Sleek Unit Frames TBC

Sleek Unit Frames TBC

Sleek Unit Frames TBC is a modern, Retail-inspired unit frame replacement built specifically for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Anniversary.

The goal is not to turn TBC into Retail. SleekUF takes some of the cleaner visual language and useful at-a-glance information from modern WoW and rebuilds it in a style that still feels at home in The Burning Crusade.

It replaces the default Player, Target, Target of Target, Focus, Pet and Party frames, with extensive customization while keeping the interface readable, compact and familiar.

Highlights

• Player, Target, Target of Target, Focus, Pet and Party unit frames, including compact clickable party-member target frames.
• Classic or animated 3D portraits with the Sleek asymmetric portrait shape and selectable Sleek Dark, Retail Gold and Cool Silver ring styles.
• Blizzard Edit Mode integration for moving and scaling SleekUF frames alongside the rest of your UI.
• Independent frame sizing and positioning, including adjustable Name, Health and Power bar heights, wrapper offsets, scaling and opacity.
• Custom role indicators for Tank, Healer and Damage roles, designed specifically to match SleekUF instead of using the default Blizzard role artwork.
• Ready Check visualization directly on party portraits, with clear Pending, Ready and Not Ready states.
• Incoming heal prediction for Player, Party and eligible friendly Target frames, using Blizzard's native TBC prediction with optional LibHealComm-4.0 enhancement when available.
• Range awareness that subtly dims out-of-range content without making the entire unit frame transparent.
• Threat / Aggro awareness with restrained visual feedback for Player and Party frames against the current hostile Target.
• TBC Energy / Mana tick indicators built directly into the Player Power bar, with subtle resource-colored presentation.
• Druid Mana support while shapeshifted, shown as a compact Mana strip inside the existing Power bar without increasing the frame size.
• Advanced target information, including reaction/friendly/hostile styling, level-difficulty colors, tapped-target visualization, raid markers, PvP state and Rogue/Feral combo points.
• Advanced target information, including reaction/friendly/hostile styling, level-difficulty colors, tapped-target visualization, raid markers, PvP state and Rogue/Feral combo points.
• Optional Questie integration, displaying Questie quest-objective markers directly on eligible NPC and Vehicle Target frames using Questie’s own icons and themes.
• Custom PvP faction crests for Alliance and Horde, with optional Blizzard-style alternatives and PvP countdown support.
• Custom PvP faction crests for Alliance and Horde, with optional Blizzard-style alternatives and PvP countdown support.
• Buffs, debuffs, HoTs and DoTs with configurable icon sizes, limits, timers, cooldown sweeps and party-aura positioning.
• Prioritized personal HoTs and DoTs can use a larger dedicated aura row with timer text and radial clock wipes.
• Target cast bar, Target of Target information and party-member target frames.
• Combat and resting feedback, including portrait glows, combat indicators and a Retail-inspired animated Z Z Z resting effect.
• AFK / DND visualization with status badges and desaturated Health and Power bars for fast at-a-glance recognition.
• Party enhancements, including PvP indicators, raid-group/leader information, role icons, Ready Check states, buffs/debuffs and optional party target frames.
• Healer Mode for Player and Party Health text, showing missing health instead of current health.
• Preview Mode for testing frames, buffs, debuffs, HoTs, DoTs, combo points, group roles, Ready Check states, range awareness and other units or states that may not currently exist.

Profiles that actually stay in sync

SleekUF uses live profiles with automatic saving.

Every character automatically receives its own profile the first time it logs in, but you can also create reusable custom named profiles and use them across multiple characters.

There is no separate Save step required. Changes to settings, sliders, frame positions, scaling, sizes, appearance and layout are written directly to the active profile.

This means you can keep separate layouts such as:

• Main character
• Healer layout
• Minimal UI
• Shared profile used by several characters

Switching profiles changes the complete SleekUF setup, not just frame positions.

Designed to be customizable

Most visual and functional elements can be adjusted directly from the built-in settings panel.

Available customization includes:

• Frame position, size and scale
• Name, Health and Power bar heights
• Health and Power opacity
• Portrait style and portrait animation
• Portrait ring style and corner ornament
• Wrapper opacity, shape and vertical positioning
• Health, Power and Healer Mode text
• Buff, debuff, HoT and DoT presentation
• Aura timers and cooldown wipes
• PvP indicators
• Combat and resting effects
• Range and Threat awareness
• Energy / Mana tick indicators
• Druid Mana display
• Ready Check and role indicators
• Party target frames

Moving and previewing frames

Sleek Unit Frames can be arranged using its own Unlock + move mode or together with WoW's built-in Edit Mode.

Unlocking the frames automatically enables missing-unit previews, making it easy to position Target, Target of Target, Focus, Pet and Party frames even when those units are not currently available.

You can also toggle Preview Mode manually whenever you want to test appearance and layout changes.

Addon Compatibility

SleekUF includes support for several popular addon ecosystems:

• Questie — When installed, SleekUF can display Questie’s current quest-objective icon directly on eligible Target frames using Questie’s official public API.
• Clique — Sleek unit frames register as click-casting frames for mouseover healing and other click bindings.
• LibSharedMedia-3.0 — Choose shared status bar textures and fonts from installed SharedMedia packs.
• WeakAuras — SleekUF exposes stable unit-frame references that can be used for custom WeakAura anchoring.
• LibHealComm-4.0 — If a compatible copy is available, SleekUF can enhance incoming-heal prediction with additional communicated healing information.
• LibRangeCheck-3.0 — Can be used when available to improve friendly Target/Focus range estimation.

These integrations are optional. SleekUF does not require Questie, Clique, WeakAuras, LibHealComm or LibRangeCheck in order to function.

Built for TBC Anniversary

Sleek Unit Frames is developed specifically for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Anniversary, rather than being a Retail addon retrofitted onto the Classic client.

The addon is actively refined through real gameplay and player feedback, with a focus on making useful information easy to read without turning your unit frames into a wall of UI.

Feedback, screenshots, bug reports and suggestions are very welcome. ❤️
