  • About BTex 2.7.3
  •  

Btex (for 'Bottom TEXture') is a very lightweight addon for World Of Warcraft providing Background texture at the bottom of the screen. It contains a package of pre-made skins, a simple menu for settings skins, texture height,width and transparency.

What can it do? :
-----------------
- Put a texture of your choice on the bottom of the screen via menu options (use /bx menu or /btex menu),
- Set height/width/transparency of your texture,
- Use any other TGA alpha channeled texture from other addon like Xart or ElectrofluxTextronator, or any other "pack" of skin,
- Work in any resolution,
- Display a grid to setup your interface correctly,
- Low memory usage.

Ready to use skins :
--------------------
The following skins are packaged and are ready to use via the options menu:
- Dark Shadow I,II,III,
- Simple Black,
- Fade Black,
- Red Fury,
- Warcraft Classic,
- Ice Dragon,
- Ice Dragon remake (credits to Xaphiroth),
- Ice Dragon remake with pet bar(credits to Xaphiroth),

FAQ :
-----
How do I run menu config ?  type "/bx Menu" or "/Btex menu" in the chat windows.

Why the download is so big ? it's because it contain many images.

Do the old XART skins work with BTEX? yes, just put them in the skins directory, and use the "custom texture" options on the dropdown menu.

Do the skin support alpha channel TGA? yes, and you can change the transparency of the bottom frame as well.

Can i use BLP file? not for now. buf if needed, i can add this, just let me know.

How can i add my own skin ? just put it in the /skins directory and choose "Load Custom" from the dropdown menu in game.
then follow insctructions. you can add all Xart texture compliant (512x256 pixel)x4, or make your own with Gimp or photoshop (they have to be TGA aplha channeled).

Is there any PSD template i can use to begin making my own skin ? just go to : http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11906-BtexPSDforskinmaking.html I recommand you use The GIMP or if you have money Photoshop

    Hi!

    I would really like to use this addon since the low memory usage, but I have a problem:
    I use the addon SFSkins to make my ui a bit more fun, but when I use btex, my sfs disappears =/ I have tried to turn off ALL my addons except btex and sfs, and this still occurs. I don't have any other addon to test this, so I guess the problem is with sfs? Or is there anything you can do to fix this, so that btex is always the very background? Because if I set a lower opacity I can see sfs, but I would like the btex to be completely "solid" and still be able to see sfs.

    I've been having issues that makes me unable to interact with anything that is around 100px from the bottom of my screen. For instance I have my minimap (simpleminimap addon) on the bottom where the clock touches the bottom edge of my screen and I am unable to interact with that clock when, for instance, I am trying to set the alarm. The only solution I have found is to turn off BTex which makes me quite sad....quite sad indeed.

  • I wanted to know if there is a way to make the drop down list dynamic, so it will show all available art, and not just the default that came with the addon. Thanks
