• Strong visual clarity
• Compatibility with WoW: Midnight

Showcase

CardinalUI dynamically adapts its layout based on your current game state.

Out of Combat — Moving, No Target

Minimalist view when you're travelling with no target selected. The UI collapses to reduce visual noise and keep your screen clear.

---

Target Exists or In Combat

Full combat layout activates automatically when you have a target or enter combat. Target frames, buffs, and debuffs expand for maximum situational awareness.

---

Out of Combat — Stationary

When standing still and out of combat, the minimap and additional panels are shown for easy navigation and information access.
