eUF (Extended Unit Frames) was made to upgrade the default Blizzard Unit Frames by important features like
- focus frame
- party target frames
- party cast bars
- class icons
- highly modifyable status texts
- zoomed-in buff/debuff icons
- and more
eUF uses the default Unit Frames and doesn’t create them by scratch that’s why its that much more lightweight than other Unit Frame addons.
It also uses LibDogTag-3.0 to format the status texts which makes them very adaptable.
All unit frames (player, target, focus, party, castbar) are movable too. Hint: They are already unlocked by default. If u want to reset the frame positions to default delete file WoW\WTF\Account\*accountname*\*servername*\*charname*\layout-cache.txt
Configuration can be found under Esc -> Interface Options -> AddOns or via /euf and /extendeduf.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Fizzi saidMany thanks for this. I don't like the mods which change the UI completely, I've always liked the Blizzard UI and just needed a few more things out of it. This mod has answered this need =). The only other thing I would like to see is a class icon for the target. Thanks again.

stfx saidsure, just change the text format in option (/euf menu) to [HP] / [MaxHP] and [MP] / [MaxMP]. for percentage use [PercentHP] and [PercentMP].

mev85 saidI noticed it just before i had to get to work. Have other addons. I was using minimal textures. I will test to unload all other addons and look for error msgs. Home in 3hours :)
edit: tested disabling all other addons. then i saw that the textures i was using wasent even available anymore so i guess it come from some other addon and no wonder it cant load when i login. If you still want to lookinto it more the addon it gets the textures from is ClassTimer.
