oUF - General discussion

yes, got it working, but without a config menu, i can't see learning how to code just to get things how i like them...

Although I sure appreciate your response..

(much looking forward to an enhanced config menu)

Then this is not the unit frame solution for you.

[wurmfood]

There are several oUF layouts that have in game configs. However, most of the oUF layouts require knowledge of Lua to alter.

Look at these layouts if you want something with an in game config:
oUF_Nivaya
oUF_Smee2
Lunar Unit Frames

If possible could you add a function to the oUF core that can return the current style? This could be useful to libraries and other mods that require the name of the current style.

Currently aside from hooking functions there is no way to get a return value of the current style. Thanks!

Under oUF:RegisterStyle add:

function oUF:GetActiveStyle()
  return style
end

Currently you can only retrieve the style of header frames. I can start adding this to all frames (soon). The problem with returning an active style is the fact that you can have multiple "active".

No.

Perhaps I should have made it clearer, what I was suggesting is something that could be done in theory.

I'd prefer not having to modify the oUF_Core files. Otherwise I would have to alert others to do the same. Which is why I suggested it here as a proposed addition.

Consider this fixed with 48ce8b1.
