What’s new in 1.3.0
- Absolute Inspect: inspecting a player now opens an Absolute window in place of the game’s, with the same glass look as the character window. It’s movable and resizable, and the same lock setting applies. It shows their gear with item levels, their average item level, guild, spec (Retail) and 3D model.
- Try their gear on: Ctrl-click any of their items, or click Try this look on to put all their gear on your character in the Dressing Room.
- It stays filled in: the game only sends a player’s gear while they’re in inspect range, so the window keeps what arrived if they walk off or you change target. Open game window gives you the game’s own inspect window for talents and PvP.
- New setting Replace the game’s inspect window (on by default; in combat the game’s window opens) and the
/achar inspectcommand.
New in 1.2.4: the About tab. New in 1.2.0: the compact window, where the gold handle folds each tab’s side panel away.
