SlashikFlying

Inspired by EllesmereUI’s Skyriding display, SlashikFlying is a lightweight, standalone addon that keeps your flying resources and speed in one HUD—and helps you spot your character on the world map. It works independently and does not require EllesmereUI or any other addon.

The flying display automatically appears when you’re mounted with Skyriding enabled, including while standing on the ground, and hides when you dismount or switch to steady flight.

Features

• Vigor: Track your available vigor and recharge progress.
• Second Wind: Three purple segments show your charges and recharge progress.
• Flight speed: A speed bar and percentage show how fast you’re flying relative to normal running speed.
• Whirling Surge: An ability icon displays its cooldown.
• Switchable themes: Choose between the original Compact appearance and a Blizzard theme with native vigor circles and framed bars.
• Customizable layout: Move the display and adjust its width and overall scale. Each theme remembers its own width, while position and scale are shared.
• World-map highlight: Find your character more easily with a colored ring, dark outline, and brief opening pulse.
• Saved settings: Your position and preferences persist across sessions and are shared across characters.
• Optional combat hiding: Automatically hide the flying display during combat.

The flying HUD updates only while visible. The map highlight stops updating when the map is closed or the feature is disabled.

Visual Themes

Compact — default
Flat bars with blue-gray vigor segments, purple Second Wind charges, and a compact speed display.

Blizzard
Native Blizzard vigor circles, textured bars, and traditional framing, with smaller circles and closely spaced elements.

Switch instantly using /sf theme compact or /sf theme blizzard. No reload is required.

World-Map Player Highlight

A cyan ring with a dark outline makes your player arrow easier to find. Brief expanding pulses draw your attention when you open the map, then a steady ring remains.

The highlight uses Blizzard’s native player-position renderer, keeps the arrow’s direction visible, and lets map clicks pass through. It works mounted or unmounted, independently of the flying HUD.

Choose your preferred ring size and color, turn the opening pulse on or off, or disable the highlight entirely.
