Touche. What would look better, class color cast bar with black background or vice versa?

Also, that's a lot of buttons to be clicked... try using Squire2 or something for your mount, and OPie for infrequently used spells like blessings and cooldowns.

Normally, I hate having my raid frames off to the side, but I was going for a setup in which I would have better feet visibility for mechanics. I don't click, I have everything keybound, but the point of the bars is for alts, etc, to remind me where they are.

I used the brighter bar texture to pull focus onto the raid frames. I might end up doing a slightly transparent grey or black, similar to the chat panel.

Those are the target buffs/debuffs, I'm just targeting myself in this picture :P

Normally, it's a greyed out icon, but definitely. It bugs me A LOT when it pops up, but it's on the to do list.

Originally I had the title bar hidden on skada and I haven't moved it down yet. As for the bottom, well... I'm crying a little bit thinking about how long it would take to move everything up. Maybe I'll do a 10px bar on the top with sldt that hides in combat?

I tried that, but it felt off with the raid frames not having any spacing, it kind of looks weird.

Removed the Rep bar, had the exp bar enabled while on an alt (which includes the rep bar).
How do I hide at full on Shadowed Unit Frames?
