RGX-Framework
Shared media, UI helpers, and addon foundation primitives for WoW addon authors.
Retail Library AddOn
Overview
RGX-Framework is a Retail World of Warcraft shared addon foundation. One dependency gives your addon suite coordinated fonts, colors, textures, UI helpers, event plumbing, timers, slash commands, dropdown menus, minimap buttons, and a full addon lifecycle system — without duplicating any of it per addon.
It stays quiet for players and useful for authors. If another addon requires RGX-Framework, install it and leave it enabled. If you are building addons, use it as an alternative to Ace3 — a single shared library with a clean API and no embedding required.
Features
• RGXFonts — shared font lookup, fallback-safe paths, 30+ fonts
• RGXColors — reusable color helpers and drop-in color picker
• RGXTextures — shared status bars, panel textures, UI media
• Dropdowns — fully self-contained dropdown menu system
• Minimap buttons — drag-to-reposition minimap icon builder
• Event & message bus — RGX:RegisterEvent, RGX:SendMessage
• Timers — RGX:After / RGX:Every, no C_Timer dependency
• Slash commands — RGX:RegisterSlashCommand
• Lifecycle — RGX:OnReady(fn) / RGX:IsReady()
• Utilities — RGX:Print, RGX:Warn, RGX:Error, RGX:Mixin
What's New
• RGX:OnReady(fn) — queue callbacks that fire once the framework is fully initialized; fires immediately if already ready
• RGX:IsReady() — poll readiness state at any time
• RGX:Print / Warn / Error — colored [RGX] prefix output helpers (green / yellow / red)
• RGX:Mixin(target, ...) — copy all fields from source tables into target
• Dropdowns self-contained — ForceWidth uses RGX:After(0) instead of C_Timer.After
