eUF (Extended Unit Frames) was made to upgrade the default unit frames by important features like focus frame, party target frame and highly modifiable status texts. eUF doesn’t create the whole Unit Frames by scratch that’s why its that much more lightweight than other unit frames. If you are searching for an extremely powerful and highly configurable addon this one isn’t for you.
eUF uses LibDogTag-3.0 to format the status texts as well as make them very adaptable. Currently only the player, target and focus status texts are visible.
With this addon you can also move all unit frames (player, target, focus, party). They are unlocked by default.
You can configure eUF through Esc -> Interface Options -> AddOns or via /euf and /extendeduf.

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Awesome! Just got your PM. I'd love to help you all I can - but so far it'll be mostly testing the addon and making suggestions. I've never coded an actual addon before - I've just done small tweaks here and there. I've ordered that new "World of Warcraft Programming", so I'm hoping to get better soon.
I agree with you, eUF had to be seperate from FocusFrame. Perhaps the different features in eUF could even be modules... With just 3 different main features (cast bars, focus UF, partytarget UF) it may be a bad idea - but if the addon expands you might regret not using modules from the beginning.
Onto my thoughts when testing the addon. Firstly, I wasn't too keen on the party target layout. I think the best way to show it is symmetrically like Player vs. Target. So party1target is identical with party1 - just flipped horizontally. I'll make a screen if you'd like
I'm loving the DogTag support! Party tags obviously miss, but I know you're working on it. Small bug: Try to open the character pane - the default status text will appear below the DogTags. I'm pretty sure it can be entirely turned off in options, so it should be easy to remove.
Options: The scaling seems misplaced. I know I'd never use it, cause it looks wonky next to not-scaled UFs.
Feature request:
- Show tot even if I'm both target and tot. It's been buggering me for a while
- Being able to move each UF in the options (with exact numbers etc.) would be nice, but is certainly not necessary (it's probably outside this addons scope). Using Align gets it almost perfect anyway.

if u get invited are you two people in the group -> is he solo at the moment he invites you?
Yes both times a single person invited me (not grouped until I accepted the invite). Following are the contents of my extendeduf.lua. You'll notice my custom dogtags but I was getting this error before I made that change... I was just trying it out. :P
Edit: Oh and the minimalist texture is from sharedmedia.
Originally posted by erica647 I locked the frames after moving them down slightly. I can't think of anything else though. Is there a utility I can run or file I can copy with exact settings?

Originally posted by STFX yea also noticed something like that will look into it ... an error message would be great though
EDIT: just tried it but unfortunatly i am unable to reproduce it :/

Originally posted by erica647 I just noticed something that may be a Blizzard bug... I get taint errors whenever someone joins a party while I'm in combat. It doesn't really seem to affect anything though and I've had similar issues in Pitbull with the raid frames. I just think my bugsack looks better green than red. :P
