oh edit, since I've only awnsered a few things xD

The runmod is textyRunes with ofcourse the same font as my unit frames and indeed just placed on top of my UF so it looks as if it's just another text string.

It's all years of fiddling to make it work.
You did not answer me though. Put my unitframes on hold. I need to know what kind of font and size you are using.

And also, what is this bloom effect everyone is talking about?

The "bloom" are some modified directx dll's that tell your graphics driver to "overclock" the lightning effects and darken the environment. It's basically like the glow effect you can activate in WoW's graphic settings, but on crack.

I can't seem to find a usable download for the HDR files anymore. Anyone got a working download for them?

Hey so what exactly do these HDR files do again? I think I get the gist of it a little, but I'd never actually heard about it till just now.

Apparently they modify some directx files for your graphic card and alters the information sent to wow from from your card.

Basically it just shows you a bloomed version of everything in wow.
