To add your raid grp to your raid frame, create a custem text for example Group, then select it from the dropdown, Now you can enter the group number like so [group] and change its behaviour as all the other things
Great walk through!!!! Coming back to WOW since Mist and always used Elvui but used Grid for my frames. Now I can use Elvui frames and keep things looking the same. Thank you!!!
Is there a way to disable all of elvui EXCEPT the boss frames. Just trying to find an addon where i can use my regular blizzard ui but have elvui looking boss frames with dots off to the left side
yes, you can just select each frame section seperate in the menu and untick enable. You do that with party, raid frames, etc apart from boss frames. Hope that helps. If not, lemme know
hi guys i need help with my party frame i want to know if anyone in my party pop a def cd show me in his frame but i can config it in my elvui help me help me help me :)
Blizzard has disabled everything regarding your position from other players since patch 7.1 so Range radar, GPS arrow, it's not possible anymore. That's why it's no longer there.
Hey Jake, Sorry for not coming back to you sooner. Elvui doesn't have enemy raid frames as far as I know. You might wanna check out mods.curse.com/addons/wow/enemy-grid if that's what you're looking for. -xxinda-
ghehe, it's no magic I swear. I just positioned it there and made it the exact same hight as the top bar is from the chat window. The raidmarkers are from Shadow&Light plugin though, not from Elvui itself.
Thanks for the nice guide! beautiful Name plate, how do you show your level in your name plate ? I tried typing [level] after my health line but it seems like your health font is white and smaller and your level font is blue and bigger number, different color and size, how did you separate them ?
+mcvc69 Hiya! thanks for the compliments. What you do is you go to elvui config - unit frames - playerFrame. And you type "level" in the bar under "Custom Texts" and hit Enter. After you've done that it will be in the drop down list and you can then configure it to your likings. text format is then [namecolor][level]. Leave text format for Health: [health:current-percent] I have made a custom one for AFK and PVP aswell. Enjoy!! Xxinda
+Christopher Mazaudou hey there. Yes I am using Elvui for all the frames in this video setup. In order to get the player and target frame to look like this you go to: 1 player frame 2 select power (dropdownlist where it says health as default) 3 Style: Inset 4: Offset to 5min. 5:select Portrait (dropdownlist) 6: enable 7: Style 3D. Done. I hope this helps :D
You can change the font size in: UnitFrames - General Options - Font Size. This will however change the size for ALL unit frames. There's no option to adjust the font size in seperate frames sadly.
hey Muffin, You need 2 addons. 1: LibSharedMedia-3.0 : Shared handling of media data (fonts, sounds, textures, ...) between addons. and the actual fonts/textures are in 2: SharedMedia > Inserts media(fonts, bars, borders, etc) into LibSharedMedia's storage. They can then be selected by any addon that supports LibSharedMedia, a lot of them do. I hope this helps!
Muffin hmmm.. It's been years ago I got those addons.. I vagely remember getting additional fonts. Check out SharedMediaAdditional Fonts, download here: www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info22384-SharedMediaAdditionalFonts.html
I had to go check this, good question. But as far as I can tell you can only change the font size in UnitFrames general config. That means same font size for every frame. I tried if I could change fontsize for name but there's no option for that.
Thanks for the quick reply. The only option I found was in the general tab also, which is a bummer because for my party frames I like the font to be large and readable, but for raid frames it's way too big and ends up overlapping. Great video though and still useful 2+ years later.
ImagenNoReligion Yeah, I figured that's what you wanted to do. I am using Vuhdo as raidframes, I like it better for configuration and debuff visibility etc. There you could make a seperate frame for group 1 only (dungeon group) and make font bigger. But that would mean you're stuck with group 1 showing bigger font and the rest of the groups smaller if you would set it up like that when you go in raid. But.. it's an option nonetheless.
Hey Luid, In order to get the player and target frame to look like this you go to: 1 player frame 2 select power (dropdownlist where it says health as default) 3 Style: Inset 4: Offset to 5min. 5:select Portrait (dropdownlist) 6: enable 7: Style 3D. Done. I hope this helps :D
xxinda Hi, but I have a question. I used Tukui and when i got my cursor up the time (calendar) I could see the raids saved In Elvui I have no idea only command + o Please help if you know Best Regards
hmm.. It shows for me when I hover over the time in my minimap. Did you enable to show time somewhere? if not : Elvui config - DataTexts - Panels (in row above in window) - Enable"Minimap Bottom Left(inside) - then select Small Panels : drop down list under Minimap Button left(inside) ; select time. If that doesn't work, let me know.
Only one more thing about the UI can you help me to take the black board on the down right corner and maintain the gold amount ? Best regards ! Subscribed :-)
Erm. You can't take the panel away bc then you can't put datatext in them anymore. You could make the datapanel 0 opacity so it becomes "invisible"? Is that an idea?
Thank you so much for this, even all this time later, its still hands down the most helpful set up guide for frames I've been able to find

