About this addon

What it does

Simple Raid Frames is built around Blizzard’s own raid frames. The idea is to keep Blizzard settings as the base, then add a small layer of extra customization where the default UI is missing a few useful options.

I personally use the buff-focused layout, but most features should work across the Blizzard raid frame layouts.

Current functionality:

  • Remove realm names from player names
  • Shorten player names
  • Customize player name font, size, color, outline, and shadow
  • Class-color player names
  • Customize health bar color, background color, class-colored backgrounds, and dead unit background color
  • Customize role icons, including pixel icons, Blizzard icons, size, position, and optional class coloring
  • Add custom status icons for AFK, disconnected, dead, ghost, and DND
  • Customize leader and assist icons, including position and optional class coloring
  • Add optional ready-check icon placement and size controls
  • Replace native buff icons with compact Aura Bars
  • Track selected HoTs/buffs as bars, with custom colors and class-organized spell management
  • Hide raid frame tooltips
  • Hide the player frame in party groups
  • Show the party frame while solo

This addon is intentionally small. It is not meant to become a full raid-frame replacement with every possible option. If you want deep frame customization, another raid frame addon is probably the better choice.
