   The simple code would be:

   Hello! I posted last expac with Raid Debuffs and I'm back, this time starting with Dungeons. List has been formatted for Tukui Tracking.lua. Debuffs are pulled from this list. I did not include the Minor Debuffs (in italics) simply because it didn't seem worth tracking.
   
   For readability, I've posted the code here.
   
   I'll also offer my expanded Druid HoT tracking list for those interested.

   Is the WorldMapFrame no longer moveable? I always used to anchor in the upper left hand corner. Now it's stuck about half way down and I can't seem to get it to move.
   I figured this snippet would reposition it but noithing..
   
   I added the Movers option which lets me move it manually, but if I open and close it, it resets itself to the default position.

   Most likely you need to unregister it from the Blizzard element that handles UI element positions. I think part of the name is actually UIElements or UIPanels but not entirely sure.

   There is no easy way to do that, and I don't have any instructions on how to do that. A workaround is to use a different profile for party/raid with player unitframe disabled, and then swap to/from that profile.

   An edit just implies that you will be doing a lot of cosmetic changes and layout changes, while a plugin is more functionality than anything else. Essentially it's the same thing, and you code them to work with ElvUI in the same way.

    I just remembered that the _REGEN_ events might fire a bit too early or too late. For example when going into combat, the _REGEN_DISABLED will fire too early before you are actually locked down in combat. It's possible that the UnitAffectingCombat API is returning an unreliable value because of that.

    You could create the first frame with the NoBackdrop template. That should give you a panel that is essentially just a border. Then create a 2nd frame with the class color template and position it inside the first frame. Then you can use any height you want.
