Spell Alert Opacity

Guides UI and Macro
1

I tried doing a bit of googling but everything I find is about turning off/on spell alerts. For some reason my opacity slider jumps from the middle to off. I’m trying to get my opacity set lower than what the slider is offering me. Does anyone know if there is a reason my slider won’t allow me to set it any lower?

I have tried disabling all add-ons to see if that was causing the issue but no luck. The slider works fine going from middle to high but once it gets to the middle it will either stay there or jump to off.

***Editing here because I deleted other post after trying the command.

I tried the command but it doesn’t look to have any impact. Thanks for the reply though, its good to know it isn’t a problem with me. I might look into setting up a WA that acts the same as blizzards but with the option to lower opacity down all the way.

It seems it was an intended change in Legion to only allow values between zero and 0.5 to 1.0

<OnValueChanged>
	value = math.floor(value * 100 + 0.5) / 100;
	if (value ~= 0) then
		value = math.max(0.5, value);
	end 
	self.value = value;
	self:SetValue(value);
	SetCVar(self.cvar, value);
</OnValueChanged>

Still looks like a bug to me, why wouldn’t they want to finetune it or just allow 0.1 to 1.0 and interpret zero opacity as “Off”?

This command should work
/console spellActivationOverlayOpacity 0.2
