People who make addons that require LUA editing to configure are laughable.

@Brique:
Being a luanoob myself, but obsessed with memory footprint to the point of ‘omg ur sick’, I found an alternative in oUF_Nivaya which features an ingame config menu.

I love oUF! The best part about is that is has no options.

Just pick a good layout, install it and you are done. No messing with settings or getting a headache to set things up.

The reason I hate Pitbull is because it has TOO much options.

Remember, less is more.

@Nashiira:
There is no slash command, or any in-game configuration, built in to oUF itself, nor built into the majority of oUF layouts. A select few, i.e. oUF_Nivaya, have in-game configuration tools, but they are the exception, not the rule. Generally, oUF layouts are re-configured by editing the Lua code of the layout addon itself.

I apologize, this is a strange place to ask but what is the /command to get into the settings of oUF?

I recently dropped PitBull because of a multitude of errors that I got all the time, the most during raids, and am back to the stock unit frames.

I’ll have to check oUF out.

While I can't recommend the Wow Programming book enough, I can agree that if you have decent experience with any modern programming language, Lua is not at all difficult to grasp. If you decide to make the leap, some good editors with syntax highlighting are Notepad++, UltraEdit, and for the OSX crowd, Smultron and my personal favorite, TextMate.

May you, your family and your heirs be blessed for many generations to come. A big thank you for writing this. I have been eyeing oUF for a while but never really found a lot of easy to come by information on it. Basically what I’m looking for is extreme configurability, and better performance than PitBull. I think oUF may provide me just that.
I’m a Lua noob, but I have decent programming experience so I should be able to pick it up pretty fast. If not, then I’ll go buy that Lua coding book for wow addons and learn.
Finding the right addon for me is really worth that much :-)
