DragonUI v2.4.1 🐉

Follow-up release with new features and bug fixes.

✨ New Features

• Layout Presets - Added a full preset workflow to save, load, duplicate, delete, import, and export complete UI layouts and addon settings, with compressed shareable preset strings.
• Editor Mode Controls - Added a new editor control panel with live X/Y coordinates, manual input, pixel-by-pixel position controls, and click-to-select support. Selected frames now use a clear green selected state to make precise repositioning easier.
• Tooltip Position in Editor Mode - Added the game tooltip to Editor Mode so it can be repositioned freely.

🐞 Bug Fixes

⚠️ Known Issues

• Party and raid role icons (DPS, Healer, Tank) may be lost after reloading the UI during combat in dungeons joined via the Dungeon Finder.
• Party and raid scenarios still need broader real-world validation.
• If you find any other issues, please report them on GitHub.

DragonUI v2.1 🐉

🛠️ Hotfix Release

This is a quick release focused on fixing major bugs and missing elements introduced in version 2.0. Right after launching the previous version, I worked on resolving the most urgent issues and improving the overall experience. Here’s what’s new:

---

✨ Changes & Improvements

• 🎨 Added class color for Target of Target, Focus, and Target of Focus.
• 🐾 Fixed issues where Focus and Target power bar textures would not update correctly when changing druid forms.
  Also improved the logic for painting those textures to ensure they always work as expected.
• 📝 Fixed a minor positioning bug for the power bar text in "both" format for Focus (it was too far to the right).
• 🧩 Adjusted the positioning of Target of Target and Target of Focus so they are no longer overlapped by the castbar.
• 🪄 Improved the logic for the Focus castbar: it now moves away inversely and progressively with each row of buffs/debuffs, so it doesn’t move too far and never overlaps Target of Target.
• ⚙️ Added an option in the modules to disable buffs.
• 🛑 Fixed a critical issue: when the player was at max level, an invisible frame prevented clicking on elements underneath.
• 🐻 Fixed the Stance Bar so it no longer causes taint when reloading in combat, and improved its logic to prevent unwanted repositioning.
  (The Stance Bar can now be positioned from the alternative bars options.)
• 🤔 ...and a few more fixes I can’t remember, but trust me, they’re there!
