Hi, im looking for a unit frame that i can use while in Bg: and raid ect. I whant it to only cover my 2 clones so i can keep an eye out for their health/mana ect, dont think that the raid window unitframes are big enuf.

I know addons like Jamba already have one of those but i need someone that i config. to be pritty big. Jamba one looks to small for my needs.

So if there is any addon out there that is possible to config this way i would be really happy.

Thank you for your help!

I use Grid for this purpose.
You'll need Grid + GridCustomLayouts.
And GridManaBars for the mana tracking (I don't use this one, but would imagine the config is similar).

Open Grid with /Grid Config
Go to Layouts, and then Advanced Layouts.

Click New, and then enter this syntax exactly (well, replace with your slaves names):
nameList="ToonA,ToonB"

The Frame section will let you control how many letters appear in the Grid Box.
Ramp it up, so their entire names show.

And then the Advanced Options under Frame can modify the height and width of the Grid Frame.

Also, the standard UI has raid frames, from the raid window, you can "pull out" toons by name and place them anywhere you want, and whenever you are in a raid with them, they will show up right where you put them last. Handy if you swap out toons.

I'm not sure that the Grid frames can become that huge.
But they're easily legible, and can be configured in a lot of ways.
And forced to display alphabetical or specific toons, classes etc.

And you can configure more then option, and easily switch between the options on the fly.
Or decide on option A in this situation and option B in this other one.
Choice are Solo, Group, 10-man, 25-man, 40-man.
With the configuration of choice for each.
