What is Shadowed Unit Frames?

Shadowed Unit Frames (SUF) is a highly configurable unit frame addon offering clean, modern frames for player, target, party, raid, boss, and arena units with extensive layout and indicator options.

Categorized under Unit Frames, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive unit frame coverage including player, target, focus, boss, and arena frames
  • Tag-based text system with hundreds of data points for custom text strings
  • Bar texture, color, and reaction color customization with SharedMedia support
  • Aura filtering with whitelist and blacklist for precise buff/debuff display

Why Shadowed Unit Frames is Essential

SUF occupies the sweet spot between simplicity and power in the unit frame addon space. Its tag system lets you display exactly the data you want in exactly the format you want, from simple health percentages to complex strings combining name, health, power, and class. The configuration is deep but never overwhelming, making it accessible to both newcomers and experienced UI customizers.

Supported Expansions

Shadowed Unit Frames is available for Dragonflight, BFA, MoP, WoD, Shadowlands, WotLK, Cataclysm, Legion, and Classic. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

Installing Shadowed Unit Frames on a private server

Shadowed Unit Frames is made by Shadowed103. DivineTop hosts copies built for older game clients so they work on private servers.

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Install steps

  1. Download the Shadowed Unit Frames build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
  2. Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
  3. Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/ShadowedUnitFrames/ShadowedUnitFrames.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading, and the 1.12.1 client is especially strict about this.
  4. Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable Shadowed Unit Frames, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
