NexEnhance

A lightweight, modular framework that enhances the default Blizzard UI — it improves, it doesn't replace.

Overview

NexEnhance supercharges the stock World of Warcraft interface without throwing it away. Instead of replacing Blizzard's UI with a heavy custom skin, it layers dozens of small, opt-in modules on top of the default frames — class-coloured health, item levels, smart automation, tooltip data, chat cleanup, minimap tools, and more.

Every feature is self-contained and toggleable, so you can run the full suite or cherry-pick exactly what you want. The whole thing is built event-driven and tuned for performance, so it stays light on memory and CPU even across long sessions.

• Enhance, don't replace — your UI still looks and behaves like Blizzard's, just better.
• Modular — 60+ independent modules, each with its own settings and live-apply toggles.
• Native settings — a clean options panel built on Blizzard's own Settings API, plus Edit Mode movers for repositionable elements.
• Performance-first — local caches, throttled updates, and combat-safe deferrals throughout.

Installation

Via an addon manager (recommended)

• CurseForge — search for NexEnhance and install.

Manual

1. Download the latest release from the Releases page.
2. Extract the NexEnhance folder into World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns.
3. Restart the game (or /reload if already in-game).

On first login you'll get a short setup screen offering a handful of recommended Blizzard CVars (auto-loot, locked action bars, class-coloured raid frames, etc.). Everything else is left untouched, and you can re-run it anytime with /nex install.

Getting Started

Features

NexEnhance groups its modules into the same themed categories you'll find in the options panel.

General

• UI Scale — pixel-perfect (1 UI pixel = 1 screen pixel) auto-scaling, or a manual scale of your choice. Reload-safe and combat-aware.
• Number Format — choose how large numbers abbreviate everywhere: Standard (1.2k/3.4m), East Asian (1.2w/3.4y), or full numbers.
• Camera Zoom — raise the maximum camera zoom-out distance beyond the default.
• Cast On Key Down — fire action buttons on key press instead of release.

Action Bars

• Action Bars — style Blizzard action buttons, abbreviate hotkeys, and toggle macro names, stack counts and keybind text (with adjustable font sizes).
• Skin Extra Buttons — give the Extra Action and Zone Ability buttons the standard action-bar frame, with an adjustable scale.
• Cooldown Text — formatted countdown numbers on cooldowns, with coloured/plain and decimal/integer styles, a configurable mm:ss threshold, a weeks tier, and optional scaling that hides text on tiny cooldowns.

Unit Frames

• Class-Coloured Health — colour unit-frame health by class (players) or reaction (NPCs) across player, target, focus, boss, party and more, with an optional neutral target strip.
• Frame Colour — tint the default unit frames and HUD (player, pet, target, focus, boss, class resources, cast bars, totems, minimap) with a colour of your choice, including a custom border colour.

Auras

• Buff Reminder — show a "Lack" icon when you're missing a buff you can provide. Resizable icons, a Blizzard-style border, and an Edit Mode mover (preview with /nex reminder).

Inventory

• Item Level — item levels on equipped, bag, merchant, trade and loot items, with optional gem/socket/enchant info, missing-enchant warnings, BoE/BoA/WuE bind labels, and an adjustable font size.
• Durability — lowest equipped-item durability on the Character pane with a per-slot repair-cost tooltip.
• Mail — Collect-Gold, Take-All and quick-delete buttons on the mailbox.
• Already Known — tint already-known recipes, pets, toys and cosmetics green at vendors, the Auction House and Guild Bank.
• Junk Icon — always show the coin icon on Poor-quality bag items, not just at a merchant.
• Unusable Items — tint bag/bank icons red for gear your class can't use or that you're too low level for.

Chat

• Chat — a deep set of chat tweaks: flat tabs, edit-box border/positioning/colouring, hide-when-inactive, side-button and scroll-bar hiding, Tab channel switching, quick scroll, sticky whispers, whisper sound, a font-size menu, repositionable Battle.net pop-up and Quick Join button, and Keyword Auto-Invite.
• Chat Copy — a button to copy the chat window's text.
• Chat Channels — tidy channel names, clickable/copyable URLs, abbreviated channel brackets and optional timestamps.

Filters

• Chat Filter — hide spam by keyword or repeated near-identical messages, block strangers/repeat spammers, and append item level + sockets to item links in chat. Manage keywords with /nexfilter.

Tooltip

• Tooltip — faction/role icons, hidden realm names and titles, Mythic+ score, quality-coloured border, and configurable health-bar position/height.
• Tooltip IDs — append spell, item, quest and other IDs.
• Tooltip Icons — show an icon next to the tooltip title.
• Tooltip Item Level — average item level on inspected player tooltips (optionally Shift-only).
• Hover Tips — tooltips when hovering item/spell links in chat.

Skins

Light, targeted restyling of select Blizzard frames — improved, not replaced.

• Objective Tracker — hide header backgrounds, tidy the minimise button, optional class-coloured bars.
• Character Frames — restyle and resize the Character and Inspect frames.
• Missing Stats — surface hidden character-sheet stats (attack power, weapon speed, spell power, regen, movement) and tidy the readouts.
• Chat Bubbles — a clean Blizzard-style border on chat bubbles.
• Details! — skin Details! Damage Meter windows with a minimalistic look and Blizzard-style border.
• Quest Navigation — an estimated arrival time under the super-tracked waypoint arrow.

DataText

• Stats — a movable FPS/latency readout under the minimap, with a memory/addon tooltip, flip order, and class-coloured numbers.
• Clock — a minimap clock with a lockout/reset tooltip (daily/weekly resets, saved instances, world events and more).
• Location — zone and sub-zone text at the top of the minimap, optionally on mouseover.

Maps

• Minimap — square shape, clean border, status pulse (combat/mail/invites), Easy Volume (Ctrl-scroll), a middle-click shortcut menu, and a button-collecting tray.
• World Map — player/cursor coordinates, a smaller windowed map, and fade-while-moving.
• Map Reveal — reveal unexplored areas by removing fog of war, with optional dimming of revealed tiles.
• Wowhead Links — copyable Wowhead links on the world map (tracked quest) and achievement frame.

Automation

Hands-off quality-of-life.

• Auto Vendor — auto-sell junk and repair (with guild funds) at merchants, plus a custom junk list (/nexjunk).

Announcements

• Quest Notification — announce accepted quests and completions to your group, with optional progress updates and a completion sound.
• Rare Alert — announce nearby rares and world events the moment their vignette appears, with an anti-burst sound throttle and optional clickable map links.

Miscellaneous

Always-On

• BlizzFix — a collection of quiet bug fixes for default-UI quirks (no settings; just works).

Configuration

Open the panel with /nex (or through the Blizzard AddOns settings). Options are grouped into the same categories listed above. Most toggles apply live; a few that restyle protected frames note "reload to apply." Repositionable elements (Buff Reminder, Experience Bar, chat toasts) integrate with Edit Mode.

Contributing

Contributions, bug reports and ideas are welcome! Open an issue or a pull request. When filing a bug, including your client version and a /reload-able repro helps a ton.
