About Glamour
BETA STATUS
This project has reverted back to a beta status since 5.0.4. The addon still works as a library for addons which call it for custom alerts and Seems todo okay with normal achievement alerts but there are some issues that i'll be working to resolve over time when I can. If you do not subscribe to using beta software, I would ask you opt out of using Glamour at this time.
BUG REPORTS
Please report all bugs on the Glamour CuseForge website here: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/glamor/tickets/
Please do NOT make bug reports in the comments on this page. Lengthy, inconclusive bug reports posted as comments will simply be deleted and ignored. Bug reports need to include the following:
- What was happening when you encountered the error.

- Please include the names of any/all other Achievement related addons had enabled at the time of the error.
Glamour
Glamour is a stand-alone replacement for the default Blizzard Achievement Alert frame. It currently offers the following improvements over the Blizzard built-in alert interface:
- draggable anchor for relocating where your achievements are shown on your screen.
- increases the amount of alerts from 2 to 24 allowing your screen to really pop when you fire multiple achievements together.
- adds the ability to instantly hide an alert frame by right-clicking it.
- left-clicking the alert frame will now open the achievement interface without closing all other open windows.
- Captures Blizzard Achievement Alerts (Personal and Guild)
- Captures Blizzard Dungeon Completion Alerts
- Captures Blizzard battle.net Toast Alerts
- Full set of slash commands to operate and test alerts.
In addition Glamour allows other addons to send customized alerts to its' frame, mirroring the fun and attention grabbing nature of the original Blizzard Achievement Alert frame. I created this interface to have a shared frame to hold alerts for when multiple addons fire alerts together. Developers are welcome to plugin to the alert interface for their own addons as well.
Suggested Addons
For an example of addons that utilize this interface see:
- Titan CurrencyTracker supports Glamour alerts for Token/Currency changes.
- Titan Reputation supports Glamour alerts for Faction Standing Changes.
- GlamourQuestGuru adds glamour notifications when completing quests: requires QuestGuru.
- Titan Archaeology supports Glamour alerts for fragments and alerts for completed artifacts.

Comments
thank your for all the work you do for a rockin addon...
I am still working on this and all my addons. I just haven't had much time to devote to them. I should have things working again before Mist of Pandaria's launch date. But currently have no ETA on an update at this time.
Please say you are. I find this to be an absolutely necessary addon, as it allows me to move the pop-up notifications from on top of my healing grid. Would love you forever for an update. =D
Dear papsol,
Are you still working on this add-on?
how do i get in the options menu so i can adjust the settings or drag the banner to another place on the screen ?
Is there a way to make them just the tiny little squares?
Either way, awesome addon.
I play in french, maybe that is waht causes the issue ?
Good continuation :)
