About Sunn - Viewport Art

Sunn's Viewport Art allows you to change the size of the rendered world area (viewport) and adds textured artwork in the non-rendered areas.

New: Dual-spec profile switching.

Problems? See the Frequently Asked Questions

Usage

Use "/sunnart" (or "/sa") for the options gui. Use "/sunnart help" for console commands

Panels

There are 4 panels in SunnArt, top, bottom, left and right. By default each will use the same theme although they can be set up with different themes, overlaps and dimensions using the advanced options.

Art Packs

Art packs are optional and should be installed as if they were separate addons (although they are useless without the SunnArt addon).

Extract the zipped folder into your interface/addons folder for it to function.

Previews of the artwork in the packs are available in the screenshots on this page.

Art Packs are available on this site

There are other art packs available that have been submitted by users. Search for "Sunn" on Curse or check for Optional Files on WoWInterface.

Custom Artwork

Artwork from any standard panels addon may be used with SunnArt. Just set them up using the in-game interface or by editting CustomTheme.lua.

File formats

  • Files must be .TGA or .BLP format
  • Be sure to set the alpha channel if your artwork contains any transparency
  • Panels can be constructed from 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 separate sections, numbered from left to right (eg. <art file>1.tga, <art file>2.tga ... <art file>5.tga)
  • Each section MUST have dimensions that are a power of 2 (ie, 128, 256, 512, 1024 etc) - this is a limitation of all artwork to be used in WoW.
  • Only files within the Interface\Addons\ structure are available to the addon

Using CustomTheme.lua

  • Save your artwork sections in Interface\Addons\SunnArt
  • Open CustomTheme.lua in any text editor
  • Follow the instructions in the file
  • Any number of themes can be set up in CustomTheme.lua

Using the in-game interface

All you need to know is the path to the artwork files, the amount of overlap and the number of sections the artwork is split into. Enter these into the Advanced options screen, Enter a name for your theme and click save. The theme will now be available to all your characters.

Submitting Artwork

I'm looking for a talented artist or two to help create a new Art Pack. Please submit your editted files or a complete screen-size file so that I may split it into compatible files and create a "How-To" tutorial for others.

If you have artwork that you would like to submit for Art Pack 10 and onward, please mail it to sunnart@uksf.com and if I like it then I will include it in the next release.

These are some addons that will help organise your UI so that elements may be moved off the world screen and into the artwork areas of this addon. All of these addons use the same libraries as Sunn Viewport Art, which means alot of the code and resources are re-used rather than bloating your UI with lots of different code that does that same thing.

Action Bars - Dominos or Bartender4

Minimap - BasicMinimap and Minimap Button Frame or SexyMap

Chat Frame - Prat

Unit and Raid Frames - Pitbull and Grid

    Is it possible that when I make a panel. (left) instead of the panel covering up my viewable area of the game, It moves the viewable area over. I am trying to setup a dual monitor setup to where I can move unnessary items to my left monitor. When i make a panel on my left monitor, It covers over the viewable area in the world frame.

    Yes,  check "resize viewport" in the left panel options.

I have alot of skins and I am just getting into creating my own skins and I realized that it was getting a little difficult to locate the skins. also i tryed ading it and transfereing the skins to it but the file loating thing in game cant find them......maby i am typing it wrong in the bar? i typed    (Sunnart\skins\Skin-1). any info would be most apreciated.

    Adding your own skins folder should work exactly the way you describe,  the only caveat is that the artwork must be available to WoW when WoW is first loaded.  Any files added or removed while WoW is active will not be recognised.  I personally have the folder "Interface/Addons/CusomArt" which I access with CustomArt/skinname in game.

    The reason I don't have a Skins folder in the SunnArt addon is because of the way curse client updates addons.  When updates are made,  the entire addon folder is removed and replaced by the update.  Be aware that if you add a folder within the addon's file structure and update the addon with the curse client,  you will lose any files that are not included in the update.  This won't affect you if you update manually by downloading the zip.

    Hi guys. Love the addon,it breathed new life into the game for me. Downloaded the Diablo pack and love it. Been using Mistra's Diablo Orbs but there seems to be a compatability issues with it. Certain designs in the orb won't animate like the Dragon Skin and the orbs wont drain as you loose health and mana. What Diablo Orbs pack are you guys using. Thanks for this great addon and keep up the greath work.

    This is a great add on that does just what I want it to, thanks. But, when I use it to resize the vertical I get this weird double negative image effect. Can anything be done to eliminate that?

    I use Paint.NET and sometimes GIMP,  but any Image editor will do the job.  I use ImageMagick for format conversions.

    I have a small request. My character is a mage. He's frost or fire. So, when I switch specs I also switch my Sunn Art picture to match his current spec. Is there a macro or another addon I could use that would allow me to switch the pictures with a single click? Something like:

    "/usetalents [spec:1] 2; 1

    /sunnart activate-other-picture-or-something"


    Thank you.

    The console command to change the artwork theme is:

    /sunnart global theme <theme number>

    You can get the list of themes and their corresponding theme number by typing just "/sunnart global theme"

    Or,  if your setup is more complicated,   you could set different profiles and switch between them with:

    /sunnart profiles choose <profile name>

    There is a console command for everything that exists in the normal options of the addons and it can all be used in a macro.

    Hope that helps.
