SquidFrame is an addon that lets you change your standard WoW Player Frame by allowing you to easily type /squidframe to go to a settings window where you can select one of the 12 frames and change the standard frame to one of those. You can use an option/alt click cammand to drag the frame wherever you like; and it has a 3D portrait just for fun.

"It just makes WoW prettier" - SAM (creator of SquidMod)

Frames:
• None - WoW Player Frame
• Rare - Rare Mob Frame
• Elite - Elite Mob Frame
• RareElite - Rare Elite Mob Frame
• Rare (Pixel) - Pixel Frame
• Elite (Pixel) - Pixel Frame
• BlizzCon '07 1 - GreatSword Frame (BlizzCon '07)
• BlizzCon '07 2 - LongSword Frame (BlizzCon '07)
• Deathknight1 - Class Frame
• Deathknight2 - Class Frame
• Rogue1 - Class Frame
• Squid - Default "Squid" Frame

Note From the Authors:

Whizque (Former Author)
I first started with Class Player Frame which didn't have the option to change the player frame in-game and I didn't know how to do that :( But then I remember about SquidMod (I always loved this addon since SAM first started it) now maintained by Ganders, instead of the gryphon (on the actionbar) I want to change player frame, so it's pretty much the same useless addon :P

Skórr (Author v1.5 and up)
It no longer uses the /squif command to change the frame, (though I might put it back in) it now has an in game menu when you type /squidframe. Version 1.5 is a little unfinished and there are little things such as there not being a Rogue 2 and that BlizzCon '07 2 is the same as Deathknight 2, but 1.8 is coming out soon and I hope the wait for 1.5 was well worth it. The only thing to watch out for is a window that will pop up and say Lua Error if this occurs exit out of the window and report it in the comments, it is being fixed. Also if you want an addon just for the elite frames by all meens get EliteFrame

1.1 uses most of the codes from SquidMod by Ganders for it to work but 1.5 changes it a lot but some of the credit still goes to him. I hope you enjoy 1.5. If you would like to know about new things for 1.8 or have sugestions PM me.

Your Opinion:

I was wondering... there are two very difficult things Im working on right now and I was wondering which one is more important to you the first might be more difficult and will take longer, the second should be easier and will not take as long... here they are
1. I'm working on a custom frame where like ag_UnitFrames or Shadowed Unit Frames you can customize your own unitframe!
2. Number two is when you change your unit frames it would also change the style of the nameplate so they match with the same design/style.

Please reply by going to SquidFrames development site HERE then you go to the upper right hand side where there will be a poll named "Which is More Important?" then select the one that you think is more important, or reply in the comments ty!

    Just installed the latest update... Like the animated 3d portraits (though agree with below suggestion of having it as an option to turn it on or off)
    Bigger concern though - for some reason this latest version of squidframe has moved my target's portrait down to the lower right hand side, quite close to where my bag opens up to give you an idea of where. No idea why and I'm unable to move it back up to the normal position (upper left next to my portrait). The problem resolves when I turn off squidframes so it's definitely from the latest update... Going to have to turn it off or redownload the old version til that's fixed as the target frame is unfortunately now covering up my healing addon (which is obviously a bit of a problem for me!...)
    Hope you can get it sorted soon,thanks!!

    I love this addon but I'm not a huge fan of the animated unit frames. If there was/could be a way to turn them off in the future I know I would love it. Untill then I may have to pass :(
