Overshields Reforged

Overshields Reforged allows you to configure how shields & overshields appear on compact unit frames.

There are a couple of options: Color (including alpha/transparency), texture, and blend mode. There are also behavioral options that affect which compact unit frames are modified/affected by Overshields Reforged, as well as a "Dynamic Anchoring" option with one sub-option for more flexibility.

Works with Blizzard's compact raid/party/pet frames.

FAQ

Why is Overshields Reforged not working?

Overshields Reforged requires the "Display Incoming Heals" option to be enabled in order to function. This option allows the game to provide the necessary events for the addon to update the shield overlays. To enable the "Display Incoming Heals" option, press Esc and go to Options > Interface > Raid Frames. Check the box for Display Incoming Heals. Alternatively, you can enable it via the following console command:

/console predictedHealth 1

Does Overshields Reforged work with custom unit frame addons?

Overshields Reforged is designed to work with the built-in Blizzard unit frames. Custom unit frame addons - such as HealBot, VuhDo, Cell - may not be affected by this addon. Functionality should not be expected, and support for custom unit frame addons will not be provided or fixed, as it goes beyond the scope of this addon, and many unit frame addons provide their own methods of modifying the display of shields and overshields.
