KaosUI
What's new
KaosUI 1.5.3
Per-spec profiles, tank detection for nameplates, and loot/roll windows in KaosUI's own look.
✨ New
- Profile per talent tree — assign a profile to each talent tree in "Manage profiles". KaosUI now switches to the matching profile automatically on login, after respeccing, and on every dual-spec switch (even though switching specs alone does not change any talent points).
- Tank role detection for nameplates — the role used for threat-based nameplate coloring is now also detected from your own stance/form (Defensive Stance, Righteous Fury, Bear Form), not just the group role assigned by the raid leader — which is often never set at all in dungeons and raids. Optionally, KaosUI can set your in-game group role to Tank automatically once it detects you are one (never the other way around, so it never overrides a healer's own choice).
- Loot and roll windows in KaosUI's look — both the loot window and the Need/Greed/Pass roll windows now use KaosUI's flat dark style instead of Blizzard's parchment look, and their position can be dragged freely (via the move-frames mode for the roll windows, since they are usually only visible during an active roll).
🐛 Fixed
- Profile switch left some frames in their old position — after switching profiles, the focus frame, its castbar, and raid frames occasionally stayed where the previous profile had put them instead of moving with the rest of the UI.
- Hover-casting broke over aura icons — moving the mouse over a buff icon on the player frame stole the hover target, cancelling any active hover-cast bindings.
- Quick-bind hint text overflowed its tab — a long hint below the quick-bind option ran past the edge of the action bars tab.
💬 Compatibility
- Works on Classic Era / Season of Discovery and TBC Anniversary. No Retail-only APIs are used; version-specific behavior is detected at runtime.
