HOW TO USE
----------

UnderHood comes with default layout suitable for all classes. To modify layout and/or add/remove bars, texts, etc use "/uh" chat command.

hello

nice ligthweight addon but :)
little questions here :
- is that intended to see the result of our config once created only by using F1 ?
- how do you remove the blizzard portrait and bar ? if I use your addon, I end by having both showing up.
- I tried to move the bars so they are not centered in the middle of the screen, I could do it easily for Health and Power bar, but the Druid mana Bar cant move as far as the two others.

1: Check General/Alpha settings. By default, if you have no target, not in combat and have full health and mana, everything becomes transparent.
2: Several people already asked me to add this behavior. Will add it in several hours
3: Hmm, I thought that 800 pixels away from the center of the screen should be enough... If not - let me know and I'll increase maximum.

thank you :))

will wait for your update and will then go for more testing, but so far I like it :))

Has this mod been moved to Trunk yet or is it still in Branches? Or is the download somewhere else?

EDIT: found it the Trunk, however WAU is not picking it up. No worries, it gives Tortoise something to do. Time to test this mod now...

Added an option to hide/show standard Blizzard frames. Check under General/Hide Blizzard Frames.

pet support and target of target support?

Check out the config mode SS, it shows pet and ToT.

I'm excited to get off work so I can check this out, I've been looking for a HUD that handled Focus and Focus Target as well as all the rest for a while.

Looks great from SSs so far Anadale

Have been a user of Icehud for a while.. This looks nice.

Request to community: send me your favorite textures so I'll include them into standard styles for bars :)

I like arced textures. My favorites are:

ArcHud: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/2258/
- nice and light but the ends are very thin (makes it hard to see that you're making any progress, especially in the beginning of the fight.

MetaHUD: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/3784/
- I like how the arcs fit into one another but wouldn't mind if they were "rounder"

- Deleting modules is working till i log out. On the next login all previously removed modules (buffs, icons, etc.) are back.
- Alpha with regenerating and energy (Rogue) is not working. If i have 70% energy the alpha will not change to the asigned value (from 0% to 75% in my case)
- there is some vertical bar on the left side (standard config) which i can't remove or move. I don't even know what kind of bar this is.

Woot, a HUD with focus bars. Can't wait to try it :)

i see you use dogtag .. does it mean i need librock framework for it?

does buffs and debuffs support omnicc cd numbers and animations?

@Quanik:
1 - will check right away
2 - hmm, it worked for my druid. will create a rogue and try.
3 - actually, the leftmost bar is a Threat bar (in default configuration). Are you sure that there was no errors in chat? Usually Threat bar is visible only if you have a hostile target.

@Luxus:
No, you do not need LibRock. Ckknight made DogTag absolutely framework independend.

I tried to copy my paladin's profile to my warlock. I got 5 errors:

Thank you for report, I hope that latest release address those issues.

Can we have an alpha slider for when we are casting a spell that doesn't require a target? (hearthstone, mount etc) Or maybe let it change alpha to regen state?

Good idea. Will be in a next release.

i get a try to it :D nay pics?
