Working on something "minimal" atm.

I know, you won't consider it minimal, since there is some artwork in it and the font-selection may not be everyones taste, but the coding is minimal, since all oUF-styling functions are really really similar (calling abstract functions to create the general look and feel).

I would like some feedback, what do you think about font-selection, placement of names/hp values, styling of the buffs and general look?

Im not sure i like the health bar texture you are using. mainly because its a flat square with a rounded gloss on it. it just seems odd. im also not to sure why the far right frame is up so high. its just a personal gripe, but i like symmetry.

also, i would stretch the player/target frames out just a bit, or take the height down a bit. I cant tell because of the SS being of just the area with unit frames (as opposed to a full screen shot). but they seem either too tall, or too narrow for my likes.

The "offsetted" frame is focus, it's of course movable and was just thrown there...

The bar-texture is not flat, it's a very smooth gradient, keeping it very simple.

As far as sizes are concerned: These are really easy adjustable, as I said, all frames use nearly the same functions (at least the creation is done with one function), so the size is a parameter which is read from the config.

Party Frames are up ;D I still need to make the border color to threat, but other then that it's done.

Looking good Lily

But noticed your party's hp bar's border is over lapping the portraits border, is this intentional, coz it doesn't look right?

No I actually meant 2x6, 3x3(or 3x4), 2x6. I agree about the spacing between the actionbars however

I think he is saying add some action bars so the action bar area, is even with the unit frames like the following:

EDIT: Made a black outline box... wow i'm pro... hopefully you can see it though, lulz. I like it better the way you have it though.

EDIT2: Also, now that I look closer, you may want to shorten the text field on the ToT. It looks like it is overlapping the border just a bit.

Using oUF's aura-module, having a PostUpdate-function attached to target's debuffs which checks, if the buff is mine, else it is desaturated with

texture:SetDesaturated(true)

Probably very possible if you modify STUF's aura code, since lua is lua.

I dont know if you can but do you know where to place the code to make the buffs like that?

Something like the following - I have 1337 photo-shopping skills

You could have a bar there with various spells and/or items/potions/bandages which you don't necessarily keybind.

EDIT: The text also looks better if you remove the shadow and set MONOCHROME,OUTLINE as font style.

ooh I like this, hopefully my BF skin is able to be scaled to that height though.
I will try this right meow.

Also, I am just using OUTLINE style atm, only the cast bar has a backrop shadow since I am using quartz :< Maybe I should just Stuf's own cast bar.

I (personally) prefer it just the normal shadow without MONOCHROME, but will try it once again and post opinions :>

EDIT: BF and bartender sucks at scaling down xD I would probably need to go into my BF and scale everything down in half.

EDIT2: I could always just make a Panel for those buttons I guess. What were your measurements for them?

From the top of my head they are 22px both in width and height, border included.

EDIT: IT'S OVER ONE THOUSAND!

Finally got that damn threat working on my oUF like i wanted. Let me know what you think
