Clique is a simple GUI that lets you assign click-casting for any number of unit frames. Click casting allows you to define the behavior the game takes when you click on a frame. This can be casting spells, running a macro, using an item, or something as simple as changing targets or assisting a unit.
To begin with Clique, simply open your spellbook, and click the new tab that exists there. This is the Clique configuration tab, and you can open it anytime you are not in combat to configure your clicks.
If all you want is simple spell casting, find the spell in your book, and click on it (using the combination of keys and mouse button you would like) and it will be added to the list on the right-hand pane. You can always cast the MAX rank of a spell, by clicking the "Max" button when you have a spellcast selected.
In addition to basic click-casting, Clique has the concepts of click-sets. There are four different click-sets that can be selected (in the upper right-hand corner):
- Default: These are the fall-through actions that will be used when another action isn't found.
- Harmful actions: These actions will be taken if you are clicking on a mob that is hostile to you (i.e. it's attackable). This allows you to define a different set of clicks for enemies.
- Helpful actions: These actions will be taken if you are clicking on a mob that is an ally (i.e. it's assistable). This allows you to define a different set of clicks for supporting your allies.
- Out-of-combat: These clicks override any other click-set, and only exist when you are out-of-combat (such as buffing your party, etc). This prevents you from say, group buffing in the middle of combat, costing half of your mana bar.
Clique and dual talent specs
In addition Clique allows you to set up different profiles, and can automatically switch between them when your character changes talent groups. In order to set this up, simple create the two profiles you would like to use (on the Profiles) button, and then open the Options button to set them to your primary and secondary specs.

How to use Clique
1. Install the addon
2. Open your spellbook
3. You should see a new tab. This is the Clique configuration UI. Click on this tab to open the Clique UI
4. You should see a row of buttons at the bottom, but lets ignore them for now.
5. Navigate to a spell in your spellbook (It can be anything that isn't passive, including Pet spells)
6. Click directly on the spell, holding down any of the Alt/Control/Shift keys in combination, or none of them.
7. This defines a "click-cast" in the CliqueUI. Now anytime you use that combination of modifiers and button on any unit frame which is defined as click-castable, you will cast the spell ON THAT UNIT if its able to be a targeted spell.
8. Click on the Clique tab again, to close the configuration UI
How do I STOP Clique from click-casting on a specific frame, but leave it active on others
1. Open the spellbook
2. Open the Clique UI
3. Click the "Options" button.
Any frames that are checked will be managed by Clique. Simply find the frame in the list, and uncheck it. If you don't know the name of a frame you can use the following script, while putting your mouse over the frame:
/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage("You are hovering over frame: " .. GetMouseFocus():GetName())
How do I set up common profiles for my priests, for example
1. Open the spellbook
2. Open the Clique UI
3. Click on the "Profiles" button
4. Click on the "New" button
5. Type in the name of the profile you'd like to create, say "Priests"
6. Click "Ok"
7. You will see confirmation in your main chat frame that Clique has changed to the new profile.
How do I select that profile on another character, so they can share?
1. Open the spellbook
2. Open the CliqueUI
3. Click on the "Profiles" button
4. Select the profile you would like to choose
5. Click on the "Set" button
6. You will see confirmation in the main chat frame that Clique has changed to the profile.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
