Lua Code:
  1. function ComposeNameText()
  2.     local nameText = frame.Health:CreateFontString(frame:GetName() .. "NameText", "OVERLAY");
  3. end

Lua Code:
  1. function ComposeReadyCheckIndicator()
  2.     local readyCheckIndicator = frame.Health:CreateTexture(frame:GetName() .. "ReadyCheckIndicator", "OVERLAY");
  3. end

Here's what it looks like at the moment.



I tried to use 'sublevel' argument, but unlike texture, fontstring doesn't seem to have a sublevel argument

At this stage, I've changed fontstring's draw layer to "ARTWORK" as a temporary solution.

My question is would modifying draw layer be the only solution to solve this problem?
Just create a invisible frame, then attach the text or icon which ever you want to be highest frame level.
