About this addon
What it does
Overshields Reforged allows you to configure how shields & overshields appear on compact unit frames.
There are a couple of options: Color (including alpha/transparency), texture, and blend mode. There are also behavioral options that affect which compact unit frames are modified/affected by Overshields Reforged, as well as a "Dynamic Anchoring" option with one sub-option for more flexibility.
Works with Blizzard's compact raid/party/pet frames.
How to Use
Run /overshieldsreforged options or /osr o in your chat or press Esc and go to Options > AddOns > Overshields Reforged.
Run /overshieldsreforged reset or /osr r in your chat to reset all Overshields Reforged options. This is recommended for users updating to the Midnight version.
Installation
Addon Manager

Dependencies
It is recommended to install LibSharedMedia (LSM) & SharedMedia to have access to extra texture options. Overshields Reforged does not add any statusbar or spark textures, but it will make use of any textures made available through LSM, in addition to those already available through the client.
FAQ
Why is Overshields Reforged not working?
Overshields Reforged requires the "Display Incoming Heals" option to be enabled in order to function. This option allows the game to provide the necessary events for the addon to update the shield overlays. To enable the "Display Incoming Heals" option, press Esc and go to Options > Interface > Raid Frames. Check the box for Display Incoming Heals. Alternatively, you can enable it via the following console command:
/console predictedHealth 1Does Overshields Reforged work with custom unit frame addons?
Overshields Reforged is designed to work with the built-in Blizzard unit frames. Custom unit frame addons - such as HealBot, VuhDo, Cell - may not be affected by this addon. Functionality should not be expected, and support for custom unit frame addons will not be provided or fixed, as it goes beyond the scope of this addon, and many unit frame addons provide their own methods of modifying the display of shields and overshields.
