2 years ago Fwiw, I was the original author of the oUF_Fader plugin, which I stopped maintaining a decade ago. If I still maintained it I'd have added support for overrides in it like oUF and my maintained plugins has, which would alleviate this issue in some sense for those who wish to modify ElvUI (in)directly.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I dislike how the entire unitframe is transparent whenever the unit is out of range, when using the Fader option for unitframes. It is different from the default blizzard frames and I think it makes it harder to spot important information.
Describe the solution you'd like This can be solved by adding an option to only lower the alpha of the StatusBar instead of the entire Health frame. An example of the goal outcome would result in something like this:
Describe alternatives you've considered At one point, I had a weak aura that would find all the frames and create a solid backdrop behind them, however, it was slow at updating when people left and joined raid groups as well as handling moving people between groups.
Additional context I did play around with the code a bit and achieved something that I desired by making changes in both the oUF library and the oUF_Fader plugin. I, therefore, created an issue on their repo about adding this change, and they assured me that my desired outcome was achievable with how it works today.
I hope that even if you aren't interested in implementing this someone could provide me with some guidance on how I would go about making the change myself.
