Shadowed Unit Frames - WoW AddOns

SUF focuses on a simple configuration while maintaining the flexibility that most users will care about, preventing unnecessary bloating of the addon that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the unit frames, you can change options you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. To speed up configuration, you can configure multiple units at the same time through the global configuration. For example, if you want to set the height of the Player, Target, Focus and Party frames to 50 then the height of Target's Target, Target's Target of Target, Focus Target to 30 you can easily do this by changing two options instead of having to do it seven times.

However, should you need a little bit of extra configuration do not despair! An advanced option is included that will unlock additional configuration giving finer control over the configuration.

Donations
Donations are not required, but are appreciated!

Anchoring
Are you driven crazy by your party frames not aligning up exactly with your player frames, even if it's only half a pixel off? The anchoring system will let you solve all alignment issues, by allowing you to anchor a frame to another and set a simple offset from the frame it is anchored to, or by manually setting the X/Y position of the frame.

Using the screen shot as an example, if you drag the player frame the other frames will move with the player frame preserving the alignment and spacing. Each frame can still be manually positioned wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring and moving frames around without having to use a ruler.

Zone configuration (Disabling options/units by zone type)
Units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on the type of zone you are in. For example, if you want to see party targets and party pets while you are in an arena but nowhere else then you can use the visibility options to enable it only while inside an arena. Modules can also be disabled by zone type, if you want to see party auras while in a raid instance but nowhere else you can disable the module in raid instances only.

Profiles do not have to be swapped and it is all automatic.

Units
Supports unit frames are as follows:

Player: Player, Pet, Pet Target
General: Target, Target of Target, Target of Target of Target, Focus, Focus Target
Party: Party, Party Pets, Party Targets
Raid: Raid, Raid Pet, Main Tank, Main Tank Target, Main Assist, Main Assist Target, Boss, Boss Target
Arena: Arena, Arena Target, Arena Pets
Battleground: Battleground, Battleground Target, Battleground Target

Features

Tags: Includes a simple tagging system that can be customized in virtually any way using Lua, even if something isn't included by default odds are you can make the tags
Incoming heals: Supports the Blizzard Events for incoming heal data, no external libraries needed
Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't
Aura timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs
Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)
Class power (Eclipse, Holy Power, etc): Supports all of the class power features from Eclipse to Burning Embers.
Highlighting: Border highlighting of frames based on mousing over them, curable debuffs, aggro or you are targeting/focusing them
Range checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you
Exportable layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager
Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle

Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.

Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

Currently released:

Aura indicators for unit frames
Smoothbars for unit frames
Trinket based tags
Damn Unit Sounds, not technically a SUF module it will restore the Blizzard sounds on targeting, focusing or toggling the PVP flag

I get the following error using Holy Shock on my Holy Paladin:

Message: ...e\AddOns\Blizzard_CombatText\Blizzard_CombatText.lua:266: Usage: UnitPower("unit"[, type][, unmodified]) Time: 05/19/13 12:35:20 Count: 45 Stack: [C]: in function `UnitPower' ...e\AddOns\Blizzard_CombatText\Blizzard_CombatText.lua:266: in function <...e\AddOns\Blizzard_CombatText\Blizzard_CombatText.lua:94>

Locals: (*temporary) = nil (*temporary) = 9

EDIT: For clarification, the error occurs whenever a Holy Power is generated.

Hi,

First off, fantastic addon! Please keep up the great work with keeping it alive!

Secondly to my question; i'm playing a rogue, and would like to see the combopoints on my focus target (focus kidney etc). On normal "Target", the option for Combo Points are right there under General, but i cant seem to find it anywhere on the focus. Am i missing something or is this feature not supported? If so- is it possible to request it? or get a LUA mod i perhaps could just add myself?

Thank you! Daniel

I'm not sure if this is fixed in one of the alpha builds, but in the most recent stable version I am having issues with the enemy cast bars.

If I am anywhere near an enemy that is casting something, it shows up the cast bars, oftentimes overriding the cast bars for my current target. I'm not sure how to fix this, but was hoping I could get some advice on this or confirmation that it is a known issue that will be fixed soon.

I went to export from my main to other accounts I own, but the Layout Mangager tab would not appear on the other accounts. How do I ensure the Layout Manager tab appears so I can import?

Thanks.

I've created a DoT Aura Filter blacklist for each class however, you can only select one filter per frame. I did not realize that when I was creating them and was surprised it was limited to only one. Can you please take a moment to allow multiple Blacklist filters to be a selected/applied? Being a fellow addon creator(personal addon) it shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks, and I appreciate the addon, been using it for 2yrs now.

A really simple question that I cannot find the answer too, where is the ready check button? I wrote an alternative macro but there must be a ready check button in there somewhere. Thanks.

How can I make my Shadowed unit frames debuff icons larger? (larger than default, which is 30) without using Enlarge your auras.
