reverse status bars (again)

That's a little bit different thing,
StatusBar:SetReverseFill(true) will just essentially mirror your status bar, and what I meant with "Reverse status bars" is that it also changes the way it behaves, i.e. at 100% HP status bar would stay at 0% mark, at 70% HP it would be 30% filled etc. (picture above actually represents it quite well).

The method posted above still works flawlessly @ live realms and should be quite easy to implement in any layout.

Actually I think it can be done a little bit differently using SetReverseFill, but it would require pretty much the same texture manipulations in PostUpdate or Override callbacks. MAYBE it would be a little bit more efficient performance-wise though.

I finally got my textures switched around so everything looked better but SetReverseFill(true) still didn't really work out for me. I tried to enable it on my player frame to get the bars to fill from left to right, and instead of filling the bars it actually shifted the textures and skewed them as the bar depleted. I tried a bunch of stuff to try to get them right but nothing seemed to work. I'll probably try again either later tonight or tomorrow and I'll see if I can fraps a vid of it.

oUF_Lust is the outcome of it for now.

You could simplify it down to:

Health:SetReverseFill(true)
Health.PostUpdate = function(Health, unit, min, max)
   Health:SetValue(max - Health:GetValue())
end
