ZaeUI_Shared

Shared utility library used by all ZaeUI addons. This addon has no user-facing features — it provides common code that other ZaeUI addons depend on.

Why does this exist?

ZaeUI is a collection of lightweight, independent addons (Nameplates, ActionBars, Interrupts, Defensives, FriendlyPlates). Several of them need the same UI widgets and helper functions. Instead of duplicating that code in every addon, ZaeUI_Shared centralizes it in one place.

What does it provide?

• Settings category — the shared "ZaeUI" parent entry in the AddOns settings panel
• UI widgets — standardized checkbox and slider controls used by all options panels
• Backdrop styling — consistent tooltip-style frame backgrounds across all trackers
• Group detection — a single isInAnyGroup() helper covering all group types (party, raid, LFG)

Installation

Install this addon alongside any other ZaeUI addon. All ZaeUI addons list it as a required dependency — they will not load without it.

Requirements

• World of Warcraft Retail / Midnight (Interface 12.0.0+)
• At least one other ZaeUI addon

FAQ

Do I need to configure anything? No. This addon has no settings, no slash commands, and no visible UI. It loads silently and provides utilities to other ZaeUI addons.

Can I use it without other ZaeUI addons? It won't do anything on its own. Install it only if you use one or more ZaeUI addons.

What happens if I don't install it? ZaeUI addons will not load. An error message will appear in chat and on screen telling you to install ZaeUI_Shared.
