Patch 6.7.1 is here!

Merely 3 days ago our big patch 6.7.0 was released and we already have exciting new features and crucial bug fixes fresh from the oven! Most likely this is the last patch before The War Within pre-patch releases in a couple weeks.

Breaking changes

To start off, we have a single breaking change, but honestly it shouldn't impact much of the user base. We have removed the "Applying Styles" process from the installer.

What does this mean?

Well, if you've selected the Classic ActionBars style or the Old UnitFrames style, those will get reset when you run the installer and apply a layout.

Why are we removing it?

Simply put, it has been slightly buggy and it unnecessarily increased the installation process by almost double the time. We want ToxiUI to be as simple as possible to use, and getting the user straight into action as soon as possible is crucial :)

New features

Now, let's get to the exciting part! First, we have now introduced options to select custom textures for your UnitFrames while in Gradient mode. By default, it doesn't change anything and you won't see a difference, but it opens up the possibilities to go wild and come up with some crazy designs :)

Along the same lines, we no longer force the texture on Details while in gradient mode, so you can do the same by changing the texture in Details configuration.

You can find the option to change the textures for UnitFrames in Themes → Gradient Mode → Settings. Some examples below -- I'm very excited to see what your creative minds will come up with.

The next exciting feature was suggested by a user from our community in GitHub! The ToxiUI Armory continues to get upgrades with two new options:

• Option to abbreviate and shorten labels for attributes (this should solve the issue on German clients)

• Option to display attribute icons! (only the main attributes currently have icons)

Let me know what you think and if you have any more interesting ideas, open a ticket on our GitHub page!

Aaand the last but not least new feature - we have added controls to the Gradient Mode's Saturation Boost feature. Calling it a Saturation boost is not really accurate, since you can't increase saturation above 1 (from my testing it had absolutely no effect). Nonetheless, you can take your gradient colors to the extreme, if you prefer it that way :)

Bug fixes

Moving on to bug fixes! First one's very minor - we have fixed the tooltip shown when hovering the ToxiUI icon in WunderBar. Now it correctly shows your plugin names and also we've included the same Details version fix that was introduced last patch to the Status Report window.

Next up is a pesky bug that appeared when creating a new character, selecting the ToxiUI profile on it but forgetting to set the Private profile. Usually we show an Update button in those scenarios, but due to last patch's BigWigs API changes, the called function no longer existed. We have removed that function call, so on your new characters you will have to either manually select the BigWigs profile or run the installer for it!

Profile updates

For profile updates, we have one small minor change - we have updated the default item level font for Armory in Cataclysm versions. It is now smaller and doesn't block the weapon enchant.

Documentation

As always, we have increased the minimum required ElvUI version to 13.70. Remember to always keep your AddOns up to date!

Development improvements

Speaking of ElvUI versions, we have introduced a new pop-up that will show up if you are trying to load ToxiUI with a outdated ElvUI. This should reduce the amount of questions saying "ToxiUI doesn't load" :)

And lastly some behind the scenes improvements. We've removed some unused code and removed a library which we don't need to have, since ElvUI provides it.
