ClassicAPI carries notInterruptible on C_Spell.UnitCastingInfo (arg 8) and UnitChannelInfo (arg 7); both call sites already stepped over it positionally. The target, focus and nameplate bars now paint it. There is no shield art to hang on the icon -- this client ships three CastingBar textures (Border, Flash, Spark), and Blizzard's shield arrived in 3.x -- so the state is carried by color instead: the bar and the icon's border both take a new appearance.castbar.shieldcolor, which keeps it legible on a bar configured without an icon. One api helper paints both so the two modules cannot drift apart on it. Dusty rose (.8,.45,.45) rather than a steel grey. Grey is the retail convention, but pfUI's casting color is already a near-grey pale blue, so the two separated on brightness alone and washed out against the bar texture. The rose sits above failcolor in luminance and well below it in saturation, and the two are further told apart by motion: a failed cast flashes the bar full and fades, a shielded one fills normally and tints the icon border, which failcolor never touches. Not on the player's own bar. The flag is measured against the reader's own interrupts and silences, so on your own cast it answers a question nobody asked. Stamped once at cast start, with the rest of the cast data, rather than re-polled. ClassicAPI evaluates lazily from the caster's live auras but does not yet fire the 3.3.5 UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTIBLE / _NOT_INTERRUPTIBLE change events, and polling per frame would undo the event-driven rework these bars just got -- so a caster who bubbles mid-cast keeps the bar it started with until the next one. Two limits worth knowing when it stays dark. The value is relative to your own kit -- with no interrupt and no silence known it is never reported, whatever the cast -- and a creature's built-in interrupt immunity lives in creature_template, which 1.12's SMSG_SPELL_START does not carry, so a boss with that immunity reads interruptible while your kick still fails on it.

FAQ
What does "pfUI" stand for?
The term "pfui!" is german and simply stands for "pooh!", because I'm not a
big fan of creating configuration UI's, especially not via the Wow-API
(you might have noticed that in ShaguUI).
How can I donate?
You can buy me a coffee if you'd like
How do I report a Bug?
Please provide as much information as possible in the Bugtracker.
If there is an error message, provide the full content of it. Just telling that "there is an error" won't help any of us.
Please consider adding additional information such as: since when did you got the error,
does it still happen using a clean configuration, what other addons are loaded and which version you're running.
When playing with a non-english client, the language might be relevant too. If possible, explain how people can reproduce the issue.
Where is the happiness indicator for pets?
The pet happiness is shown as the color of your pet's frame. Depending on your skin, this can either be the text or the background color of your pet's healthbar:
- Green = Happy
- Yellow = Content
- Red = Unhappy
Since version 4.0.7 there is also an additional icon that can be enabled from the pet unit frame options.
Can I use Clique with pfUI?
This addon already includes support for clickcasting. If you still want to make use of clique, all pfUI's unitframes are already compatible to Clique-TBC. For Vanilla, a pfUI compatible version can be found Here. If you want to keep your current version of Clique, you'll have to apply this Patch.
Where is the Experience Bar?
The experience bar shows up on mouseover and whenever you gain experience, next to left chatframe by default. There's also an option to make it stay visible all the time.
How do I show the Damage- and Threatmeter Dock?
If you enabled the "dock"-feature for your external (third-party) meters such as DPSMate or KTM, then you'll be able to toggle between them and the Right Chat by clicking on the ">" symbol on the bottom-right panel.
Why is my chat always resetting to only 3 lines of text?
This happens if "Simple Chat" is enabled in blizzards interface settings (Advanced Options).
Paste the following command into your chat to disable that option: /run SIMPLE_CHAT="0"; pfUI.chat.SetupPositions(); ReloadUI()
How can I enable mouseover cast?
On Vanilla, create a macro with "/pfcast SPELLNAME". If you also want to see the cooldown, You might want to add "/run if nil then CastSpellByName("SPELLNAME") end" on top of the macro.
Everything from scratch?! Are you insane?
Most probably, yes.
