Dynamic Immersive UI

Dynamic Immersive UI is for players who want to see the world, not the interface. For World of Warcraft: Forever. A companion to Dynamic Display Nameplate.

How it works

• Out of combat, the whole UI hides, the way Alt+Z hides it.
• It comes back when combat starts, while you have a living target, or while a window is open (character sheet, spellbook, quests, vendors, the game menu…).
• Being in a group doesn't bring it back; only combat does. A dead target doesn't either: only the loot window shows.
• The world map, the loot window and your bags show on their own, with the rest of the UI still hidden.
• Chat works with the UI hidden: press Enter and type. It fades away 5 seconds after you're done.
• The minimap, tooltips, the breath bar and the yellow quest progress text always show.
• Your arrow on the world map is hidden.
• Esc brings the UI back until something changes; Esc again opens the game menu.

Options

Every switch is in the options panel: type /dui-options, or Esc > Options > AddOns > Dynamic Immersive UI. All start on.

• Hide the UI out of combat
• A target brings the UI back
• Map, loot window and bags on their own
• Minimap always visible
• Hide your arrow on the world map

Commands

• /dui-help lists the commands.
• /dui-options opens the options panel.
• /dui-hide, /dui-target, /dui-solo, /dui-minimap, /dui-arrow each take on or off; with no argument they toggle.
• /dui-status shows what the addon sees. Include it in bug reports.

Settings are saved per account.

To Denthead, whose comment asking for Azerite UI's Explorer Mode and a hidden map arrow started this addon.
