BlackwellUI v2.7.0-azs

The biggest update so far: a stability pass over every module, a redesigned control center and a cleaner way to leave your game settings exactly as they were.

BlackwellUI in a horde fight

New

  • Redesigned control center (/bw): five pages (General, Appearance, HUD, Combat, Map & Run), a plain-language hint under every setting, and options that belong to a module are greyed out while that module is off.
  • Multipliers can grow upwards (HUD page): the bottom edge stays in place, so the panel fits above the chat.
  • Your game settings are safe: every stock setting BlackwellUI changes (floating damage numbers, stock run HUD) is remembered and given back exactly when you turn the feature off, instead of being forced to "on".
  • Reset layout now asks before moving every frame back.

Fixed

  • Loot log now shows item quality colours.
  • The "4 Guardians before 8:00" goal now counts guardian kills.
  • Class colour in the character window was always the Warrior colour; armor was always 0.
  • Nameplates of neutral and friendly units no longer turn red after a moment.
  • Damage meter: spells such as Shadow Word: Pain are no longer split as item procs; meter, buff and nameplate data reset at the start of every run.
  • Equipment panel shows all 17 slots, weapons included.
  • Multipliers panel no longer shows sample numbers during a real run.
  • The cast bar can be moved in edit mode.
  • The "Action Bars" toggle works; turning off Chat, Minimap, Unit Frames, Character or Action Bars keeps them working until /reload (with a prompt) instead of making them vanish.
  • "Hide loot pop-ups" no longer hides the BlackwellUI loot log.
  • The stock HUD flag no longer flips back and forth every 5 seconds.
  • One faulty module can no longer stop the whole HUD; errors are reported once instead of ten times a second.
  • Less work per frame (minimap, combat text sync).

Changed

  • Ability alerts are off for new installs. They do not check your class (a Mage would see "Overpower") and announce spells the game casts by itself. Existing settings are kept.
  • The NPOT bar texture "Atrocity" was removed (it does not render in the browser client); affected profiles fall back to "Melli".

Install / update

Download BlackwellUI.zip below and replace the AzerothSurvivors\benilla-config\AddOns\BlackwellUI folder. Settings are kept and migrated automatically. Browser client: install the zip through the in-game AddOns dialog.

Before uninstalling, open /bw, untick Combat text (Combat page) and Replace the stock run HUD (General page), then remove the folder. The game only saves these settings while you play.

Tested in-game on the Windows client (game build of 2026-11-01).
