PitBull Unit Frames 3.0
Please note that PitBull3 is no longer being actively developed. On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.
I strongly recommend that users migrate to PitBull4. You can not convert your config from PitBull3 and must reconfigure.
PitBull4 itself can be found at:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/pitbull4.aspx
You can find guides for setting it up at:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/guide/
And the FAQ here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/faq/
While PitBull4 is still in beta it is fully functional and has more features than PitBull3. It is actively developed on and bug fixes made regularly.
I do not plan on making any fixes to PitBull3 once Cataclysm releases. So you have plenty of time to make the migration.

First I want to state that I love this addon ... switched from X-Perl ... much cleaner - you know these causes. Nevertheless it is true for me as well : I love these unitframes.
I already configured a lot using dogtag-patterns. But I'd like to use different font sizes inside the same pattern. To be more precise : I want to show the CurHP in a much bigger font size followed by the percentage numbers using a smaller one. Can these be done ?
Currently I use the workaround to have two seperate text fields with this information. They can have different font sizes for sure. But then I can only print one at the inside-right. The other one has to be placed at the top-right-edge which looks not nice to me.
Anyone out there who did this already ?
deonize, there is an option of Pitbull to hide to blizzard target frame. You should look at the options of Pitbull and its arround the 5th option of the list... Try it :)
I'd really like some help, it's a great addon, definetly one of the best but one thing, and one thing only is bugging me, I can't seem to get rid of the old blizz UI target frame: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/6179/dvvxud1.gif
all the settings indicate that it is disabled but that still shows up, please help!
Just switched from Xperl to this and I love it. Much cleaner, much easier to deal with, and it leaves more room on the screen.
I really like this addon, but it's got the same problem that I've seen in all UI modifying addons; it won't show pet happiness, which makes using it as a hunter with a newly pained pet kinda annoying. Any way to get this info to show?
It does too show pet happiness.... most people just don't realize it. The pet's HEALTH bar will be green when happy, yellow when content, or red when unhappy.
Switched from Xperl to Pitbull for a few reasons. I was using Xperl for solo/5man party groups. I was running xperl in combo with perfect raid in karazhan, AB, AV, etc.. anything that had more than a 5 party group. I saw a few UI's with Pitbull and it sounded like it would allow me to consolidate into one package. I see where I can save a loyout for each setting, Solo, Party and Raid. Is there anyway to create multiple layouts for Raid ?
I use one layout for Karazhan, WSG = 10 man I would like to change the layout for AB/AV so I dont have to reconfigure the Unit bars each time I select a different BG. 10Man = 2 groups 20/25/40 = Flat grouped by class Also is there anyway to break the "flat grouped by class" bar into smaller groups ? Instead of one big bar of 20/25/40 say 2bars of 10 or 2 bars of 20
Thanks !
Cant see my mana bar on my character?
Only when i target myself i can see it
Is it possible to add CTRA support? I use PitBull, but cannot receive CTRA ready checks and item checks. Would be really grateful for this support.
There's no screenshot of this UI?
It looks sorta like all the other kind of Unitframes like x-perl and such, graphically..
Hey I like all the features of PitBull but I can't figure out how to get the unit frames (raid and party) to appear behind pop-ups like quest, character info, spellbook ect. Any help here? For clarity the frames stay in front of pop up menus. Very annoying.
Only issue I'm having with it and please tell me if I'm missing something. When I right click my characters frame I don't get the option to leave the group/inspect and those sorts of things. I get a menu to edit the frame when I try.
@ thewhiteboy: Locking your unit frames via the minimap button should correct this.
I'm having trouble with my target frame disappearing if i clear target and re-target something. it comes back when i leave combat but it's rather annoying, anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Cheers!
hi, i clicked to hide the options button on the mini map and cant get it back. could u tell me how 2 get it back plz.

Hello, I mistakingly disabled my pet's portrait and hp/energy in the Pitbull Options in FuBar. How do I get this back as the options for PetBar(or w/e it's called) vanished from the Pitbull's Options in the FuBar.
I am new to using Pitbull, but I can't figure out how to make my Player frame show buffs that other people cast on me (e.g., Fort, Kings, etc.). Buffs that I cast on myself appear just fine. How can I fix this? Thanks!
