If you have LibSlash installed, settings can be set via /sqr or /squared. The syntax is as follows: /squared option value(s) - if you omit any values, the current value of the setting will be displayed instead.
So for instance, to set the border color, I'd use the following command:
- /sqr bordercolor 100 50 100
If you don't have LibSlash, you can get and set options via /script and Lua function instead:
- /script Squared.GetSetting("option")
- /script Squared.SetSetting("option", value)
To reset all settings to their default values, use the following command (capitalization counts):
- /script Squared.ResetSettings()
Help with values:
- Settings that are toggles can be set to (true, on, 1 or yes) to activate them, or (false, off, 0, or no) to deactivate them.
- Settings that are numbers can be set to any number.
- Settings that are directions typically have 4 options: (up, down, left, right)
- Settings that are colors are set as RGB (red, green, blue) triplets, which can be entered with most normal separators, spaces included.
The following default settings are available for Squared (in addition to the color customization options):
| Setting | Default | Description |

| boxheight | 68 | The height of each bar. |
| boxwidth | 68 | The width of each bar. |
| bordersize | 4 | The size of the border around each bar. |
| alpha | 1.0 | The tranparency value for each bar (1.0 = opaque, 0.0 = invisible). |
| namelength | 5 | The length to which names are truncated. |
| showicon | true | Whether or not to show the icons on bars (for now, just class icons). |
| showmenu | true | Whether or not to enable right-clicks showing the options menu for units in group/warband mode. |
| direction-group | down | The direction in which groups are ordered away from the anchor. |
| direction-member | right | The direction in which group members are ordered away from the first member of the group. |
| direction-column | down | The direction in which columns of groups expand. |
| spacing-group | 0 | If this value is greater than 0, it will add a gap between each group in the layout. |
| spacing-member | 0 | If this value is greater than 0, it will add a gap between the borders of each member in a group. |
| spacing-column | 0 | If this value is greater than 0, it will add a gap between each column of groups. |

| direction-fill | up | The direction in which the health bar fills within the unit's box. |
| invert-bars | false | If set to true, bars will become more filled the less HP a unit has. The default setting of false means that bars are more filled with more HP. |
| disable | false | Whether or not to disable Squared from appearing entirely. |
| disable-default | false | Whether or not to disable the solo-player display mode. |
| disable-group | false | Whether or not to disable the group display mode. |
| disable-warband | false | Whether or not to disable the warband display mode. |
| disable-scenario | false | Whether or not to disable the scenario display mode. |

| rangefading-freq | 0 | How often to update range fading, in seconds. Default is 0 (every frame). |
| rangefading-min | 0.2 | A multiplier for the "alpha" value, this sets the initial (least visible) state of fading. For instance, if the regular alpha is 0.8, then having this at 0.2 would result in the frame being initially faded to overall alpha of 0.16 and then getting more visible over time. |
| rangefading-max | 0.5 | A multiplier for the "alpha" value, this sets the final (most visible) state of fading. A frame will fade up this alpha times this, then "pop" up to alpha when it is no longer doing is fading. Setting this to 1.0 means that a frame will fade smoothly all the way back to the regular alpha value, with no "pop" at the end. |
| status-size | 10 | The size of the corner status indicators. |
|
This is not currently supported and may cause indicators to not display properly. | ||

| status-hot-selfonly | Disabled as of patch 1.0.6 | Whether or not to filter the hot indicator to only show hots that you cast on players. Currently disabled as Mythic removed the necessary info in 1.0.6, hopefully will be possible again once 1.1 arrives. |
| bufftracking-freq | 0.5 | How often SquaredBuffIndicators updates its indicators. |
| text-position-name | center | Where the unit's name is displayed. Possible values are center, top, bottom, or none. |

| text-align-bottom | center | The alignment of the text in the top text area. Recommended values are "center", "leftcenter", or "rightcenter". |
| deplete-off | false | Setting this option to true will cause the boxes to always be completely filled, if you prefer to not have the bar-like effect but instead just have them change color/text. Setting it to false will return to the standard bar-like functionality of the fill. |
| icon-position | center | Sets the anchoring of the center icon. Possible values are center (default), left, right, top, bottom, topleft, topright, bottomleft, bottomright. |
| icon-offset-x | 0 | Sets the horizontal position relative to the anchor point of the icon. Negative values are to the left, positive values to the right. |
| icon-offset-y | 0 | Sets the vertical position relative to the anchor point of the icon. Negative values are upwards, positive values are downwards. |
| icon-scale | 0 | Forces a particular scaling for the class icon. Setting this to 0 will have Squared use its own method for determining how to size the icon. Setting it to anything above 0 will use that exact scaling (if you want to change this, start at 1 and work larger/smaller from there). |

| key-assist | alt | Which modifier key will allow you to assist the clicked unit. Possibilities are alt, ctrl, or shift. |
| key-assist-final | false | If this is true, using the modifier key for assisting when clicking on a unit will not also target that unit. If it is false, then clicking with the modifier key will both assist and target the unit. |

zyziu Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:36:45OneEyedJack u r wrong for sure. 4th groupbordercolor is used to differ ur group from other groups and 5th for setting up a targeted person border color. Issue is if i target a person and its border is set to "white",and after that i hover my mouse (not clicking=target) on another person THE white border of targeted person is moved to "hovered" person.

OneEyedJack Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:08:34@Zyziu - The 4th and 5th lines in the list of settings above already address this.

afastrunner Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:22:24Will you being Debuff tracking? I'd love to be able to see people flagged who have debuffs I can remove. Extra points if a method of creating a priority list is possible.

Aiiane Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:32:21hierroo1, can you type /debug, make sure it says Logs (On), and then tell me if there are any red error messages when you're in a scenario that mention Squared?
Also, you might want to open a ticket in the ticket tracker so that the issue can be monitored properly.

Aiiane Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:19:11@Tezcat - go to Customize Interface -> Layout Editor -> Start Editing, and drag the 'Squared Anchor'.
@Arganot_Valmore - create an 'Enhancement' ticket about it.
- #54
Arganot_Valmore Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:05:29Can you include a libslash function to change the position and size of the name on the square please?
- #53
Tezcat Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:52:12How do I move the anchor position? I would like to reposition it on my screen.
- #52
Aiiane Wed, 08 Oct 2008 05:20:19@warmind - this is because they're probably not in a scenario party. The API does not provide status info for solo players.
@shigeru - you should be able to access the scenario parties by clicking the flag icon on the left of the compass during scenarios.
@Razor84 - settings are already saved from session to session.
@Darkami - did you turn on the "color-classbars" option? That's what enables the colorgroups actually being used.
@EACru2002 - there are various addons to do this; DieBuffsDie, BuffsBeGone, and WindowCleaner can all do this I believe.
