Always Face – Automatically Face Your Target
- By
Switch WoW unit portraits between Class icon / 2D / 3D — with a tiny options panel and an optional ‘hide Blizzard ring’ toggle. Lightweight & reliable.
AlwaysFace — simple, reliable portrait switcher
AlwaysFace lets you choose how unit portraits are displayed: Class icon, 2D portrait, or 3D model.
It’s tiny, safe, and works with the default Player / Target / Focus frames. Optional toggle to hide Blizzard’s circular ring around the portrait.
Features
✅ 3 modes: Class icon, 2D, 3D
✅ Works on Player / Target / Focus (default frames)
✅ Minimal Options panel (no bloat)
✅ Optional: Hide Blizzard ring (circle/mask) around the portrait
✅ Lightweight: no libraries, zero configuration required
How to use
Open Game Menu → Options → AddOns → AlwaysFace
Enable addon
Choose Mode: Class / 2D / 3D
Toggle Hide Blizzard ring on/off
Or via chat:
/af class / /af 2d / /af 3d
/af on / /af off
/af next (cycle)
/af ring off (hide ring) — /af ring on (show ring)
Compatibility
Designed for Retail default unit frames.
Most UI packs should work; if your unit frames are fully custom (replace Blizzard frames), behavior depends on how they expose portrait textures.
Troubleshooting
Ring still visible? Some UI updates re-apply masks. The addon hooks the usual updates to remove them again. If a specific frame remains unaffected, please open an issue with a screenshot and your UI list.
Performance & Security
Pure Lua, very small footprint.
No taint: portrait updates are deferred if needed during combat.