awsome! Glad the guide helped you out.
Big Thank you! Even years later the best guide on raid frames !
A lifesaver. As a new user of elvui, this helped me a ton.
Just wanted to say this was really detailed and well put video. Helped heaps and exactly what I wanted to know. Keep up the great content!
yeah im a noob and i was having troubles to identify the group, often asking which group i was in, and people thought i was trolling. thank you.
ghe, I know how you feel.. I have spend ages on the net figuring out why the groups were changing all the time.
Thanks a ton, this showed me exactly what I was looking for.
awsome!
Very helpful. Thank you very much. I like the German accent too. I grew up with my grandparents from Germany and Lithuania.
Did someone ask you if you grew up with your grandparents from Germany and Lithuania?
TheBeavergay I was just being friendly unlike you...
thanks, but the accent is Dutch ;)
Thank you so much Xxinda for the annotation links in the video!!!!
+Fiery Trinity you're most welcome :D

thank you. very helpful :)

Do you happen to know why GPS arrow item is not available at party frames? It is 7.1, BTW
Blizzard has disabled everything regarding your position from other players since patch 7.1 so Range radar, GPS arrow, it's not possible anymore. That's why it's no longer there.
Hey thanks for the video. I was wondering is there a setting for seeing enemy raid frames on the side?
Hey Jake, Sorry for not coming back to you sooner. Elvui doesn't have enemy raid frames as far as I know. You might wanna check out mods.curse.com/addons/wow/enemy-grid if that's what you're looking for. -xxinda-
so i know this video is old now, but how the heck did you get your world and raid markers embedded in you right chat box like that....driving me crazy
ghehe, it's no magic I swear. I just positioned it there and made it the exact same hight as the top bar is from the chat window. The raidmarkers are from Shadow&Light plugin though, not from Elvui itself.

+xxinda Thanks but how is your level 90 font seems bigger than your health font ?
mcvc69 When you add a custom text you can configure the font and size and place for that when you click on it in the dropdown list.
+xxinda oh cool i got it, thank you very much!
Nice :D cheers.
Are you using elvui player frame ? Your frame is so beautiful but i don't know how to do the same with elvui :(
+Christopher Mazaudou hey there. Yes I am using Elvui for all the frames in this video setup.

+xxinda Thank you so mutch !

how do i make the size of the font in the raid frames smaller? there is no option i can see and it just covers up the whole healthbar for me
You can change the font size in: UnitFrames - General Options - Font Size. This will however change the size for ALL unit frames. There's no option to adjust the font size in seperate frames sadly.
thats a big flaw with the ui, i dont want tiny font on my character frame
I know. this is one of the reasons I switched back to Vuhdo for raid/partyframes
Im trying to find the fonts and textures that you are using, but no luck and LibSHare doesnt seem to work for me.
hey Muffin, You need 2 addons. 1: LibSharedMedia-3.0 : Shared handling of media data (fonts, sounds, textures, ...) between addons.
and the actual fonts/textures are in 2: SharedMedia > Inserts media(fonts, bars, borders, etc) into LibSharedMedia's storage. They can then be selected by any addon that supports LibSharedMedia, a lot of them do.
I hope this helps!
Ok thankyou :)
Im trying to find the Emblem font that you are using in this video...but no luck so far.
Muffin hmmm.. It's been years ago I got those addons.. I vagely remember getting additional fonts. Check out SharedMediaAdditional Fonts, download here: www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info22384-SharedMediaAdditionalFonts.html
Are you able to set the font size separately for raid frames and party frames?
I had to go check this, good question. But as far as I can tell you can only change the font size in UnitFrames general config. That means same font size for every frame. I tried if I could change fontsize for name but there's no option for that.

Hey Luid, In order to get the player and target frame to look like this you go to: 1 player frame 2 select power (dropdownlist where it says health as default) 3 Style: Inset 4: Offset to 5min. 5:select Portrait (dropdownlist) 6: enable 7: Style 3D. Done. I hope this helps :D
