DandyExtras 1.0.0-beta.3

October 15, 2026. Changes since 1.0.0-beta.2; Existing saved settings are retained.

UI video view

• Add /dandyuivideo and Tools > Toggle UI video. Keep the live world and open panels visible while temporarily fading the HUD, chat and minimap. Registered addon panels such as DandyMap remain interactive without requiring the addon.
• Hide the tool's controls for a clean recording view; /dandyuivideo controls brings them back. Repeat the main command or press Escape to restore the UI.
• Preserve panel parents, anchors, sizes, shown state and saved preferences. Restore temporary alpha, inheritance and supported HUD input changes on exit, combat, loading or Alt+Z. Screenshot modes close video mode before opening.
• Hide the native minimap during recording so player and objective arrows also disappear. Restore its original shown state on exit, including during combat. Reduce ongoing HUD scanning while recording and spread discovery across frames.
• Keep newly opened registered panels and native dialogs visible. Hover an unrecognized window and use /dandyuivideo keep before recording to retain it for the session. /dandyuivideo clear removes manual additions.

UI screenshots

• Add UI screenshot mode under Tools. Cover the world view with green, blue, black or white while keeping the HUD, open windows, maps and models visible. Use /dandyuiscreenshot or /dandyscreenshot ui to toggle it.
• Use Screenshot to hide only this tool's controls for capture. Hide controls also works with Print Screen; /dandyuiscreenshot controls brings them back.
• Keep character studio, world-only and UI screenshot modes separate. Escape, Alt+Z, combat or loading closes the UI backdrop. UI capture works in Edit Mode and does not change camera, CVar, window, profile or saved-data settings.

Buff Reminders

• Add large, movable reminders for learned class buffs that are missing, expiring or below a known trained rank. Set the warning time and icon size, and choose individual buff families under Combat > Buff Reminders.
• Count nearby living group members missing supported group buffs. Exclude offline players, pets and members whose range or aura data is unavailable.
• Watch learned Find Herbs and Find Minerals tracking. The default accepts either profession; choose a specific profession when preferred. Tracking and spell casting remain under your control.
• Hide normal alerts while dead. Preview and drag with /dandybuffs test or Edit Mode, then use /dandybuffs lock. Reset only its position with /dandybuffs reset. Settings update live and travel with saved/shared profiles.
• Run /dandybuffs test again or Shift-right-click the unlocked display to lock it without resetting position, including while Edit Mode is still open. Plain right-click continues to reset position and leave editing active.
• Warn for Battle Shout in combat or when its native rage/resource check confirms it is affordable out of combat. Apply the same rule to detected non-mana buff costs; mana preparation reminders remain available.
• Match native aura countdowns using expiration time, the aura time modifier and the native duration formatter. Refresh visible seconds between aura scans and update refreshed buffs immediately without increasing group scan frequency.
• Watch Fortitude, Spirit, Inner Fire, Intellect, mage armor, Mark, Battle Shout, Lightning Shield, warlock armor, hunter aspects, paladin blessings and auras when learned. Shadow Protection and Thorns are optional and off by default. Rogue poisons and weapon enchants are outside this first version.

HUD Edit Mode

• Let DandyUI's HUD orb show or hide the Received Loot drag box during Edit Mode. Remember the choice without changing normal loot notifications or their saved position. The standalone /dandelootmove command remains available.
• Add hover hints to loot mover handles and let right-click reset their positions. Preserve ordinary window clicks and existing saved positions.

Window controls

• Add mover hints and right-click position resets to About Build, Mannequin, Tank Threat and the minimized Trade Tracker button. The Trade Tracker window resets position and size. Preserve model controls, records and profiles.
