Hi, does anyone know if there are any standalone mods that will only show how many friends and/or guild members are online? Just something like 2 small frames that display a number that can be dragged to any position.

Thanks =)

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...cialState.html (the big window should only show when you hover over the friend/guild online status text) should work with a LibDataBroker addon. I'm sure there are LibDataBroker addons that can create individual frames too.

Fortress and StatBlockCore are the main "individual frame"-type LDB display addons.

Is it possible to snag the textures out of Vuhdo? I don't use the addon as I personally don't like it but I really like the polished wood texture.

Yep. Just add the texture to shared media. Should be a statusbar folder for statusbar textures. Then add it in the sharedmedia.lua so it loads it. You will have to completely restart wow for the texture to load, a simple reload UI will not work.

Hmm, I wasn't able to find anything. I'll have to search again later right now I'm entirely to tired. Thanks for the response!

I have a question about Pitbull 4. I want to be able to get rid of my name, class, and level, but keep it for my target. I am not good with lua coding, so could someone help me with doing this?

I had to download Pitbull cause i hadn't used it since wrath days. From what i can see which is REALLY awkward IMO and probably why i stopped using Pitbull among many other reasons, you need to make another "layout" in the layout editor options. Call it player or whatever and within that new layout go to the "Texts" tab -> current text dropdown select lua:name and disable. Then go to the "units" option on the left -> current unit select player and change the layout of the player unit to whatever you named the layout that you created to disable the name text.

I was /facepalming on how awkward Pitbull is just to change something so small, and i would suggest trying out a different unit frame addon as ANYTHING is easier to customize than that crap. Also noticed Pitbull is a memory pig compared to every other unit frame addon out there.

I completely agree with you. I remember using pitbull during Wrath for a while because it was famous for being the most customizable unit frames addon, iirc.
Now shadowedUF basically does everything you could want it to do and is comfortable to customize.

I am looking for an addon or mod that is similar to OmniCC with adding digital text on your action bars to track cooldowns, and not with enemy buffs. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out how to turn enemy buffs off with omnicc.

Personally I find Stuf unit frames to be even more customizable and easier to make changes. A lot more freedom to put anything anywhere you want. There's no anchor to top left, top, center, bottom right and so on, in Stuf it's all just simple (x, y) placements. You could literally have player health bar bottom left corner of you screen and power bar way in the top right of the screen. (No one would ever do that but just to explain you can move everything to where you want) If I remember right Shadowed doesn't allow you to really size and move the power bar with such freedom. Stuf allows this and with every single element of each frame.

And it uses only 600kb in memory. One of the lightest unit frames out there that do not require lua editing to change things (such as OUF)

So sUF is better and easier to use compared to Pitbull?

Didnt even see your reply. So Stuf is the way to go then?

Try both out and see what you like. My personal preference is Stuf. I've tried them all over the years and Stuf is the only one I stuck with because its so easy to navigate and is almost limitless to how you can make it look. It's also the lighter of the 3. (Pitbull, SuF, Stuf)

WeakAuras is all you need for this. Just set up the according auras for the abilities you want to track. I believe in triggers, choose status -> cooldown spell. type in the spell name and at the bottom invert it so it shows when ready instead of when on cd.

[psychoholic123]

Weakauras simply replaces so many addons with it's capabilities...

Indeed, it does so much you really can create addons within this addon if you get creative enough.

Hi all.
I have tried ElvUI for a while. I think that the HUD is great, it is really comfortable. On the other hand i think it is really ugly, and i think that there is nothing more fascinaing that the original UI and that is the fact that brought me to re-use it. But, as i said, the HUD was perfect for me. So i am asking you which addons should i take for:
1)Simulate the ElvUI hud i.e. in the middle bottom of the screen having three panels in line (mine one, focus' one, target's one) each one with its own debuffs (and not buffs). It would be great if the panels could be bigger (for example to see well how many stacks of a spell i have). All maintaining the original ui.
2)Enlarge the boss frame (i know that is pretty useless but in the Stone Guards encounter it is way easy to watch the progress bar of energies instead of watching DBM counters.

Thanks in advance and sorry for bad english.
