Overlay Profiles

Overlay Profiles

Profiles let you save and switch between different overlay configurations. This is useful when you play multiple roles or specs — for example, a DPS layout with damage meters front and center vs. a healer layout with raid frames and HOT trackers prioritized.

A profile stores:

• Overlay positions and sizes
• Overlay appearance settings (colors, fonts, opacity)
• Which overlays are enabled
• Per-overlay configuration options

Up to 12 profiles can be saved.

Creating a Profile

1. Set up your overlays the way you want them (enable, position, customize)
2. Navigate to the Overlays tab
3. Click Save as Profile
4. The profile is created with a default name and becomes the active profile

Switching Profiles

There are two places to switch profiles:

Overlays Tab

Select a profile from the Profiles dropdown on the Overlays tab. All overlays will update immediately to match the selected profile’s settings.

Header Bar

A compact profile dropdown in the header bar allows quick switching during gameplay without navigating to the Overlays tab.

Saving Changes to a Profile

After making changes to your overlay layout or settings:

1. Make sure the profile you want to update is selected in the dropdown
2. Click the save icon (floppy disk) next to the dropdown
3. Your current settings overwrite the active profile

Note

Changes to overlay positions, enabled state, and appearance are not automatically saved to the active profile. You must explicitly click save to update a profile.

Profile Behavior

• Overlay visibility (shown/hidden) is independent of profiles and persists across profile switches
• Switching profiles immediately updates all running overlays
• The last active profile is remembered across app restarts
• If no profiles exist, BARAS uses default settings
