Optional Files - UnderHood
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I'd like to see ArcHUD style bars as an option. Very nice mod, by the way .
EDIT: There's also a bug. Right now, I *am* using ArcHUD, so I'm disabling the standard bars in this mod. Occasionally, however, usually after configuration I think, the bars come back, but in a "grey" inactive state.
Re: Target of Target Display, Character name too long.

Originally posted by Nosha Just switched to Underhood from MetaHUD and I like what I see so far, love the control I have over bar position and scaling and the amount of information I can now fob off to the HUD. Only problem I have is that my character name is Noshabkeming, my own fault for not being called Bob but when the ToT bar comes up at the bottom/centre of the HUD the name of my character starts to overlay the information. Is there a way to either shift the targets name further to the left to make some space or to abbreviate it similar to the way the spells are abbreviated on the cast bars ?
Yes, you can either reposition text or abbreviate it using ":Abbrev" in DogTag.

Every time I try to save a profile it seems to randomly decide which bits of info it wants to save...for instance, the variables displayed in text boxes will stay the same, but it'll change back to coloring by hostility instead of HP like I set it to. The bars also always move back to their default positions, which is what sucks the most cause it takes so long to position them right when you have to fine tune it by typing in values until you get it right.
Aside from that and a couple issues like randomly mousing over buffs and not getting a tooltip, this is far and away the best HUD out there. Maybe I'm missing something? I just type in a profile name and click the OK button that pops up when I try to save a profile, and it always resets random stuff

@Keyzer: will do that. For now you can click on number under range selector and manually enter position you want.

Is it possible to get the bars to fade out when out of combat with my warrior? I've set the Out of combat alpha to 0, but it is still showing, I'm assuming the regen alpha due to me not having any rage when I'm Out of combat, and I'd really prefer not to have to set the regen alpha to 0 also.
1) Actually, Texts supports click casting, so it will not be hard to copy functionality to bars. Will be in a next release. And I will check that mouse interaction is properly disabled when unused.
2) I will look into implementing mirror bars, thank you for suggestion.
Nice addon.
A couple of features I'd love to see in this addon though.
1st, would it be possible to add an option to click-through the texts (still blocks clicking anything beind it even when "show menu" is disabled) which can kinda hamper targeting in situations when I can't tab-target
2nd. Love the casting bar option that I can attach to one of the bars. Would it be possible to add a similar option for Mirror Bars, such as Breath, Exhausion, Feign Death? An example would be to have checkboxes for Mirror 1, 2, etc
No change in the errors. Downloaded the new version and deleted my saved variables. Still gives an error anytime you try to change an icon scale, and an error when you try to delete the threat bar.
Requests: Debuff filtering, and it would make it easier to position things if you could type in the coordinates. The sliders are a pain to get just right.
