You can set this without a file.

Code:

PlayerFrame:SetScale(.5)

This information is not "accessible" to edit directly in a file (I think, not sure if scale can be stored in layout-local.txt).

I think your gonna have to create a addon to do it. There is no single file i have ever seen that will allow you to do this.

For the name font...

Code:

PlayerFrame.name:SetFont(font, size, flags)

TargetFrame.name:SetFont(font, size, flags)

FocusFrame.name:SetFont(font, size, flags)

Where (font, size, flags) is your own specification like ("Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf", 13, "THINOUTLINE").

As mentioned you'd want to make an AddOn with this code, or pop it into some other AddOn's Lua file.

There was something I thought of. There is a addon that loads up and allows you to write lua, you can also execute it and save it / mark it for execution at boot time. It keeps them orgnized in "books" I can't for the life of me remember the addon name, but that would work also.

@Nobgul: Was it _DevPad ?

it was hack. But they both do the same thing.

But I guess I am Weird. I have atleast 10 blank lua files that are loaded in a blank addon, If I find something I need to do i just write it reload and use it, If it is something I am going to keep then I put it into one of my addons.

Same here, although I have it as an extra LUA file in my personal development addon.
