/rh hoc true    - Enable combat dimming (default: false)  
/rh reset       - Reset to default positions

2. Permanent Default Settings

Edit these values in RuneHUD.lua:

local config = {
    positions = {  -- X/Y coordinates for each rune
        {x = -103, y = 23},   -- Blood 1 (top-left)
        {x = -72, y = 61},    -- Blood 2
        {x = 72, y = 61},     -- Unholy 1 
        {x = 103, y = 23},    -- Unholy 2
        {x = -25, y = 80},    -- Frost 1
        {x = 25, y = 80}      -- Frost 2
    },
    scale = 1.2,              -- Base size multiplier
    alpha = {
        combat = 1.0,         -- In-combat visibility
        ooc = 0.2,            -- Out-of-combat visibility
        vehicle = 0.0         -- In-vehicle visibility
    },
    hoc = false,              -- Highlight active runes in combat
    showTimers = true         -- Show cooldown numbers
}

How to Permanently Customize

1. Navigate to:
   World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/RuneHUD/RuneHUD.lua

2. Edit the config table values

3. Save the file

4. Reload UI (/reload)

⚠️ Backup the file before editing - Invalid syntax will break the addon!

Why Manual Configuration?

MOP Classic's API limitations prevent reliable settings saving. This approach guarantees:

• No saved variables corruption

• Consistent performance

• Full control over defaults
