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
Slash commands: /shadoweduf (/suf)
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.

sometimes in raids, you need to know what terget your pet attacking so you can sen him to another target if he attack wrong target, without "pet target" frame, that take time to find out (you need to target your pet) check it, then target your own target during fights
Skylinee: Units -> Raid -> Raid -> Groups -> Group By -> Group number
cawfee: See the Tag Wizard for the unit you want to set overall health too, you'd use [curhp] for health percentage, so it might look like "[curhp] [absolutehp]" if you want to show the current % and then the absolute current/max health values.
How do you set up the raid frames so they show according to the raid group setup? Lets say i'm in group 3, in the unitframes i show in G1 with people from lots of different groups. I'd like the frame layout to look just like they do in the social panel raid-layout.
Instead of this for example:
Player A (Group 1)
Player B (Group 2)
Player C (Group 4)
I want this:
Player A (Group 1)
Player B (Group 1)
Player C (Group 1)
I'm loving these so far, an they're the first viable replacement I've found for Perl Classic. The Health bars are amazingly clean and simple, making information easily accessible.
The only option I couldn't find was displaying the overall health percentage along with the numeric value in the bar; maybe I just missed it in the settings somewhere.
xjtufans: Target of target and Focus target castbars aren't supported, you don't get events for casts beyond polling which isn't really as accurate (especially for spells with <1.5s cast times)
Whisperie: As syrupk said, this is a Blizzard problem and every unit frame has the issue.
first of all, I must thank you for bringing an nice add on to life. I'm enjoying it's simplicity. I do how ever have a ( perhabs noobisch ) question : I can't put anything into focus, I'm allways getting and error saying this is something only Blizzard UI can do, and I can choose to ignore it or disable the addon.
What can I do about this ?
Grtz
In short, nothing. Use a focus macro or a crowd control macro like control freak to handle your focus. No addons can allow right click focusing on their frames, only the blizzard standard frames allow this action.

thus far after testing today when servers came back up, I have to say that this has so much potential. I noticed the party frames bug immediately and you had it fixed within the day.
I'll be doing heavy configuration testing on this and hoping for the best. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Shadowed. Aggro fixed, moving the party sticking to cursor also fixed. Appreciate the work.
