Aggro Icons

[stinkydawg]

I have been using an addon called AggroAlertII which is attached to Titan panel. I have recently discovered that Titan is quite large and a part of the issues I am having with my system performance. I would like to modify the original addon to stand on its own and only leave in the icons portion. Unfortunately I cannot figure out the code for this project. I was wondering if someone out there could help an extreme newby to try and develop a very small addon to add icons to the player frames if that party member or player has aggro from a mob.

I appreciate this site greatly and love reading and trying to learn, however I am beginning to believe that addons are not the place to start learning code.

BTW, I found that this mod is still in developement, but does not support custome ui player frames and has far more options than I need. I would still like some help trying to figure out how to do this on the icon only basis, but understand if modifying an existing addon may be unethical.
