- #### **Grid version:**
- 6.0.2.1679-beta
-
-
-
- #### **WoW version and region/language:**
- 6.0 Europe German
-
-
- #### **Problem:**
  Since all of Grids default indicators have the Healthbar as parent frame a third Party indicator like ManaBars that wants to draw itself behind those indicators but in front of the other indicators has to reparent all of them. For other Thirdparty indicators this is not possible since ManaBars has no way to know about them.
- #### **Suggested Solution:**
+ Suggested Solution:
+
  Introduce a separate Frame of the size of the Unitframe minus the borderoffset in front of the healthbar which every normal indicator can use as parent frame. This way "special" indicators like the manabar can draw themself behind them without having to know about them.
+
  As a bonus the normal indicators can use the separate frame directly during creation (newFunc) as parent and don't have to reset their parent to the healthbar in the "resetFunc" method anymore.

  @Phanx: Go

  I tried that but it only works for actual frames. I couldn't find a way to change the frame level of the FontStrings for the text indicators.

  As a better temporary solution, you could just use :SetFrameLevel on the other indicators.

  Ok, this just got a bit more important: Since I currently have to reparent all indicators to the ManaBar they all hide as soon as the manabar is hidden (e.g. for non-mana using units). I think I can solve this for now by reparenting them again before hiding or showing the bar...but that really isn't fun :-)
