The main focus of SUF is having a simplistic configuration, while maintaining flexibility that the vast majority of users care about, this prevents unnecessary bloat that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set that you want the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the health bar, you can change options that you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. All configuration can be done on multiple units at the same time through the global configuration, meaning if you want to set the height of Player and Target frames to 50, but then you want to set the height of Target's Target and Target's Target of Target to 30 you can easily do that with changing only two options, instead of having to do it four times for each unit.
Should you be one of those people who needs a little bit of extra configuration then do not despair! An advanced configuration option is included that will enable more unit and general settings giving you better control over everything

Anchoring
For those who are driven crazy because their frames look to be half a pixel off center of your player frames, you can simply anchor the frame to the player frames and solve the hassle of aligning everything. For example, the target frames are anchored to the right of the player frame, and the Target of Target frames are anchored to the top of the player frames (In the screenshots).
If you tried to drag player, all the other frames will follow it in the same anchoring. Each frame can still be manually positioned and put wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring everything and keeping frames nice and aligned without having to use a ruler.
Visibility
Entire units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on zone type; for example, say you want to enable party targets while in arenas but not in a raid instance, or maybe you want to see your targets cast bar in arenas but not in raid instances you can easily change the module to only be enabled in arena zone types. You don't have to swap any profiles or do anything manually.
Units
Supports unit frames are as follows:
Player: Player, pet, pet target General: Target, Target of Target, Target of Target of Target, Focus, Focus Target Party: Party, Party pets, Party targets Raid: Raid, Main tank, Main tank target, Main assist, Main assist target Arenas: With the arena frame module you can add Arena, Arena target, Arena pet units
Features
Tags: Includes a simple tagging system that can be customized in virtually any way using Lua, so even if something isn't included by default odds are you can make the tags
Incoming heals: Supports LibHealComm-4.0 for incoming heal data which gives you more accurate information including heal over times and channels like Tranquility and Penance
Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't
Aura timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs
Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)
Druid power/rune/totem bars: Supports simple rune and totem bars as well as Druid mana bars for the player frame
Highlighting: Can highlight frames off of mouseover, debuffs you can cure, aggro, target and focus
Range checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you
Exportable layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager
Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle
Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.
Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

Shadowed, love all your addons, by far some of the best ones available.
My request is pretty simple I would imagine; I would like to see a tag for currently watched reputation %, and current experience % as a tag that i can show on my 'empty bar' or any other bar for that matter.
I realize their is a bar that does this already, but the bar alters the 'look' of the unitframe, where the % doesn't.
i tried using the add tag editor, but im just not savy enough with coding to make any sense of it.
It's standard behavior for SUF, not really something I am going to change for one mod that's using a bit of a hack. I believe the UNIT_COMBO_POINTS event that the mod is using is supposed to fire on target change though, so it might just be a hole in when the events are being fired for it. I'll look into it later today.
And again, another pet issue in a 5-man party, this time with more recent alpha build 598d2ef.
Was in BRD to do the Brewfest boss. A hunter arrived via the portal machine (from the entrance). Had pet with him (didn't summon it)...and it did not appear as a party pet frame. Sometime later in combat, however, the frame did appear. Didn't have time to do the slash command before combat so don't have that output.
It can't, I want to add it but I need to think about it a bit more before I do so. Don't think I want it to simply flip buff/debuffs based on hostility.
''- Added option to anchor an aura group to another to mimick the default UIs style, option can be found under /suf -> Units -> <unit> -> Auras, "Anchor to <buffs/debuffs>"''
Could this be inverted somehow for friendly vs enemy units? I want to see debuffs at the top/buffs on bottom on enemy targets for example, and the other way around when targeting friendly targets. I think this is what the default unitframe does by default, and Xperl aswell if i remember correctly after using it months ago.
that's exactly how my sorting is setup, and whenever i try to change the frame anchor, it resets back to top right after i've moved the raid frames into position.
Originally posted by cafebeanant having the exact same problem with the party/raid frames not lining up. sometimes the positioning is waaay off, but that seems to vary depending on things like the frames being moved. the constant issue i face is that the frames do not line up in their correct position. for example, i have a 5x5 raid frame setup, sorted in vertical groups, from left to right. so when i form a raid, i should see myself in the top left position, with my group lined up beneath me, with the other raid groups expanding to the right. but that never happens, i always end up in a sort of "middle" position, and the next person is always directly below me, regardless of which group they are actually in.
here's a diagram to clarify. this is how my layout should work
but the order raid members are actually displayed is like this
x x 10 5 x
x x 8 3 x
x x 6 1 x
x x 7 2 x
x x 9 4 x
and so on... (i can't remember the positioning of people after number 10). bear in mind that the GROUP numbers are being totally ignored, so if i form a raid and put the 2nd person in group 2, they will still display in position number 2 going by the second diagram. if i move them to group 3, they do not move on my raidframes.
i've messed around with the settings as much as i think is possible, but no luck.
Sums up my issue well, happens with group as well. I notice it also depends on the positioning of the frame...my party window is near bottom of screen, if I move it up some the issue auto fixes itself. I will get a SS next time.
cafebeanant: It sounds like your sorting is a bit off, you want to enable sorting by INDEX/ASC order, and also go to /suf -> Units -> Raid -> Frame and set it to the "Top left" using a predefined anchor point, then redrag it to where you want.
