Getting started

• /fuf opens the options window. The frames are listed on the left (General first), the tabs of the selected page are along the top.
• General sets the look of every frame at once. A frame's own page can override any of those settings; an overridden setting has a Reset button that hands it back to General.
• General > Frames lists every frame with a switch, to turn frames on or off at a glance.
• Test mode (button at the bottom of the window) shows every frame with sample values: auras, casts, a full party, and every indicator you have switched on, so you can set everything up without a target or a group. It covers the unit frames only; the raid frames have a test mode of their own (below).
• Moving frames: Unlock frames at the bottom of the window (or /fuf unlock), drag them, then Lock frames (or /fuf lock). Exact positions are on each frame's Layout tab. This moves the unit frames; the raid panel has its own Unlock frames in the raid window.
• Scrolling: the mouse wheel scrolls the page. To change a slider with the wheel, hold Shift. You can also drag a slider or type a value into the box next to it.

Raid frames

• /fuf raid opens the raid options window (also: the Raid frames… button at the bottom of /fuf, the raid frames' own minimap button, or their entry in the addon compartment).
• The top bar of the raid window reads General | 10 | 20 | 40 | Profiles. General holds the settings of your character, the same at every size (General, Click-casting, Buffs, Tools). Each character has three raid profiles, one per raid size: 10, 20 and 40; picking a size shows its tabs and edits its profile, the one shown right now is marked (shown). Profiles holds what acts on sizes as a whole (see below). Raid size shown next to them follows the raid instance (outside one the group's size), or fixes one size.
• Unlock frames in the raid window lets you drag the raid panels and the raid tools bar (only these; /fuf lock locks them too). Test mode in the raid window shows a pretend raid of the size you edit, at that size's place, with every option you switched on, and pretend players in the special panels you switched on; closing the window or entering combat ends it. It covers the raid frames only (the panels, the raid tools bar and the buff watch window); the unit frames keep their own test mode.
• Special panels (the Special panels tab) show the raid's main tanks (on by default) and main assists, your own lists of tanks and of favorites, and the raid's pets, each in a panel of its own with its own place per raid size. Players stay in their group as well. Right-click a cell to put a player on your tanks or your favorites, or type the names on the Special panels tab; in combat the panel follows after the fight.
• Own panels (the Own panels tab): up to nine panels of your own beside the main panel, per raid size, each with its grouping (group, class or role), the blocks it shows, a title and a layout of its own. Drag a block from one panel's column to another's, or click it and pick Move to …. A block of the main panel's grouping leaves the main panel; one of another grouping shows its players again (a "Healers" panel beside the groups). Changes made in combat apply after the fight.
• The raid tools bar (the Tools tab) takes the place of Blizzard's raid manager: raid target icons and the last ready check for everyone; starting a ready check, a role poll and world markers for the leader and assistants; everyone an assistant, party to raid and back and the loot method for the leader. It sits behind a handle on the right edge of the raid panel, or free where you drag it, with the handle on its left edge. Click the handle, type /fuf tools or right-click the raid minimap button to fold the bar out or in. It folds and follows changes of who leads only out of combat (a fold asked for in combat comes after it).
• The Profiles tab (beside the sizes) starts with the role templates, the looks and the setup wizard's button (see Templates). Below them it keeps your own profiles (all three sizes or one, under a name, for every character of your account), copies one size onto another (everything, or without layout and sizes) or a size of another of your characters, resets a size, and exports all sizes or one as a text and imports it again. Applying, copying between sizes and importing several sizes can be undone once.
• Corner indicators take spell IDs or spell names from your spell book; a name stands for every rank you know. A name or class the window cannot use is named in the chat.
• The cells have a look of their own per raid size (texture, colors, fonts, border): changing the party frame does not change them.

Profiles

General > Profile: Export gives a text you can copy to share or back up your whole setup, Import takes such a text, Reset all settings goes back to the defaults.
