You can help translate PitBull for your language with the localization tool.
Classic
PitBull works with WoW Classic! Classic Era/Vanilla is supported in
v4.3.x-vanilla
releases. Cataclysm Classic is supported in v4.2.x
releases
(the same releases retail use).
Classic Era caveats:
- Aura duration is not available from the API, so PitBull uses LibClassicDurations to show them. The duration can be inaccurate if it's affected by rank or talents.
- Cast info is only available for your spells from the API. PitBull uses LibClassicCasterino to show cast bars for other units, but this can be inaccurate since there is a lot of guess-work involved.

I can see where you are interested in more flexibility with the sizing as you want to actually grow the frame size by adding it, instead of keeping frame size the same, which is more what the non-position as bar option is more about, but that section tends to be more scaling not just scaling one way which is more what you are after.
I think one of the current development plans will be the solution you are looking for... its just not ready for deployment yet. And yes that's as frustrating an answer as a Blizzard soon(tm), but its the best I can offer today.
However... that being said... the unnamed development plan that I thought would be a good solution for you.... he confirmed would indeed work as I thought which will give you the flexibility you are looking for.
So check back in a Blizzard Soon!
As far as priorities go... we tend to fix bugs first and if we are working on a feature that will fix multiple requests at once... those tend to move up the line. (ie, this solution will solve the ticket requests of 10 different tickets!) So we aren't ignoring requests... it just takes time to get to all of them.
Remember that addons fall into the "hobby" category for the majority of authors. Real Life jobs have to come first. (I know its not visible but, Shefki does put a huge amount of effort into PB4. We haven't been out to a movie in months!)
So I know you don't want to hear it... but please be patient. :)
(PS this info is in the FAQ)
The main problem seems to be Pitbull not recognizing players, or associating the wrong name with players. For example: one name displayed multiple times, or in some cases a "party/raid member #2" displays in place of a player's name.
Also, is it possible to make the aggro/debuff border "glow" instead of just replacing the border's color? To make it more easily noticeable.
Thanks.
Doing a /reloadui will fix it for a brief period of time.
There are a few different options on the border, thick, thin, etc, as well has design choices. You might want to try a different option to see if it achieves the look you are going for.
Yesterday a party member went offline and afterward their name was displayed on someone else's frame. When the offline player was removed from the group the name of the other player became "party member #2".
I just tried doing it again and it didn't mess up. I'll post back here if I run across any steps that can be taken to actually recreate it.
I know Shefki has been raiding with beta19 and hasn't ran into the issue at all yet. Its hard to fix what you can't see regularly :\
I have raids this weekend, so I'll really try to remember what I'm doing if it messes up. Thanks.
1) Create a new layout called "Party" based on "Player" layout.
2) Go to groups and create new group called "Party"
3) Select "Party" group.
4) Attach "Party" Layout to "Party" group.
5) Go to the last tab and select this group to show only when in party.
6) Set configuration (for dummy bars) to "Party".
You get the name "Party" in the center of your screen and it is not moveable, and no bars or frames at all to make adjustments for etc.
This happens for anything that has to do with "Groups". If you make a unit frame on it's own everything's fine. As such, I'm being forced to use the blizzard party / raid frames ... and it blows goats!
You can still configure your Party or raid frames. Use a singleton frame your layout and then apply to your frames or configure in a live group.
Party frames still show up... just not the dummy version in config mode. This is not the same issue and is a separate issue.
