QuickMark

Warning

⚠️ QuickMark is discontinued

QuickMark is no longer maintained due to breaking API changes in World of Warcraft: Midnight (Patch 12.0.0).

What happened: Blizzard's "Addon Disarmament" moved SetRaidTarget behind SecureActionButtonTemplate, breaking QuickMark's core click-to-mark functionality. WeakAuras, ElvUI, and many other addons were also discontinued as a result.

Alternative: Use WoW's built-in raid marker UI (right-click target portrait or bind raid markers in Key Bindings > Raid Target).

A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that provides a convenient, draggable interface for quickly marking enemy targets with raid icons.

Features

• Quick Access Bar: Floating bar with all 8 raid target icons (Star, Circle, Diamond, Triangle, Moon, Square, Cross, Skull)
• One-Click Marking: Click an icon to mark your current target; click again to remove the mark
• Flexible Layout: Toggle between horizontal and vertical orientations
• Fully Customizable:
  • Adjustable scale (10% - 500%)
  • Multiple border styles (Classic, Slick, Wood, Hefty, Graphite, or None)
  • Configurable background color and opacity
  • Lock/unlock to prevent accidental movement
  • Show/hide as needed
• Position Memory: Remembers your bar position per character
• Blizzard Settings Integration: Full settings panel accessible via ESC menu
