Bleakfiber's Unit Toggles - Forever
Bleakfiber's Unit Toggles is a dedicated, zero-dependency CVar management suite crafted specifically for World of Warcraft: Forever (Interface 16001).
Tired of memorizing /console UnitName... commands or digging through nested default interface menus just to declutter combat nameplates? Bleakfiber's Unit Toggles puts all 20 native unit overhead name, pet, guardian, totem, minion, and title CVars into an intuitive Dark Slate & Gold control center with instant visual feedback, one-click combat presets, and full profile synchronization.
Runs 100% standalone out of the box with zero required external libraries, and automatically integrates into Bleakfiber's Addon Config when installed.
Key Highlights
- Zero External Dependencies: Pure, lightweight native WoW Lua. No Ace3, LibSharedMedia, or external frameworks required.
- Complete Overhead Text Authority (20 CVars): Fine-grained individual toggles for friendly players, enemy players, pets, minions, guardians, totems, questgivers, critters, guild names, titles, and trivial mob suppression.
- Official Blizzard Defaults: Preset defaults strictly aligned with native World of Warcraft engine configurations.
- Instant Visual Synchronization: All checkboxes immediately check or uncheck the moment you click a preset, change a profile, or toggle an option.
- Real-Time Toggle Status Readout: Live feedback indicator displays exactly how many toggles are active at any moment (e.g.,
Active: 16 / 20 toggles enabled). - One-Click Tactical Presets:
[Enable All]: Instantly turns on all 20 unit overhead names and titles (20/20).[Disable All]: Clears screen clutter by disabling all unit overhead names (0/20).[PvP Preset]: Optimizes visibility for Battlegrounds and Arenas by enabling enemy players, pets, minions, guardians, totems, and friendly players while stripping away ambient titles and minor units.[Blizzard Def]: Restores standard factory Blizzard UI default values in one click (16/20).[Sync Live]: Reads whatever values are currently active in your game engine and stores them directly to your active profile.
- Bidirectional Live Sync (
CVAR_UPDATE): If you change a CVar via chat or Blizzard's options, the addon automatically detects the engine event and syncs your profile and open UI in real time. - Dual-Mode Architecture:
- Standalone Mode: Opens a sleek, draggable Dark Slate & Gold (
#141A21/#D1AE47) options window complete with title bar, close button, and standardESC-key closing. - Master Hub Mode: Seamlessly hooks into
BleakfibersAddonConfig-Forever, embedding its balanced two-column canvas into the unified sidebar and syncing with master global profiles.
