory.

- Step 4.  Place the contents of the zip file in the ..\Interface\AddOns directory.


3. Setup

   - Verify WoW recognizes the addon.  After signing on to WoW, click the AddOns button on the Realm/Character Selection screen.  Titan Panel should be checked by default.  If not, check it.  While there, check any unchecked addons, including Titan plugins, you want to display and uncheck any addons you don't want to display.
   
   - Display desired core functions.  After you enter the game, right-click a blank area of the Titan Panel and hover the cursor over Titan Built-ins.  All core functions should be checked by default; if not, click those that are unchecked.  You can also click any checked core functions you want to disable.

   - Important Note Concerning Rider:  Beginning with Titan Panel version 3.2.1, Rider will no longer automatically equip riding gear by default.  You MUST select the riding gear you want Rider to equip from the "Equip items" option on Rider's right-click menu.
   

4. Customization

You have numerous ways to customize the panel.  One way is to change the settings of core functions, which appear, like some plugins, on the right side of the main bar.  The following are the core function:

   - Auto-Hide (Push Pin icon).  Left-clicking this icon causes the bars to only appear when you move the cursor atop the bar.  Otherwise, the bars are hidden.  There is a separate push pin for the top and bottom bars.  The default setting is OFF.

   - Panel Control (aA icon).  Left-clicking this icon displays 5 slider bars with which you can control the scale of the fonts in tooltips (Tooltip Font), the transparency of Titan Panel tooltips (Tooltip Alpha), the scale of Blizzard's user interface (UI Scale), the scale of Titan Panel (Panel Scale), and the spacing of the right-side buttons on the panel (Button Spacing).  The default settings are Tooltip Font = 100%, Tooltip Alpha = 100%, UI Scale = 90%, Panel Scale = 100%, and Button Spacing = 25%.  You may reset these at any time by using slash commands. The slash command handler for Titan Panel is "/tp". Help text should assist you, if the need arises.

   - Panel Transparency (double-window icon).  Left-clicking this icon displays a slider bar with which you can control the transparency of the panel bars. "Main Bar" refers to the transparency of the default bar(s) (usually located at the top, though it can appear at the bottom if "Display on Top" option is unchecked), while "Auxiliary Bar" refers to the transparency of the bottom bar(s) (assuming you already have top bar(s)).  The default setting is 70% for both.

   - Volume Adjust (speaker icon).  Left-clicking this icon displays 6 slider bars with which you can control the volume levels of the following:  Master, Effects, Music, Ambience, Microphone, and Speaker.  The default setting are whatever you have previously selected in the WoW Interface.

   - Each core function, as well as the clock, gives you the option to disable it by right-clicking the icon and selecting "Hide".

A second way to customize Titan Panel is through plugins.  Plugins are controlled by hovering the cursor over a Plugins Category, such as "General" or "Information", and clicking an unchecked plugin to display it or clicking a checked plugin to hide it.  Some plugins have Readme files, like this, to guide you on their uses; some have directions for use on the addon download site; some have slash commands; most have hint text in their tooltip.

A third way to customize Titan Panel is through the Options menu, in the panel's right-click menu.  Here, you can:

   - Auto-Hide.  This works like the Push Pin icon-- selecting it will hide the bar until you put the cursor over it.  You must select this separately for top and bottom bars.  The default setting is OFF.

   - Center Text.  This centers left-side buttons on the bar.  The default setting is OFF (left-justified buttons).

   - Lock Buttons.  This locks the buttons in place, keeping you from inadvertently moving them.  (See Moving Buttons/Icons, below.)  The default setting is OFF.

   - Show Plugin Versions.  This displays the version numbers of individual core functions and plugins (if coded to do so) next to the plugins' names on the panel's right-click menu.  The default setting is ON.

   - Reset Panel to Default (Requires a UI reload).  This overrides any changes you have made and immediately reloads the UI.  If you report a problem with the panel, we may ask you to do this. The slash command "/tp reset" will produce the same result.

   - Bars.  There are three settings controlling how many bars are displayed and where.  The default setting is one top and one bottom.
     * To display one bottom bar only, select no setting (all unchecked).
     * To display one top bar only, select "Display on Top".
     * To display one top and one bottom bar, select "Display on Top" AND "Display Both Bars".
     * To display two bottom bars, select "Double Bar" (you should do this by invoking the right-click menu from the bottom bars).
     * To display two top bars, select "Display on Top" AND "Double Bar" (you should do this by invoking the right-click menu from the top bars).
     * To display two top bars and one bottom bar, select all three settings.

   - Show Tooltips.  This displays a tooltip when you hover the cursor over a button/icon.  The default setting is ON.

   - Hide Tooltips in Combat.  This turns off tooltips in combat so you're not distracted while fighting.  The default setting is OFF.

   - Disable Screen Adjust.  Titan Panel adjusts the Blizzard UI automatically so Titan Panel fits without overlapping frames, such as the minimap.  This allows you to disable this automatic adjustment.  The default setting is OFF.  You may want to check this in conjunction with Auto-Hide, since that setting hides the panel except when the cursor is over it.
     Note : Disabling screen adjust will have *NO EFFECT* on frames such as the combat log or your casting bar. Use the options described below to explicitly adjust those frames.
     
   - Disable Minimap Adjust. Explicitly disables the adjustment of the minimap. This is useful in cases you want to enable another addon to specifically handle that frame. The default setting is OFF.

   - Automatic Log Adjust.  This instructs Titan to pin/stick the chat log on top of your lowest action bar, so the chat log doesn't overlap the action bars (should only work on Blizzard default bars and not custom bars like those added/created by Bartender3 or Bongos2).
     Since this option has created a lot of confusion however, we recommend that you keep this off and manually move the chat log and lock it.  The default setting is OFF.

   - Move Casting Bar (Requires a UI reload).  This tells Titan to move the casting/hearth bar up when using the bottom Titan bar(s), so the casting/hearth bar doesn't overlap the action bars.  The default setting is OFF.

A fourth way to customize Titan Panel is by changing skins.  You can select a new skin from the Skin Settings option on Titan Panel's right-click menu.

Titan Panel saves the settings you select separately for each character on your account. The last option on the right-click menu, Load Settings, allow you to change the current character's settings to match those of another character.  Simply select a server and a character from Load Settings.  Functionality will be enchanced when it comes to profiles in due time.


5. Moving Buttons/Icons.

When you display additional left-side plugins, Titan will add each one to the right of existing buttons, alternating among the displayed bars, if more than one.  You can swap positions of any two left-side buttons by left-clicking one and dragging it atop another, even if they are on different bars.  Be advised that holding down modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) and attempting to move a plugin will not work (by design).

When you display additional right-side plugins, Titan will add each one to the left of existing icons, but will only display them on the main bar.  You can swap positions of any two right-side icons by left-clicking and dragging, as above.

Important Note:  This method of swapping buttons and icons was just added to Titan Panel.  Existing right-side plugins must be modified to allow them to be swapped in this manner.  Authors who wish to modify their plugins should contact the Titan Development Team.
Moreover, it is intended behaviour *NOT* to be able to swap plugins with the Titan Clock or the bottom bar Auto-Hide.
It is also intended *NOT* to be able to switch right-side icon plugins with regular ones and vice versa.
