About MSUF

Midnight Simple Unit Frames, or MSUF, is a complete and customizable replacement for Blizzard's Unit Frames and Group Frames.

MSUF combines Player, Target, Focus, Focus Target, Pet, Target-of-Target, Boss, Party and Raid frames with castbars, auras and class resources in one consistent interface.

It is built for players who want clean combat information, modern rounded visuals, extensive customization and a lightweight runtime.

Four-Way Fill Direction

Every individual Unit Frame can use its own Health and Power Fill Direction:

• Left to right
• Right to left
• Bottom to top
• Top to bottom

Create traditional horizontal layouts, mirrored Target frames, vertical Unit Frames or completely custom combinations.

Fill Direction works with Smooth Fill, custom textures, class colors, custom colors and HP-based gradients. This level of independent horizontal, vertical and mirrored bar control is not currently offered by other Unit Frame addons.
