Is there an existing request for this?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Since the versions above v5.2.81, some important auras like Atonement will not be shown on party members. The versions older than I mentioned will shown them in deeper color like this, but the newer versions took them away from me. image

Describe the solution you'd like

Add some toggle options in /azerite UnitFrame Settings > Party Frames like "hide auras are not from player", "hide auras which cannot be dispelled", etc. And made all auras be shown by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I rewind the version to v5.1.74 to bring them back.

Also, I wonder how AzeriteUI considers auras to be bright-colored and deep-colored. I know the decolorized auras mean it's from other players, but what's the difference between them?

Goldpaw commented 11 months ago

Well the difference is that they're from other players, like you said. :)

The whole idea of desaturating auras not applied by the player, and also sorting them last, is to make it easier for damagers to know when their own DoTs are running out. Which ofc has nothing, nothing, nothing to do with auras on party members since you generally don't attempt to kill your own team.

Aura border coloring and desaturation is done by a different part of the code from the sorting, and the sorting done from a different part than the filtering. And I haven't made unique filters for each frame yet, some of it is a bit recycled. Like the desaturation.

Having that explained, yes; I'll add more aura options, for not just the party frames but also the 5p raid frames, player, target and possibly boss- and arena enemy frames too. For all frames that have auras, in other words.

I'm thinking maybe we should put all of this in the Aura section of the options menu, though? And just split that section into general options and per unit/grouptype options? To have all the aura settings in one place, I mean?

Hey Goldpaw, sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the explanation for aura coloring, and I think having aura settings in one section is totally fine!

For the post I made here, I think I might not explained my issues accurately. I've like to post a screenshot below. Which tells some auras from my paladin like Glimmer of Light or Beacon of Light etc, are not showing under party members aura frame.

For the issue and suggestion is, I wonder why those auras with deep-color are not showing under party members anymore since the higher version than v5.1.74? If there's a chance to bring them back to the party members, I would like to have an aura setting for that.

There are six visible slots for auras under party frames in azeriteui, while a unit can have at least 64 buffs and 40 debuffs. There is no way to always show everything unless you want the whole screen covered in auras.

I am working on an overhaul of the aura system that will whitelist a lot of auras and also enable people to manually add auras to that whitelist. I have no ETA on when this is finished.
