What Absolute Unit Frames does
100 frame styles
- From Dial, the classic ring, to Twilight: Arrow, Crest, Orbs, Hex, Neon, Hologram, Frost, Royal, Globe, Pixel, Storm and 88 more
- Every style has its own target of target, focus, party and raid look
A style for each frame
- One style for every frame by default, or untick One style for every frame and pick one each for player, target, target of target, focus, party and raid
- A drop-down per frame with all 100 styles, plus the arrows and the mouse wheel
Show what you want
- Show or hide the name, portrait and level on the player frame and on the target frame, each on its own
- For example: nothing but bars on your own frame, everything on your target’s
Target of target, your way
- Attached to the target frame like always, or move, resize and fade it on its own, just like the focus frame
- Unlock and hold Alt to drag it anywhere; tick Attached to the target frame to put it back
Cast bars
- Move and resize your cast bar and set its width
- A new target cast bar in the same style: icon, spell and time left, red when interrupted, grey when it can’t be
Party and raid
- The party is one block and every raid group (1 to 8) moves on its own; test frames let you place them solo
- Hold Shift as you drop a raid group to snap it beside the nearest one, or line all 8 up in one click
Make it yours
- Move, resize, fade and lock every frame; they lock themselves when combat starts
- Player and target move as one mirrored pair, or on their own
Fits, every style
- Names, levels, values and status text stay inside their bars
- Secret-value safe on Retail 12

What’s new in 1.4.0
- A style for each set of frames. At the top of the FRAMES tab, untick One style for every frame and the player, target, target of target, focus, party and raid frames each get a drop-down with all 100 styles. Same as player keeps a set on the player’s style.
- Show or hide the name, portrait and level on the player frame and on the target frame, each on its own (FRAMES tab > SHOW).
- Target of target moves and resizes like the focus frame. It starts attached where it always was. Unlock and hold Alt to drag it anywhere; the corner or Alt + mouse wheel resizes it.
- Move and resize your cast bar, and set its width. It starts attached where your frame style puts it.
- New target cast bar in the same style, just above the target frame or anywhere you like. Turn it off with Show the target’s cast bar.
- Raid groups line up: hold Shift as you drop a group to snap it beside the nearest one, or use ONE ROW, TWO ROWS, ONE COLUMN or TWO COLUMNS on the PARTY & RAID tab.
- Nothing moves on update: your frames keep their places and style. New files, so restart the game after updating, not just /reload.
