FadeUI

Hide the UI like Alt-Z, one element at a time. Keep your screen clear while you're out questing or standing around, and have the parts you need fade in the moment combat starts or you pick a target.

Modes

Every element gets one of five modes:

  • Always: shown, like the normal UI
  • In combat: shown only while you're in combat
  • Combat/Target: shown in combat, and whenever you have something targeted
  • Out of combat: shown only while you're not in combat
  • Never: always hidden while FadeUI is on. Keybinds on hidden action bars still work.

Chat has its own modes instead: Always, When active (hides after a set number of idle seconds and comes back with the next message), or While typing.

What it can hide

  • Action bars: Action Bars 1–8, Stance/Form Bar, Pet Bar
  • Unit frames: Player, Pet, Target, Target of Target, Focus, Cast Bar, Swing Timers, Boss Frames
  • Group frames: Party Frames, Raid Frames, Raid Manager Tab
  • Everything else: Minimap, Buffs, Debuffs, Quest Tracker, Chat, Menu Buttons, Bag Buttons, XP/Rep Bars, Cooldown Manager, Damage Meter

Features

  • No combat taint: visibility runs on secure state drivers, so frames appear and disappear in combat without errors.
  • Adjustable fading: set the fade-in time, the fade-out time, and a delay before fading out (for example, right after combat ends). In combat, elements always hide instantly.
  • One-click setup: click a column header in the options window to set every element to that mode.
  • Edit Mode friendly: everything is shown while Edit Mode is open, so you can still move your frames.
  • Instant off switch: turning FadeUI off puts everything back exactly as Blizzard had it.

Usage

  • /fadeui or /fui opens the options window
  • /fui toggle, /fui on or /fui off switches FadeUI on and off (like Alt-Z)
  • /fui reset goes back to the default settings
  • Key Bindings > AddOns > FadeUI has binds for the on/off toggle and for opening the options window
  • Addon compartment button (minimap): left-click toggles FadeUI, right-click opens the options window

WoW Forever beta note

The Forever beta client currently forgets addon settings when the game restarts. FadeUI can keep a backup of your settings in one general macro and load it back at login. You can turn this off in the options once Blizzard fixes saved settings.
