    No errors, I just want to be able to put a slight border around mana bars to easily track at a glance where they are "percentage-wise" without any melding you get from mana->health cross-over...if this makes sense. A border would help define it.

    Also to add, would help with the Shaman class specifically since the colors are almost identical.

    You can enable a black background in the mana bar indicator settings.

     

    And to add a border, there are several ways to do that:

     

    - You can resize the height of the health bar just to leave a 1 pixel separation between the health bar and the mana bar.

     

    Or you can put a background a bit bigger than the manar bar behind the mana bar using a square/rectangle indicator, or a line between the mana bar and the health bar.

    * Goto Indicators > Right Panel

    * Create a square indicator

    * Goto the square indicator configuration layout tab.

    * And enable the "rectangle" option.

    * Now you can resize and place this rectangle behind the mana bar or between the health bar and mana bar (select a 1 pixel height size to create a line)

    * You must link a color to this  rectangle indicator so goto statuses > colors and create a black color, then link this color to the square indicator in the statuses tab of the indicator.

     

    -Another option is to use a different texture for the mana bar.

     

    -Or can change the color for the mana bar too, in statuses sections look for the mana status or the power status.

    I liked the line idea, so I went with that. I had to make multiple "lines" because the Width only went up to 50 (I'm using wide frames). However, I just ran into another problem. I have mana loaded for Healers only, is there any way to get these lines to only show up then as well?

    Below the width slider there is a small edit box there you can type any width value, or you can set zero width, this means: use the unit frame width. 

    The only way to hide the line is to link the mana color to the line instead of a static color, and configure a black color for the mana status. You must change the Mana bar color too and use another fixed color status linked to the mana bar.
