with combat status, ToT, and custom colors and font
OnScreenHealth
OnScreenHealth provides basic text displays of health and power for yourself, your target, and your pet.
Features:
Shows health and power for player, target, and pet
Shows target-of-target name
Shows combo points
Shows combat status
Can be hidden while out of combat or while dead
Customizable text formats, fonts, colors, transparency, and position
Supports LibSharedMedia-3.0 for additonal fonts
Usage:
Type /onscreenhealth or /osh in-game to access the available options.
Important: If you are having trouble configuring OnScreenHealth (i.e. you change settings but your changes are ignored) try logging out, disabling all addons except OnScreenHealth (Niagara is fine to leave enabled if you use it for configuration), and logging back in. You should now be able to make any changes. After you're done making changes, you can log out, enable the rest of your addons again, log back in, and play normally. I don't know why this problem occurs, and have not experienced it myself, but it seems to work for some users.
Localization:
OnScreenHealth is completely locale-independent, so it will work in any locale. The options text is currently localized for English, Russian, and Korean clients. If you would like to provide translations for the another locale, please send me a PM.
Known Issues:
None.
Future Plans:
Hide/show pet frame independently
More flexible show/hide states
More flexible text formatting
Feature Requests:
Post a feature request describing the feature you'd like to see. Please note that OnScreenHealth is intended to be very minimalistic in nature, and show only vital information. It is not intended to be a unit frame replacement, or a full HUD. In keeping with this intent, OnScreenHealth will never include names (other than the ToT), levels, classes, creature types, classifications, buffs, debuffs, or spell casts.
Bug Reports:
Post a bug report describing the problem. Before doing so, please see my portal for information on some basic troubleshooting steps you can take to help me identify and fix the problem more quickly.

In particular, redistribution without prior permission is prohibited.

Is there a need to update? I use the addon on both of my tank characters, and have not seen any issues with its functionality.
Both of the additions you mentioned are outside the scope of OnScreenHealth. It is not, and will never be, a complete replacement for your unit frames. It is intended to be a minimal display of critical information that can be placed in a convenient location without obstructing your view of the game world. Raid icons are not critical information, any more than your target's name is; I assume you already know what you are targetting when you're looking at OnScreenHealth's target display. Similarly, if seeing the health and power of your focus is critical at any given time, the same unit is probably also your current target.
As for a conversion away from Ace2, I simply don't have time right now to spend on changing something that isn't broken and doesn't impact actual functionality in any way. Do you really need to change the settings so often that using slash commands (or Niagara) is such an imposition?
Phanx, you have any plans to update this? I think it is the only addon I'm still using that uses Ace2 and needs niagara for an options panel. A couple of things I would like too see added:
1. Focus health and power
2. Raid icons for focus and target
Any way, hoping to see some updates, love this HUD type addon cause it's so much lighter than other ones.
Hey there! ;-) I seem to have a problem positioning the text :-/
I wanna move both the texts to the left side of my screen, but I can't.
It's like stuck in the middle, I wanna move the texts seperately, and not both together. Thanks ;-)
It was PitBull 3, which has since been abandoned by its author in favor of PitBull 4, and I don't have the layout, since I haven't used any version of PitBull in over two years, sorry.
What update is needed? Due to technical difficulties, I haven't logged in since the patch, but my roommate uses OnScreenHealth and has not reported any issues with the patch.
I have a problem if it is able to opt to leave the target and frame only responsible for my hp / mp?
target frame bothers me because I want this place to use in another way
Originally posted by Maximillianm Great addon; do u think perhaps in the future u could include party health just with text - as in just their name and percentage?
No... as someone who plays a tank, a healer, and two damage dealers on a regular basis, I see absolutely no value in that information presented in that way. As a tank or damage dealer, I can't do anything about anyone's health, so having that information on full party frames out of the center of the screen is fine. As a healer, I need to actually be able to interact with the information about party members to target heals, which means I need actual party frames I can click on or target spells on, not just text. If you can give me a good reason why this would be remotely useful, and not just redundant, I may consider it, but as far as I can see, it's not something I will add.

Originally posted by bizzy100 Really great addon! Awesome work, but I have a question. Is it possible to show health and power of the focused target? Thank you!
Probably not. My view is that you're rarely focusing something because you need to monitor its health and power. You're generally focusing a mob to watch your crowd control, or focusing the main assist to know what to attack, or focusing the main tank for Misdirect macros. While focus text would be slightly more useful than party text, I still don't think it falls under the purvue of "critical information" that needs to be duplicated (as presumably you'll already have a full unit frame for your focus), so I am declining your request for now.
Unfortunately the Ace2 libraries used by OnScreenHealth are no longer developed or really supported, and I'm pretty sure this is just another bug like the one that reports the current value of sub-groups as "None" despite them not being settings. OnScreenHealth was one of my earlier addons, and though I have a half-written Ace-free version, I have no idea when I will have time to finish it, test it, and release it. In the meantime, thanks for the info Suchutki; I'll add it to the description in case it helps others.
Originally posted by Phanx I do not provide support for versions of my addons downloaded from anywhere other than the individual download pages I personally maintain. Though I have given the uploader of Acaciaizm MiniMe UI permission to include my addon, I do not have time to monitor it and other compilations to make sure that they're always include an unmodified copy of the current version of my addon.
Please completely remove OnScreenHealth from your addon folder and re-download it from this page. Then, log in with all addons except OnScreenHealth disabled, and try to change the setting through the command line as described several posts below yours.
To everyone having problem with text format configuration - just turn off all of your addons leaving only osh running, log on to the game, configure what you want using /osh command and then just log out and reactivate all the stuff. Works fine for me and I've experienced problems while trying to configure osh included in acaciaizm minime ui.
