DandersFrames Changelog

[4.0.8] - 2026-02-24

New: Aura Designer

Visual indicator system for tracking buffs, debuffs, and auras on your frames. Requires the Harrek's Advanced Raid Frames (HARF) companion addon.

• 8 indicator types — 3 placed indicators (Icon, Square, Bar) that occupy anchor points on the frame, plus 5 frame effects (Border, Health Bar Color, Name Text Color, Health Text Color, Frame Alpha) that affect the entire frame
• Drag-to-place — drag auras from the spell list onto any of 9 anchor points (corners, edges, center) with X/Y offset adjustment
• Icon indicators — spell icon with cooldown swipe, duration text, and stack count display
• Square indicators — colored square with cooldown swipe, duration text, and stack count
• Bar indicators — progress bar showing remaining duration with horizontal/vertical orientation, match-frame-width option, fill color, background color, and bar-color-by-time gradient
• Border frame effect — 5 styles: Solid, Animated, Dashed, Glow, and Corners Only with configurable thickness and color
• Health Bar Color frame effect — Replace or Tint mode with adjustable blend strength
• Name/Health Text Color frame effects — override unit name or health text color when an aura is active
• Frame Alpha frame effect — adjust entire frame transparency based on aura presence
• Expiring system — all 8 indicator types support an expiring color that activates below a configurable remaining-duration threshold, fully combat-safe
• Priority stacking — configurable priority per aura (1-20); frame effects only show the highest-priority active aura, placed indicators coexist on separate anchors
• Global defaults — configure default icon size, scale, duration/stack font, font scale, and outline style; new indicators inherit these automatically with per-indicator overrides available
• Live preview — indicators render on the frame preview in the options panel with mock aura data
• Per-spec aura lists — curated aura lists for 8 healer and augmentation specs
• Not-installed overlay — setup instructions with CurseForge and Discord links when HARF is missing

New: Auto Layouts (Raid Only)

Automatically switches your raid frame layout based on content type and raid size. Does not apply to party, solo, or arena.

• Three content categories — Instanced/PvP (raids, dungeons, battlegrounds), Mythic (fixed 20-player), and Open World (world bosses, outdoor groups)
• Per-size-range profiles — create multiple layouts per content type, each covering a custom player range (e.g., 1-10, 11-20, 21-40). Mythic is a single fixed layout for 20 players
• Automatic switching — monitors group roster, zone changes, and instance type; applies the matching layout on-the-fly when content or raid size changes
• Override-only storage — each layout stores only the settings that differ from your global profile; everything else is inherited automatically
• Full settings coverage — overrides can include frame size, growth direction, groups per row, group visibility, bar colors, text settings, aura filters, icon toggles, pinned frame configuration, and more
• Live editing — click "Edit Settings" to enter editing mode with live frame preview; every change is tracked as an override with visual indicators showing which settings are modified vs global
• Override indicators — green checkmark for global values, orange star with reset button for modified values, per-tab override counts
• Non-destructive — your global profile is never modified; exiting editing mode restores your base settings cleanly
• Crash recovery — if editing is interrupted, the next login detects and restores your base settings
• Status display — shows current content type, instance name, raid size, active layout, and override count
• Export/import support — auto layout configurations included in profile exports

New Features

• Health fade system — fades frames above a configurable health threshold, with dispel cancel override (contributed by X-Steeve)
• Class power pips — Holy Power, Chi, Combo Points, etc. displayed on the player frame as colored pips with configurable size, position, anchor, color, vertical layout, and role filter options (contributed by X-Steeve)
• "Sync with Raid/Party" toggle per settings page (contributed by Enf0)
• Per-class resource bar filter toggles
• Click-cast binding tooltip on unit frame hover — shows active bindings with usability status (contributed by riyuk)
• Health gradient color mode for missing health bar (contributed by Enf0)
• Debug Console — in-game debug log viewer (/df debug to toggle, /df console to view)
