Modular library for WoW addon development - Fonts, Colors, Textures

RGX | Framework

One dependency. Everything your addon suite needs.

Retail Library AddOn

Overview

RGX-Framework is a modern WoW Retail addon framework — an alternative to Ace3. One dependency gives your addon suite events, timers, hooks, slash commands, fonts, colors, textures, dropdowns, UI controls, minimap buttons, options panels, a design system, and more. No embedding. No version conflicts. When the framework updates, every addon on the player's machine benefits automatically.

It stays quiet for players and useful for authors. If another addon requires RGX-Framework, install it and leave it enabled. If you are building addons, use it as a single shared library with a clean API — no LibStub, no embedding tax, no legacy compat shims.
