Orb Unit Frames

[Maul]

I have always been very dissatisfied with the rectangular madness that is the predominant Unit Frame addon. Rectangles are practical, I agree, but aesthetically I have always had a fondness of circles in my UI.

I then came across Zork's oUF_D3Orbs. Which are very cool and much of my own addon is based on it as far as concept goes. However, I wanted more orbs! I wanted every unitframe to be an orb.

So I embarked on my own experimentation and found a very efficient way to use standard textures to animate the orbs while also creating all unit frames in orb-form.

This addon is not intended to become a release-level unit frame addon, but to introduce what I have done. Much of it's current code is redundant and not refined. I would love nothing more than for someone else to take off on what I am doing here, like I did with Zork's concept, to make a full-blown orb unit frame addon.

There are some options in the Orbs main menu. More are to come. Also there is a slash command /orbs to enter/leave config mode. To move a unit frame enter config mode and alt-drag the frame.

My plans are to eventually release a solid beta version that can be configured beyond the initial install but not offer a gazillion configuration options.

Anyhow, find the addon here. All comments are welcomed as long as the abide by the site's posting rules
