   Greetings!
   Is there any way to change the color of my unit frame to some grossly bright color (like an obnoxious non-DK-red) when a friendly target is MC'd/Charmed, or to apply a text that states charmed on my unit frames when those conditions are met? I'm moving over from Grid 2, and I love ElvUI's unit frames very much; however, I cannot seem to find/emulate this functionality. Grid 2 applied...

   ElvUI Layout Installer Framework

   Information and Download ()
   This is a framework you can use if you want to create an installer for one or more of your layouts. While you can always choose to simply export your profile and other settings, and then share those exports, a dedicated installer might be ideal if you have a lot of layouts you want to provide easy...

   Hi Christinxa . As outlined in the Errors. I Need Help section of this thread, please create a new thread in the lua section of the forum. That will allow a much easier discussion about your issue only, while also preventing clutter in this thread.

   How to properly use the framework as a skeleton for your own plugin: ()
   
   You should change MyPluginName to something unique, perhaps incorporating your username or using a name that describes what the plugin is meant to do. Example: BlazePlugin . Changing the title in the .toc file is optional, but you should always make sure you use a unique name when you create a module in ElvUI:
   
   You should...

   Updated the code for AddonSkins in my original post. Be patient greatness takes time and possibly some wine :)
