mshFrames

Addon focuses on providing a simplified, lightweight version of the default UI with minimal customization and a "clean-out-of-the-box" approach

mshFrames is a lightweight enhancement for the default Blizzard Raid and Party frames. Designed for players who appreciate the standard UI but want more flexibility and customization without the overhead of heavy "all-in-one" unit frame replacements.

Instead of drawing its own frames, mshFrames adds a customization layer over the built-in Blizzard frames. This approach ensures maximum performance, stability, and compatibility with the game’s core systems.
