ButtonFacade

About

ButtonFacade is a small add-on that allows for the dynamic skinning of button-based add-ons. The project was originally inspired by cyCircled.

FAQ

What add-ons does ButtonFacade support?

ButtonFacade doesn't support add-ons. Add-ons support ButtonFacade. Unlike cyCircled, which skinned other add-ons, ButtonFacade is a simple library that provides a skinning engine for add-ons to utilize. If you have an add-on that ButtonFacade doesn't work with, you need to talk to the add-on author.

Why doesn't ButtonFacade save my skin settings?

The saving of skins and their settings is the responsibility of the skinned add-on.

Why does ButtonFacade always reset to the "Blizzard" skin when I open the configuration window?

Since the saving of skins is done by the add-on, ButtonFacade can't track what skin is selected because it would have to know what add-ons are installed. However, you can select an add-on in the list and it will have updated ButtonFacade's GUI to display what skin is selected for that add-on.
