Unit Frame Addons in Midnight – Massive Changes, Project Reworked for Midnight

Unit Frames are a fundamental piece of every UI, with many players not liking the default appearance that Blizzard has for their player and target frames. This popularity has led to many projects to come and go over the years, and, with Midnight breaking most of the addons that deal with combat, there are only a few that remain working with Pre-Patch.

Unit Frames have been hit hard by the Midnight changes to addons. As combat influences the status of Unit Frames, many features available today to addon developers have been either removed or have received changes to their behavior.

Combat Restrictions Wrecking Unit Frames
These massive changes have led to every addon author having to adapt, leaving those without active support not working starting with the Midnight Pre-Patch.

However, not all is doom and gloom. While in early iterations of the addon restrictions, Unit Frame addons were near impossible, as the restrictions have been lifted, many authors have been able to update their projects to support the Midnight changes. Below, we've highlighted three of the most popular Unit Frame addons for Midnight.

If you're looking for ways to customize Unit Frames that Blizzard doesn't natively support, there are some popular addons that have been used extensively during the Beta.

Unhalted Unit Frames
One of the most recent additions to the addon spaces, Unhalted Unit Frames offers a lightweight, customizable option to the Blizzard default UI. According to the addon developer, Unhalted Unit Frames only replaces the default Player, Target, Focus, Focus Target, Pet, Target of Target, and Boss Unit Frames, while leaving the rest of the UI untouched.

BetterBlizzFrames
BetterBlizzFrames is a project that began in late Dragonflight with the idea of expanding upon the building blocks that Blizzard created with their UI revamp. The addon focuses on improving the UI instead of replacing it altogether, adding new options, layouts, positions, anchors, and more.
