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.

Hi,
I love this addon on and thank you for all your work. Since 4.3 it has been very buggy, and I was wondering if there was an update in the works and if so what is the eta?
Thanks again for this addon
Hi and thanks for using DHUD4,
According to the patch notes there should not be so many bugs. Can you elaborate on what type of behavior you are getting and possibly open a ticket and attach any error messahes you are getting?
Thanks,
Foam
Hello,
i really love your addon but i would like to know something....
i need to install DHUD for 4.0 , or just this one....
Hello,
Thanks for using DHUD4. You only need to install this one.
Foam
Ok thanks :) but i have another question ! DHUD4 and raven are this doing the same thing ??
because i have to two installed ... and i don't know it is ok ... please help me :)
Hello,
I never heard of Raven, sorry there. DHUD4 works on its own, no other addons needed.
Foam
thanks
Sorry for not including the target drop down menu details. As you found out, it is indeed a small area in the center of the target name where you can click to get the menu. The reason for this is that a bigger area got in the way of targeting or casting spells.
As for the player menu, you can opening it by right clicking in the DHUD4 icon in the minimap.

1.) Where do i get more texture
2.) How do i remove the borders from the target bars
Thanks!
Ok, I have two answers:
1.) Currently there is only the original DHUD and Renaitre textures. AFAIK now one else has published custom textures. I am really not an artist so I can't tell you that I will add some in the future. If you have artist skills and know a bit of Photo Shop (or GIMP) you can create your own textures. Just look at the provided ones and do some tests. Once you have them, be sure that they are structured just as the shipped ones and use the Textures settings in the DHUD options to point to your very own creations. If you have additional questions about size, names, uses and such be sure to send me a PM or write me an email.
2.) ATM borders on/off if a addon wide setting. If you would like to be able to turn them on/off per module (or per bar) please open an enhancement ticket at the project's site at WoWAce (follow the link above)
Regards,
Foam

Pictures coming soon!

If you get this to work, any chance you can show us some screenshots?
The reported errors are small bugs being fixed atm. The addon is fully functional. You can see som screenshots at the DHUD3 site here at curse. The interface hasn't changed. And yes, put some screen shots here is in my TO-DO list, including some shots of the new features.

This appeared after some time not straight after install. Also sometimes I have more errors during configuration that dissapear after reloading UI but discarding changes.
It must have something to do with profiles. If I load built-in Renaitre profile everything seems to work fine. After editing it target frame bugs.
Another update:
What I just found: After loading Renaitre profile I simply saved it with another name (I use Reflux to easily change addon layouts so I need addons' profiles to have same names) and after only that change target bars stopped working.
So far all changes made after loading Renaitre profile work fine, saving profile bugs target.
