#1405 Panel Location moves with bar scaling
1.Latest build from TWW
2. Latest 8.1.2 BUILD
3. Windows 11
4. Scale the bar lower then higher again and everyiteme it moves further down
5.
Since the update on 28-08-2024 the bar scaling affects where the bar is placed, It moves from the top of the screen to the middle of the screen depending on what scaling factor is used
It affects my profile when bars "short 1 - 4 " are used, not the profile with the "top" bar

As you change the Titan scaling, the bars will move, I believe.
The latest update made a change to not 'walk' the Titan bars on reload or logout / login.
Do the Titan bars move on a reload or logout / login?
For my curiosity, why are you changing the Titan scaling? Do you do this often?
My apologies if the change impacted your game play. I need to understand more why this is an issue for you.
After the update the bar was moved down from the top to the middle of the screen. reload login / logout doesn't affect my bar placement. When i logged in today the bar was in the middle of the screen, which didn't happen before this update
I just changed my scaling, because i am on a G9 NEO 49" display, where 1.0 scaling doesn't make any sense. But i don't play arround with the scaling for giggles, i leave it where i set it usually. i played arround today, because of the issue i mentioned
If i add more "short" bars they are stacked vertically. I believe before they where placed horizontally ?
Correct, that was just to get them visible.
There isn't a way to vertically move the bars if they don't snap to the top (even after relogg / reload) or is there a way?
Other than drag & drop, no. What is the issue you have? Exact placement; hard to move; or some other?
I am open to some method although I cannot start any changes until Oct. Possibly a 'nudge' using arrows & modifier (assuming capture of the right keys).
Any thoughts? :) If you are a dev, I never assume talent or interest!, I am also open to incorporating changes from others.
The issue is the bar isnt at the top of the screen anymore, not after a relog not afer a reload it just stays in the middle of the screen. And any further adjustments to the scaling further affects where the bars stays.
How can i drag and drop the bar top the top?
I am not a dev sadly, at least i am not fluent in lua code. But i will have to look into it if i can't figure out why my bar won't go back to the top of the screen :P
(Dim) light bulb... Are you using shift+left mouse when dragging?
Reading Titan Panel > Titan Panel Help will give more info and tips regarding short bars moving and sizing.
If you want the bar at the top, let it go 'beyond' the top and it will snap down.
One item not in the help = there is a small section on the left of each bar just to allow dragging or getting the bar menu.
even i try to move the bars this way "TOP" is about 1 / 3 down of the screen it does snap to right and left side but the "top" just isn't at the top anylonger
I attached a short capture
oh my... thanks for the video.
Guess I need more checks.
Please give me your:
- Screen resolution
- Titan scaling
- Game scaling (not sure I need it but might as well ask)
Did you just change monitors by chance? It could just be my last changes too...
I'll look at it later tonight.
I didn't change my monitors.
Resolution 3440x1440
UI Scaling 73%
Titan Bar Scaling 0.83
Titan UI Scaling 0.73
Setting the Titan scale below 1, I see the bars not snapping to edge.
Various tools, docs, and output say it should be correct. Still looking for that missing item . :/
My suggestion is set Titan scaling to 1.0 (or close).
For now this is a limitation. I tested this on my system.
When the Game scaling and Titan scaling are both below one, we run right into the fact that WoW does not treat the monitor as X,Y with scaling in pixels. It uses 'scaled units' = missing item :).
The effect is we are asking WoW to scale below what it can handle resulting in a virtual screen smaller than the actual.
Explaining the why would take a long note with links - not sure I understand all the details.
A fix may need to calculate a custom scaling (Game scaling) so Y works then calculate X based on the aspect ratio of the monitor. More than I want to do in the short term, if ever!
And Retail is different than Classic versions, I discovered...
Alright :)
I am running this setup like this (including titanpanel) for more than 10 years. The issue however is something new. If they were changes with TWW i do not know.
I am using the "top" bar as workarround, since only short bars are affected
The top & bottom bars use offset placement so they are not as impacted. They use screen top left and screen top right - bar height style rather than offset from lower left (as 0,0) used by short bars.
The new is short bars which I implemented last year. You can place them on the screen so Titan needs to calculate the screen edges - that is where the problems started.
At the moment I doubt it was a TWW change.

This was a refresher on the challenges of implementing short bars :).
Have fun!
