Description
TartanUIHider: Clean up your screen. Immersion is back on the menu.
Is your screen more "World of Interface" than "World of Warcraft"? Do you find yourself staring at your empty bag bar while a raid boss is trying to turn you into a floor decoration?
TartanUIHider is here to clean up your act.
This addon lets you hide any UI frame (Unit Frames, Action Bars, Minimap, you name it) and only show them exactly when you need them. It’s like playing peek-a-boo with your interface, but tactical.
🙈 What Does It Do?
It takes any frame on your screen and makes it invisible until specific conditions are met. You can hide your Player Frame until you enter combat, hide your Action Bars until you have a target, or hide your Chat Window until... well, never, because someone is always wrong on the internet.
✨ The Features
- Combat Mode: Show frames only when you're fighting for your life.
- Target/Group Watch: Show frames only when you actually have something to look at (Target exists, Group exists).
- Instance Mode: Show frames when you're in an instance shouting about how people need to fly there because you don't have a warlock
- Riding: Show frames only when you're mounted
- Smooth Operator (Mouseover Fader): The pièce de résistance. Frames stay invisible until you mouse over them, then they fade in smoothly. Perfect for action bars or menus you only click once an hour.
- Modifier Keys: Hold ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT to instantly reveal hidden frames.
- Macro Power: For the nerds (we love you), you can use full WoW macro conditionals like
[combat][@target,exists]show;hide. If you can write it, you can hide it. - Ghost Buster: Smart logic prevents "Black Boxes" from appearing when you try to show a Unit Frame that doesn't exist (like a Focus frame with no Focus set).
- Paging: Allow paging of any frame i.e. switch between one frame and another based on modifiers
- Profiles: Create per spec or per character profiles including import/export functionality to share
- Hotkeys: Switch profiles using hotkeys
- Global Excludes: Got a frame that keeps hiding when it shouldn't? Toss it in the Global Exclude list and TartanUIHider will pretend it doesn't exist.
- Tutorial: User friendly tutorial to make it easier to set up for newer players
