DHUD4
DHUD4 is a recode, new features addition and optimization of Drathal's original DHUD.
DHUD4 is Heads Up Display Addon that provides 4 sets of bar to display player, target, pet, focus, target of target and/or vehicle health and power, and target range, druid mana when shapeshifted and threat information. Additionally player buffs, target buffs/debuffs and special class abilities are tracked. Two simple cast bars allow player and target casting tracking too. Bar text info and nameplates can be configured using DogTags.
Slash command: /dhud4
Renaitre's Profile: DHUD4 ships with a Renaitre preloaded profile to adjust the addon to the Renaitre UI layout.

1. Your settings won't be saved. Actually, the great deal of changes in the configuration options were one of the reasons for making the version jump.
2. DHUD4 is not a whole new addon. Is more a DHUD3 revised, all in hope that new functionality could be added easily in the future. Regarding looks, DHUD4 now ships with Renaitre's textures as well as making it easier for people to use their own custom ones.
3. DHUD4 is still in beta stage. That means that not all of the features are working yet and that some bugs may still lurk. However DHUD3 would not be getting any new additions, meaning that things like Druid eclipse and the new shard and pally power features will only make it to DHUD4. If you can leave with the reduced functionality, specifically no outer bars and some class abilities missing, please do switch to DHUD4. I am working as fast as possible to implement the missing functionality and make a stable release.

First, thanks to all who have downloaded this new version. I hope it performs better than the last and tackles some of the recurring bugs.
Second... I am on finals at the University so the past 2 weeks I have not given DHUD a lot of attention. This means that probably I will not have a "release" version for cata. :(. The good news is that semester will be over on thursday so I plan on investing a lot of time on it after that!!!
Happy Questing!

1 - auras only seem to curve around the right hand side similar to this (( ))) , i.e., If you click left you get something similar to this (() ))
2 - there is a grid of what appear to be aura buttons/icons under each side that doesn't disappear - what are they there for? They only disappeared after I'd clicked on an npc for the first time since using layout mode.
3 - layout mode is an excellent idea thanks for implementing
4 - there's what appears to be a npc pvp icon remaining dead center between the bottom corners of the hud even with all other icons/labels switched off - can this either be hidden or moved?

2. Those are the target buff/debuffs. In layout mode they will only appear if you click a target (something related to the name plaets now being secure). When you enter configure they flash when they are refreshed then they are under control of the name plate. You can click a target and in the target option change the number of columns and other stuff. Also, this buttons now use blizz's aura template so you get the aura type color border, bigger icons for own, and the "clock" countdown effect.
3. It was a bit kind of hard work, thanks for the "thumbs up".
4. Will look into this.
Foam
P.S. Will you mind placing a ticket for the 2 and 4?

Once I uninstall it and redownload it, it works again.
